Today I saw the reason why girls should not dye their hair blonde. A girl I saw in the hall has the most horrible hair colour. It's almost a little orangey, and goes terribly with her skin tone. And it was pulled back and greasy looking, kind of like those playschool wives that come with the dollhouses (I did always want one).

I now have a newfound appreciation for my hair, and the colour(s) that it is. And it's remarkably soft for everything that it's undergone - dying, blow drying, straightening, the works. In the end I hope it doesn't fall out. Although I do still want to cut it short again and dye it bright red. I've been told repeatedly that I could pull it off, but with my personality I think I can pull off pretty much anything. Doesn't mean I should, though. I think I have to wait for a very strong impulse.
