I tried to go blonde once, too... I hid in the house for three days admiring my hair, trying not to look in the mirror to see how horribly the hair clashed with my skin tone, before giving in and dyeing it back to a nice medium brown. I look great normally, thank goodness.

FORTUNATELY I had also picked up a bottle that looked close to my natural shade before I bleached...

I actually prefer brown hair now, and am very thankful that all the dye has grown out. Wouldn't mind a nice red, but the rest of me would look rather GREEN if I did that! UGH!

I am really beginning to think that Mother Nature knows what she's doing... with most of us, anyway.
