To the Dark Side

I just finished reading Amy Astley's interview with 

Into the Gloss about her recent decision to forego 

the ball and chain that is HIGHLIGHTING. God, I am so

 sick of HIGHLIGHTING. For years I have dutifully appeared

at my salon every 10-12 weeks and sat for hours burning 

my scalp to feign Swedish descent. But no more. I'm officially

declaring myself done.* This is huge for me. I once stopped

speaking to my dad after he wrote I was brunette on my passport

application in middle school. I'm feeling inspired by 

the roots these ladies are rocking.

*I maintain the right to revoke this statement as soon as

my roots grow out long enough for me to see my real

hair color for the first time in 10 years. 

I imagine it might feel something like this.
