Miguel, I saved you $150.00

I saved $150.00 by dying my own hair! And hopefully this will also save me $150.00 every three months! As I posted a while back, I got sick of always having roots so I went back to being a brunette. I liked the color a lot, but it was still lighter than my natural color. So, today, I literally went back to my roots. This will also make my husband happy because it means less money out of our wallets every couple of months. 

Beautiful, I know. ;) Waiting for the color to soak in.

I've dyed my own hair before, but it never turns out right, so it was a risky move to attempt it on my own again. However, I think when I've done it before, I didn't like it more because it was the shock of going from really blonde to a dark brunette.

I bought an $8.00 box of hair color from Loréal Paris. I didn't take time picking out the brand, I just chose it because the color on the model looked like the color of my roots.


I think it turned out alright. Not too blotchy or anything. I'll try and take a picture with make-up on and my hair all done nicely so I can post one without looking ghostly pale and splotchy... but not today... I don't want to straighten my hair right after I colored it. We'll see if Miguel notices when he gets home....

With the mixture in my hair... waiting for 25 minutes
The color after I rinsed it out and it was still wet

Ta-Da! It's not as dark as it is in the picture on the box, but  I'm satisfied. =) Hopefully it won't fade too quickly!
