Brightening up the Dreary Days

dyedhair1It’s January, and in Salt Lake City that means colder air trapped in the valleys by high pressure areas leaving us stewing in our own pollution juices, as it were. A 10 minute drive up one of the many surrounding canyons would reveal sunny skies and warmer temperatures, but down here in the valley the air is thick with gunk and the sun won’t shine through the inversion.

So, what is a color-starved girl to do aside from dreaming of her future garden? Well, I dyed my hair. Not all of it, just a little bit. This is the first time I’ve done anything remotely like this, but I finally have a hair stylist that I trust, so I let her bleach and dye away (my hair is dark enough that it won’t really take dye without a bleaching first, which is why I’ve never done it before).

dyedhair2When my hair is down it peeks out just a bit, but when it’s pulled up it shows much more brightly. The color changes a bit with the light. Sometimes it’s much more purple and sometimes it’s quite pink.

My inner goth girl is sooo happy! I have purple hair and black fingernails and I wear leather boots every day 🙂 It’s also just in time for a trip to Southern California, where TNNA awaits.

I love it!
