When I realized how long my roots had gotten, I thought I would just dye.

black hair in a bottle

Wake up! Time to dye!

You know it's time to fix this when my natural hair no longer matches my clip-in extensions. That just looks so ghetto.

I get a lot of gray in my temples. This would be fine if it were MORE gray, like big fancy streaks of it. This is not how it works.

My mom has salt-and-pepper hair. Thanks, Mom. :P

basting my head

soaking it in

That crazy widow's peak? Yes, that is my natural hairline. I've been getting stupid questions about it all my life. No thanks with the Eddie Munster/Elvira/Morticia references, cuz I've heard them all before.

stained

As you can see, this is the washcloth I usually use to wipe excess dye off my skin after I've washed it out of my hair.

blotchy

Yay, blotches of dye and red scrubbing marks! I mostly just slap the dye on the back of my neck and hope I color more hair than skin.

And now I look just like her!
