Why Dyeing My Hair Was The Best Thing I Have Ever Done

Getting rose gold hair!

Why Dyeing My Hair Was The Best Thing I Have Ever Done
Veronica Castellano

After months and months of torturing my parents, I finally was able to dye my hair. Granted I got my hair painted more blonde in the summer, but this is the first time I made a big change.

I went to a consult with my stylist and she loved my idea. I showed her three different colors of this "rose gold" idea that I found on Pinterest. She asked if I wanted an appointment right away and I excitedly said yes.

A week later, I walked in right after school in the middle of the week. No one knew I was dying my hair except a few people who I don't go to school with. I walked in and I was the most excited I have been in a while. Even though I wanted more rose gold than brown, I needed my hair to be more on the natural side for school. As I walked in, I was sent to the seat right away. My hair stylist was all ready to go! She was just as excited as I was.

I had to sit in the chair for the longest time waiting for her to mix the best colors that will create the color we were hoping for. Even though it took a long time, it was completely worth it. After the wait was over, we got right to my hair. She started with darkening my roots, and midway down my hair she added a different dye.

The process did not take long, the longest parts were when she was choosing the colors, and after the dye was applied and I needed it to sink into my hair. After watching her add all of these different colors to my hair, this was the product before it was washed out.

I was ecstatic with the outcome of my hair, and it wasn't even finished yet! I was not allowed to move my head for what felt like the longest time. I had to sit like a statue while attempting to talk to my friend, Caroline, who came along to keep me company. Once the waiting was done and my hair was washed, it got blowdried. I was so confused at first because my hair changed colors in different lights! In some photos, it seems like a deep dark brown.

Other times my hair looks close to what it was before.

My favorite part, is in almost every light, there is a reflection of either pink or purple in my hair.

I am completely and utterly in love with my hair. Even if it looked darker than normal and there is not much of the pink reflection, this change is a good one. I definitely love darker hair on me, despite the fact that most people try to change their hair to become blonde. I hope to keep this hair throughout the year and have it become a part of who I am.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.
