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.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.
