What’s Wrong With Being A Brunette?

So I’m browsing one of my way too many magazines the other day and see an ad that offends me. It’s a L’oreal ad touting their hair color for blondes. So what makes a blonde so freaking special? Why act like everyone wants to be blonde? I’m not knocking blondes, but I don’t wanna be blonde. I just think it is ridiculous to act like one hair color is better than another. Sorry, but blondes are really not better than brunettes and vice versa.

The ad shows all these famous blondes, who were obviously brunettes previously. I color my hair. Why? To cover my gray. Not to stop being a brunette. And there is nothing wrong with gray hair either. If mine looked right, I’d let it go gray. But it isn’t quite right. It’s not gray enough to go gray yet. So I’m coloring it back to something semi-natural for me until it gets to a decent looking gray.

I just don’t get the whole idea that blondes are better. I am sure most of us have heard the phrases before such as “blondes have more fun” and such. There was even a movie called “Gentlemen Prefer Blondes”. I dunno. Not sure I really agree with this. Then again, I’m single now.

Just a thought…

I Forgot What Color My Hair Is

After so many years of coloring my hair I forgot what my natural hair color really is. I mean, I knew it was brown. I just didn’t realize how dark. I’ve had reddish-brown, coffee-brown, golden-brown, and every other shade in between. So with all those colorings I lost track of my real hair color. So the other day my cousin posted a picture of my father and I when I was like 14. I had dark hair! The picture made it look almost black. It was never quite that dark, but still…

Above is the pic of me and my Daddy back in the day. See? I had dark hair! (BTW, I sure do miss my Daddy!)

This is more of the color I have now. You can see that it is a bit lighter. I mean, it sure isn’t blonde or anything, but it isn’t as dark as that other picture.

It amazes me how I forgot how dark my hair was. I guess you just forget when you keep changing it. Or the color seeps into your roots and affects your brain. Either way, I forgot!
