One week later....

One week later after going back to my natural color... I am learning to cope ha! Let me just say that it was a very traumatic experience for me to have that drastic of a change, and I think I am just realizing that. I am still not "in love" with my hair like I was with the blonde, but it is growing on me. It is funny b/c now I find myself looking for different colors of clothes to wear b.c they look so much different with the brown :)

I definitely got some funny comments as I saw people for the first time as the "new me". Of course I see tons of people everyday at work and so once they came back in several would walk right past my office and ask the front desk where I was, because they didnt think it was me ha! I have deemed the nickname "brownie" now... and of course that is better than it could have been ha! My trip home this past weekend was very nerve racking to see how those closest to me were going to react. I think my Potts had the funniest comment about it, "Well you just look weird honey," he said :) My Mimi and mom both said that it looked like I had a wig on, but once they got used to it they liked it. *** Oh and I had not told ANYONE in my family about the change so none of them had any warning!!! My dad was so sweet, saying that it made him want to cry seeing me back to the natural, and James said he thought I was my sister. Rachel and I do look more alike now thats for sure... and thats a good thing :)

All and all, I am just pleased that I dont have orange hair anymore ha! I have decided to keep it just the way it is for now, but I am not making any promises that you wont see some sort of highlights in the future :) I still can look at these very pictures now and wonder who the heck that woman is hahaha!

Just look at it this way.....now would be a good time to have a baby since you're already natural and you wouldn't have to worry about those roots showing!! :o)

I think it looks great!
