I dyed my hair last night. It seemed like the next couple months might be the best time for hair experiments for a long time.... I think eventually I'll have to look normal again, before attempting to get hired or whatever. I was going for a slightly redder look, but of course it looks nothing like it did on the box and I ended up with much ( Read more... )
