Maybe I should try Britney's approach.....

I have a love/hate thing with my hair. I've come to terms with the fact that it's fine and that it's not quite naturally straight but not quite naturally wavy. I've got cowlicks on both sides of my temple and I always have a little peach fuzz at the top where it breaks off. All that I have learned to live with......the length and color are what give me trouble.....

I am 99% sure I have ADD.....no, seriously, I really think I have a deficient attention span. And this carries over to what my hair looks like on any given day. If it's short, I want it long. If it's blonde, I want it brown. If it's got layers, I want it all one length. You get the idea.

So about once a year I change it. And usually I'm changing it BACK to a way it's been before! In the 20 years since high school, I bet I have had my hair in my senior year hairstyle at least 5 times (a little past shoulder length, blonde and hanging in my eyes just enough to hide behind). You can bet that no matter what style my hair is, that I will soon decide I hate it, I will change it, but sometime in the next 5 years I will go back to it. I need help.

And that brings me to today. Well, first it brings me to two years ago. I decided that coloring my hair was doing too much damage and I wanted to go natural (though what that color would be, I did not know). After my roots had grown to a length where the two tones no longer looked classy, I cut my hair to just below my ears and did my best to color it matching my actual color. I got lots of compliments and actually liked my new short style.....for about a month. I immediately started growing the length back out.

Fast forward to about 5 days ago. I decided that my natural color was not working for me (nevermind this is the hair color God gave me. Perhaps He is colorblind). So I called my hairdresser and made an appointment for highlights. For today. Cause I don't like to sit around and mull this stuff. Once I get a hair-changing idea in my head, you can count the hours until it happens. And there aren't many.

So today I got my hair highlighted for the first time in my life (before this it was always a full-blown coloring). I like it. Though I can't decided if I'm happy that it's really just my color with a little kick or if I'm disappointed that it's not more drastic. Not that it matters anyway....in about 6 months I'll decide to change it whether I like it today or not.....I should make the appointment for the head shaving now.....

This is before....very blah

This is after....not as blah...but maybe not as wow as I thought
