Color Me Red

Back in February of 2010...

...I chopped off 8 inches of hair

for the Pink Heart Fund.

(Click HERE to read more...)

After letting it grow for over a year...

...I did it AGAIN.

(A little side note:

I DID FINALLY mail off my hair 

to the Pink Heart Fund-

both pony tails...)

Can you see a pattern here in my hair care?

I would say I am rather low maintenance

in the hair care department.

I don't get it cut often,

since I can trim my own bangs.

Today,

I am trying something new.

I decided to get my hair-

COLORED.

*GASP*

I have also not had a hair cut in about 

a year and nine months.

(I decided to keep some length this time,

so I didn't have enough chopped off to donate,

but I figured that's OK,

since I have donated twice in the past...)

It is sad-

I know.

I just don't have a lot of time or money

to spend on myself that way,

and I am naturally blessed with nice hair.

I can let it go like this and still make it look nice-

when I NEED to-

which is usually about once a week.

But I have noticed these little grey hairs poppin' up

all over the front of my head-

and I don't like it.

So I headed to the 

Aveda Institute of Knoxville 

and let a lovely student named Anna

color and cut my locks...

...and I am THRILLED with the results.

It is simple and sleek...

...with a healthy, natural looking color to boot!

I just MIGHT try to fix it up more often now...

...maybe even up my "pretty hair days"

from one to two a week-

Ooooooooo....  ;0)
