went back to my roots today!!

so--I have medium/dark brown hair. highlighted in my 20s until it got too blonde and went natural (back to my own color) in my 30's--also wanted to avoid any color during pregancies. 2 years ago-after last child was born--went back to blondish/golden highlights since I was bored. I wasn't crazy about it- but at 38 was getting a few greys and the highlights masked it adn it seemed everyone was going lighter as they aged....

my DH confessed he liked my 'dark' look better last night. So--even though it's spring---I took it back to my roots today and I AM LOVING IT!! I have blue eyes and light skin in the winter/but tan easily in the summer. The dark color brings out my eyes again and makes my face less washed-out.

i am 40 so thought it would age me-but did the reverse. I look much younger...my hairdresser was going crazy over it..I he gave me a weird look when I told him this morning what I wanted to do but he went nuts when he saw the outcome.

I felt like just another one of those 'non-descript' women with blondish mousy highlights...now I feel exotic-ha!

I did that too, a few years ago. Love it. I like my hair dark. It looks shiny and it is the best look for me. Too many women get washed out trying to look blonde. Its not for everyone.

For some reason--it seems I have to re-learn this lesson every 5 or so years! I should learn to stick with what works best for me.

I went natural when I got pregnant with my first child and I won't go back. Sometimes I think I should highlight, but then I see pictures of me before and think I looked ridiculous. While I have a few gray streaks, my hair has a lot more luster than it ever did when highlighted. I think it goes perfectly with my skin (as it should!)

Further to this, I had been overseas when I went natural. When I came back, my beloved hairdresser exclaimed, "Thank god you got that awful blond off your hair."
