it says, “Don’t worry if you don’t get desired color result”

Shaun and I shot a birthday party for an 80 year old man this weekend. I hope when I am his age I am surrounded by the wonderfully colorful people he has in his life.

As I was getting ready I decided that I should straighten my hair and that is when I noticed the 2 inches of roots I had totally not even noticed. I tried to remember the last time I had my hair done and it was exactly a week before the wedding…It’s been two months!

When we downloaded the pictures from the shoot, Shaun showed me one he captured of me trying to get a screaming child to be quiet and eat his food by taking his picture and then showing him the picture saying, “Look at you! You’re in my camera!!” I actually like the picture because it shows ME as the person I am…but holy crap, THE ROOTS!

So I rushed out, called my sister and talked her about what color I should get. After about 15 minutes of back and forth of ‘should I get this one or this one?’ I finally picked one knowing that no matter how bad I did, my sister could always fix it.

Yeah, she’ll be fixing it.

    The photo of you and the little boy is adorable. What a great smile.

    I really like your new color.

    I think the new hair looks good. It seems even at least – mine always would out blotchy (because I’m cheap and never would buy the 2 boxes I need). Haven’t dyed my hair in over a year now though – because of the wedding… and now I just haven’t.

    Both pictures of you are cute though. Forget about the roots. Your hair grows that much in two months? Mine doesn’t grow half that much!

    RSG said I’m a hottie. *blush*

    I don’t know if Red Heads have more fun, it’s only been a few hours.

    I think it looks pretty. You gotta do what works for YOU, though.

    At first, when I saw the pic of you and the little boy, I thought that this was a pic of you coloring your hair. Oy, you did have some roots. Easy solution, don’t style your hair like that but I know you were ready for a change.

    Red, Hot, Fiery Woman!!

    I like it, but I’m partial to redheads. I’ve been red for about 10 years now…ssshhh!!

    You always look hot, baby! Love the new color. Makes you look younger. Give it a couple days to grow on you. I bet you won’t want to fix it.

    I will trade you your red tresses for my more salt than pepper do.

    GIRL!!! Keep the red. You look HOT!!! Shawn’s going to feel like he’s with a different woman. It’s been a few weeks now…this can spice up the old marriage. LOL

    Keep the red. My husbands hair dresser – yes he goes to a salon – said that women are not risky enough with their hair – that we all want to look the same. He said this to me as I am contemplating going short – keep the red it will inspire me to go short. I will make my final decision on 9/16…..

    You look hawt in that last picture!

    Roots are the reason I don’t change my haircolour. I was on that treadmill and it was such a hassle. Once I let it go, I got to like my mouse brown natural colour. It’s dull, but it’s me. It costs less too.

    I like the photo of you and the little guy too.
