According to Jessica: Article 6, "Heading to the Dark Side"

So, what is it with being blonde and pondering going dark all of a sudden? As a girl who is prone to change, my hair colour is something which I love to experiment with. My poor locks have had the joy of being various different colours, from blonde to even an unfortunate black during my younger teenage years. It's been every shade in between, sometimes with a slightly orange hue when really I wanted to be the perfect honey blonde. It makes you realize that hair colour really does make such a difference to how we feel. After a trip at the hairdressers we (usually) come out feeling refreshed. A break up, a new job, a holiday or just the general feeling of wanting change are all things which prompt us to dye our hair that one shade lighter, or darker depending.


But for something that can make us feel oh-so-good about ourselves, it's surprising how the slightest mishap can make us feel slightly suicidal. Many a times I've chosen a gorgeous chestnut colour for it only to come out blotchy and black, a perfect example of home dye gone wrong. The hairdressers don't always get it right either, with me wanting subtle blonde highlights and coming out with a block-red colour in a shade that just did not work for my skin tone.

 What works for one person does not always work or another! So will us ladies ever be content with our hair colour? I slightly envy anybody who has never felt the need to play with dye, but then again, I'd feel like I was missing out on all the fun.

The fact is, it's only hair at the end of the day. We can cut it, dye it, and put our poor locks through the mill but it will always grow back ready for more damage. For many of us, our hair time line tells an interesting story that can be shared with friends alike. Something which we can look back and laugh about, and know that we will have many more exciting hair styles and colours to come in our lifetime.

For me, personally, my hair colour changes with my mood. I love being blonde. I love being dark. Is it true blondes have more fun? No. Is it true hair colour can change your mood, make you more confident, and make you shine? Yes.

So at the end of the day, it's all about how you feel. It's not about the colour. Half the year I may feel like being a fun bubbly blonde, and the other have a gorgeous, spontaneous brunette. Change is constant and it doesn't stop at my hair!
