How I did it: I decided to give my hair a break from all of the crazy colours I had dyed it in previous years when I started dating my boyfriend. I don't think he even noticed that my hair was no longer Chocolate Cherry. It took a long time to grow out the coloured part and I have seen a lot of my hair hit the floor of the salon, but I think it was a good choice. Someday my hair will start to turn grey and I'll go back to the bottle.

Lessons & tips: When I went from black to blonde it was easiest to chop most of it off, so the same is true in this case. It will take less time to get all of your hair to one colour if there is less of it to grow out. However, if you are like me you never want to have short hair again then you might try putting on a colour that matches your natural one and go from there. I just quit cold turkey and didn't worry about roots.

Resources: I'm sure their are beauty experts out there with better advice than just let it grow out, but that's all I did.
