On My Previous Addiction
I used to have a pretty serious addiction. It was out of control - I couldn't stop myself from going back to it. It was at its worst October 2007 and after that I realized I needed to do something about it. I needed to be free! I have been clean ever since.
So what was my addiction? Dying my hair. It started early in high school with highlights. And then by the end of high school, I was dying my hair a different color every couple of months. My hair has been dark brown, auburn, red, honey blonde, platinum blonde, black...you get the picture. In October 2007 I dyed my hair 3 times in the time frame of one month, and then I realized I just needed to quit. I am proud to say that I have not colored my hair since October 2007 and my hair is 100% its natural color...
...but sometimes, I REALLY REALLY WANT to dye it. I really like having dark hair. I think it's really pretty. I think it's FUN to change my hair color, and dark brown is my favorite flavor. Every time I am tempted to dye my hair again, I have to remind myself what a long process it is to get my hair to stay that color (I usually buy dye from HEB...L'Oreal I think...and it fades or washes out after a few days/weeks) or how hard it is to get my hair back to normal again when I get tired of the dark brown.
But this time, despite all the reminders....I still really REALLY want to dye my hair.
But I'm going to stay strong!!!...???
