"Hair ye, hair ye!"

I consider hair to be a form of art. I try really hard to take good care of my own and am constantly in search of that perfect blend of colors for me. The kind of hair that makes you look good even when you are sick and bloated. The kind of hair that people walk up to you and ask how you do it or where you get it done so they can get it too. It it is my mini obsession. Poor Jonathon has to hear about it all the time and I know that is such an un-manly topic for such a manly man! So, here I am letting it all out in the blog so that I can give Jonathon's ear a break.

I've felt for awhile now that I'd like to go to a more natural-looking 'do. I attempted it a few months ago and still regret going to a hair school to try it. I ended up spending 6 hours there just trying to get it back to a blonde that would look OK. That was when I vowed to never go to a school for certain things again, a weave being one of them. Anyway, I think I'd enjoy having a lighter brunette color with even lighter color in the front around the face.

I don't think blonde necessarily looks BAD on me. In fact, most of the time I love it! Jonathon especially loves it. Not because it's the blonde stereotype. Actually, when we first started dating, I had blonde hair and he asked me to dye it brown. So wanting to try out something new anyway, I did. And it was okay and all, but we both were excited for me to get back to blonde! Jonathon says the brown just didn't fit my personality. It didn't do anything for me. The blonde was just happy and cute.

So I think I've decided that I'm going to try to get the perfect blonde once more. I was at Costco and I saw a lady walk by with what I thought was a beautiful head of hair. I decided I'll ask her where she got it done and tell them to do the exact same thing. I've tried showing many pictures and describing it every way I can, and it never seems to come out the way I'd like. Maybe I have this idea in my head that is just unrealistic. Or that if the hair style turned out right, it'd also make me lose 5 pounds, make the gaps in my teeth close up, and make my boobs grow too! I hope this turns out well though. I'd like to finish just one time at a salon and say "It's perfect-I love it!" And I'm very hopeful that this will be the time.

Now, if this is not the way it goes, it's okay. Plan B is to keep the look for summer (it's alright to be blonde in the summer anyway!) and force myself to try out the natural brunette look again. I feel like I LOOK better with blonde hair and it's fun and bubbly, but I feel like I FEEL better with brunette. I don't like blonde hair to try and fit the barbie mold. And that is probably the reason I would like to think I'd like brunette better. Dang molds. It is also my dream to be what I like to call a "granola" someday. Many of these granolas live up in the Northwest. They eat organic food and plant gardens and go biking. Typically, they don't have blonde hair! So, I got a few years before we move up there to work on it. :)

Okay, I know this doesn't make any difference to other people and it probably seems strange that someone can write this much about their hair. I could probably write ten times this, honest! It's on my mind constantly.

Now it is on this page.
