I bit the bullet and did it

I am currently covered in hair dye. It stings a little.

[MrsAxilla]

Yay! You know we demand pics, right?

[omgzombies]

Woohoo! I'm sure it will look fabulous!

[tacosforlife]

OMG. I love it. $136 for cut and color, including tip. That would've been $200 in DC. Yet another reason Midwest is best!

[MrsAxilla]

Pics or it didn't happen.

Pics!  We need pics!

I don't think I can blur out my face right now. Sorry!

OMG. My husband is legit disappointed in me. I previously resisted coloring my hair because I see telling women that they have to hide signs of aging as an arm of the patriarchy. He wanted me to gray naturally.

I think we have crossed over to where he's more feminist than me. LOL.

Crock of shit. You can grow old gracefully AND dye your hair. Not mutually exclusive. Tell him don't hate just 'cause you're hot as hell, with or without fabulous hair.

LOL. I don't think he cares that much. But yes, the patriarchy and aging are just standard breakfast conversation in our house.

LOL!  Tell him you'll start fighting the patriarchy by not giving a shit what he thinks about it  .

Maybe you're the better feminist b/c you understand the complexities of being a real life feminist in everyday society and not just the theoreticals. 

[wawa]

can't you take a hair only pic? Like 3/4 rear-view so it's all hair and no face beyond the edge of some chin and maybe the tip of your nose?

[ringstrue]

Whatever. If HRC still dyes then us young'uns still can too.

[tacosforlife]

The Cousin It version. LOL. 

[wawa]

very nice! all glossy and brown.

I think I'm going to do copper highlights in 3 months since it will be right before we go to the beach. This from someone who rarely gets her hair cut more than once every six months and once even went an entire year without a cut. OMG WHO AM I?

[omgzombies]

That color is gorgeous.
