The other night I was telling Bryce about that, how I've always kind of wanted to try red. He said, "You should get some red hair color and buy a box of brown too, then if you don't like the red, you can just color it back to brown." Seriously, it had never occurred to me to do that. I knew I could color it back if I didn't like it, but I always kind of thought I'd have to go to the store with my ugly color on my head to buy a new box to fix it.
Anyway, yesterday I was at the store with my 3 youngest kids, and since I was over by that section anyway, I stopped to look at the hair color. I picked up the box of red and asked them if I should color my hair red. Daniel got really excited and said I should, so I decided I could go ahead and buy a box. I picked up a box of brown too, just in case.
Then I got home and debated for a couple of hours if I really wanted to try it. I don't know why it made me so nervous to try. Maybe it's because I've never colored my own hair, and red is a bolder color and isn't quite the same thing as highlights, where most of my hair is still its original color.
Then I finally decided to jump in and do it. My kids were fascinated watching me, and kept coming back to check on me and see what was going on. So far I like it. It's not that much different, so more subtle. Ben and Alex didn't even notice until I asked them if they thought my hair looked different.
So anyway, here are a few pictures I took to show what my hair looks like:

My computer must have something wrong with its color cause I can't tell any difference. You look cute anyway - how do YOU like it? Did Bryce notice? Are you going to keep it?
It's hard to tell the difference in pictures, and a lot of times it still looks brown when I look in the mirror until I get in more light. I do like it, but am still getting used to it. Sometimes I feel like I'm dressing up for Halloween.
Bryce did notice and says it looks good.
I'll keep it like this for a bit, but I don't know how long.
