Little Red Riding Hood
I decided I was craving a walk on the wild side, but being the tame person that I am temporary hair dye was the only answer I could come up with. Jennifer helped me use an at home dye kit to go auburn red this weekend. She was a really good sport about it. Jenn kept worrying that she might mess it up, so I tried to reassure her that if it didn't turn out right I'd just go the hair salon and get it fixed...no big deal (I need a haircut anyway). Jenn may have missed her calling, because the results are subtle and rather natural looking.
It will only last for 6-8 shampoos, so I shrugged my shoulders and decided that I'd always wanted to go red. I think if I try this again I might double the time and try to go a bit darker since I've been enjoying the color so much. It's probably not anything I would want to do permanently, but I've really been having fun with it. Who knows what's next? If I could find a spray in color, I might even try dying one small strand of hair pink (like a quarter inch strand).

The hair looks good honey! People in my family must have a natural talent for hair dying. When I went blond several years back anyone who didn't know I'd done it myself assumed that I'd had it professionally done.
Go a little deeper red, have them throw in a purple highlight or two and you'll be all set to go on tour! Or you could go the other direction: have them lighten your hair to a hot pink and then hang around the beauty salon and tell people that you'll be their style consultant today.
I'm convinced that's how the stylist on 10 Years Younger got her job.
