I guess I really didn't want to change at all. I felt, as Falls said, seduced into it by my therapist. When I told him that I didn't want to color my hair, he said that I have a tendency to reject all of his suggestions. So, wanting to please him, I decided to spend money I didn't really have to give it a try. Now I'm going to have to spend more money that I don't really have to fix it. You'd think when you went to a salon with a very good local reputation, and all are agreed that the intended result is to end up with hair that is lighter than you started with, you wouldn't have to worry about ending up with hair that his darker than your natural color. (And I verified that with an independent observer - my husband. He agrees that my natural hair color has always been lighter than my brows in the twentyfive years he knew me, and it is now darker.)
The funny thing is that, objectively speaking, my hair looks pretty good dark. With my olive complexion, light eyes, and dark brows, the dark hair looks interesting and exotic (or as interesting and exotic as a fat plain female can be).
But I'm not interesting and exotic. That's not who I want to see when I look in the mirror. When I look in the mirror I want to see the me I see in my minds eye.
