Did I mention I am now a red head?

I took the plunge and dyed my hair dark auburn. I have been wanting to take this bold move for awhile and my over-bleached hair kind of made the decision for me.
I had been cheating on my (amazingly beautiful and talented) colorest with a box of do-it-yourself brass blond in a box.
I then kicked things up another notch and had my cousin highlight the brass away. A midnight trip to Meijer, a cap and bleach, and a bottle box of wine and we were set.
And that was the night my hair died.
So a month or so later as I stood looking at the monstrosity my hair had become, and I had to make a decision. No way could I highlight it because I was already platinum. My brittle hair was screaming for a color deposit and so I said “what the hell”.
What I have learned about myself is 1) I really need to stop being cheap and 2) I can not believe how much of my identity I wrap up into my blond hair. I am not sure if the latter is good or bad or what. I just know–that while this is spicy little way to change things up–I am already mourning my blond.

Isn’t it fun to change your hair color? You are braver than I, however, in doing it yourself. I did that once and ended up with orange streaks in my hair. Now, it’s salon or nothing. Post a picture.
