For Realzzz?

HELLO WORLD :)

I am writing to you as a newly Redish/Brown Brunette, Lord Help Me.. I still better have fun.

I have been (happily) blonde for 24 years, and my, what a great run it was. However, I needed a change, I had been wearing my hair up in a fun bun for like 3 weeks straight, which was not only a waste of my 90 dollar hair cut.. it really wasn’t doing me any justice either. I have been toying with the idea of switching up my game for a while now, but I never had the balls to actually do it… That was, until I met Jerry…

Jerry is my hair dresser at the Londoner hair salon in Manhattan Beach. He gave me a hair cut about 2 months back and while I was in his chair complaining about my dead and tired blonde hair he suggested going dark. While I had always had the idea in the back of my mind I didn’t think I would ever find a hair dresser to encourage me to do it. Let’s be real here for a second.. I am very VERY fair.. and no one needs to see me walking around with dark hair looking all “girl from that Ring movie”. Jerry explained to me that I could do it, and that it would make my eyes look “totally georgous” PLEASE say no more..I am tots in.

So I made the appt last Wednesday and waited anxiously for a week and a one day. I didn’t tell anyone really other than the girls I work with. I showed up with a knot in my stomach, told Jerry what I was looking for and before I knew it I had dye all over my head and looked like a nana sitting under the dryer.

It took about 45 minutes for the dye to set in because my hair had NO color at all and was super dry and gross. After the dye had set, they washed and dried me, put in a shine serum, back under the dryer. Then another wash and dry..

DUN DUN DUN I’m face to face with my hair wrapped in a towel.. When Jerry took the towel off my hair, I started laughing and couldn’t stop for like 5 minutes.

Anyway… I now have dark hair and it’s such a trip, I catch myself twirling it around my fingers and I’m like dayyyyyum who’s healthy hair is this?? But it will for sure take some getting used to…

But SHHHHH I didn’t tell J, it’s a surprise I hope he loves :)
