If you're someone who dyes their hair as often as I do, there are a few things that you always know to be true, and a lot of exciting things that you do that other people aren't used to.

1. The smell of chemicals doesn't affect you as much as others

You're so used to the ammonia smell of hair dye that nothing affects you anymore (probably bad).

2. You're used to cold showers so the dye won't wash out

"I'm gonna go cry in my ice shower now just give me a minute".

3. Despite this, you're also used to turning your whole shower whatever color you've elected to dye your hair this time

My shower has been blue for a week.

4. Your friends and family wonder how you have any hair left

5. You wonder how you have any hair left

6. Your ID/license/passport photos actually look nothing like you

*Please believe that that's me*

7. You tire of a hair color within a few months

You: so, what color should I do next?

The group chat: collective exasperation

8. You forget you used to have [insert color] hair

"Oh wow remember that that's when you were still blonde"

9. Your hair products are default fancy and expensive so your hair stays nice

Excuse my wallet crying while I spend $25 on a single bottle of shampoo.

10. Roots. The true bane of your existence.

JUST GROW OUT IN THE FAKE COLOR CLEARLY I DON'T WANT YOU, HAIR-COLOR-I-WAS-BORN-WITH!!
