I started coloring my hair when I started beauty school back in 85. We used to use that fancifull stuff that washed out,so you could have a different color everyday. I used to be all blonde, then quit with that and went natural with a few highlights. Last year I decided to try red, more of a redish brown with gold/blonde highlights and I loved it, but red fades too fast and it was costing me a fortune to keep it up. So I decided to just let it fade out and went and bought color and started doing it myself, starting with low lights to help blend the faded red. I'm going this weekend to get stuff to put some more hightlights, they've grown out and I don't like all one color in my hair. So if someone was to ask me what color my hair is right now, well, it's a combination of several colors.
