My first hair color experience kind of well...was bad. I was at this party and to make a long story short I woke up with bleached blond hair!! My hair is reddish brown naturally and it looks good on me so imagine my suprise at being a bleachead! To cover it *I looked like a total dork* I wet with blue, then with bright red, then I had it colored to a close aproximation to my natural color. The hubby after a while convinced me to go with burgundy. *which really accents my hair well* Its also so close to my hair color that when it grows out you can't notice unless you really inspect closely. I think I might just grow it out again though, hair dye burns my head something terbile and I always end up itchy. Might streak bleach it and add wierd colors if the boss will let me though
