Gripe Of the Day- Highlights

My hair is originally blonde- dirty blonde. One summer I literally spent all day every day outside at the beach- not only did this make people question my race- it bleached out my hair. Since then I have had to get my hair highlighted because when it grew out in the fall and I had a two tone head of hair it just seemed necessary. Now I find that I have to get my hair highlighted every 6 weeks or so. But here's the cycle- my hair cut doesn't really sit right for the first week, middle of the second week to the fourth week my hair looks good- the color, the cut, everything. Fifth week we are really starting to run into the roots coming out and showing their ugly head! Then it just gets worse from there- hair continues to grow out, darker and darker roots- can't wear pretty lady poofs, cant' put my hair put without the roots smacking people's eyes in the face, can't wear it half-up or tease it because then I have a crown of roots on my head.

So- all in all- every month and a half or so I am spending 90dollars on my hair that looks the way I want it to look for a week and a half or so.

I made the mistake of going too short- so now everytime I go I am like, "just literally pretend you are cutting my hair so I feel like I am trimming it." Just so I can grow it out longer-
DAMN HAIR!
