Friends, I am a brunette now. On purpose. That's right. No more blonde.
It was somewhat planned in that I only let myself think about it for a week (otherwise, I would have talked myself out of it), and spontaneous in that I only thought about it for a week (that’s spontaneous for me)! It’s the bravest thing I’ve ever done (yep, skydiving comes in 2nd).
It's kind of sad when I think about it. I mean, how can I be a Baskin (maiden name) if I don't have blonde hair? Everyone (I mean EVERYONE) in my family has blonde hair and blue eyes. It's the Baskin look. I was a blonde my whole life and never had to highlight my hair until I was 22. Even then, it didn't take much for the sun to do it's thing and naturally highlight my hair. Over the years, though, it has become darker (mousey, if you will) and I just got so tired of keeping up with the highlights. And let's be honest--I have a ton of hair, and it became a burden to get my hair done, and that's supposed to be relaxing!
I still don't recognize the girl in the mirror, but I like my new look. It's a bit darker than I wanted, but that's ok. I plan to just let my [new] natural color grow into it.
Sorry for the poor quality photo. It's the only one I have so far.
