Until last week, I never colored my hair. OK, that's not entirely true. Back when I was 15, I used a whole lot of Sun-In and had some nasty results. That wretched orange incident aside, I've never had the guts to go for it. As someone who swears that short hair would make her look like a chubby oompa loompa (face shape, no bueno) -- I've been having a hard time lately because I've been dying for a change. You've been there, right? Wanting a change but too nervous to go for it? Well, when the opportunity came up for me to get colored for the first time at Red Door Spa, I couldn't refuse. The goal? Ombre natural-looking highlights. Let me tell you: I was a MESS of nerves. I went in continually telling myself, "If this sucks, I can just dye it back." I sat in the chair covered with white goo and pieces of cotton hoping that whatever was going on with my strands wasn't gonna make me look like a mutant. Well let me tell you: This is the best thing I've ever done for myself. I mean it.![]()
