I've set the date.

 

Have I shown you guys this picture before?  I can't remember.  I've been looking at it so much lately because I've decided to take the plunge...  I'm goin' ginger!!

Eeeep!

I got my haircut on Saturday and decided to leave it up to ma hair lady and her reaction.  Though, the more I think about it the more I realize that's kinda a ridiculous way to do it -- of course she'd be on board, more money for her, right?!  But, for reals, I trust her.  And she seemed super pumped, which only made me more excited.

So, first things first.  I've gotta wrap my brain around the fact that I AM NOT going to look like Christina Hendricks once I'm done.  Talk about a let down.  Secondly, I'm hoping/planning to go more of a natural route, as opposed to emo or hipster (but frankly, with bangs and an obviously dyed color I'm already farther down the yellow brick road to hipsterville than I'd like to admit).

Think copper with strawberry blonde highlights for depth.  Just like my girl crush, the Magpie Girl, who got this ball rolling in the first place.

Now, please deal with me inevitably holding my breath for the next two weeks.  And, Dear God, please let me not be one of those annoying girls from America's Next Top Model that loses it post-haircut.

There is no crying in hair dying.
