There's a first time for everything

And today was my first time to dye my hair. I have never ever colored or even highlighted my hair before this week. I have always thought that I would just go grey gracefully. I actually think long grey locks look regal and beautiful. But then I saw a picture of myself from behind and I saw this web of scraggly grey hairs that oddly resemble a spider latching on to the back of my head and I changed my mind.
I told my friend Gypsy (also my hairdresser) that I wanted something close to my natural color (but if it had to be different I wanted it to be darker....can you imagine a blond with my skin tone...yikes!) She put in a temporary color called "toffee." It will shampoo out in about 6 weeks. That way I don't have to keep doing it over and over again if I don't want to. But guess what....I think I'll want to. I really like it. I also really like the hair cut she gave me. I had just asked her to thin it out a bit (I have freakishly course and thick hair) but she decided to give me side swept bangs. It turned out better than I expected.
