I have been dying my hair since I was in 7th grade, and really want to stop. It’s sooo hard because I love blonde hair. If I try and grow it out without dying it my roots will be soo bad. I know I can do it, I’m just going to have to not care so much about the way I look I guess.

How I did it: My hair was dyed a light blonde color and my natural hair color is an ashy brown with minimal natural highlights. I cut all my blonde hair really short (I looked like Princess Diana) and then proceeded to grow out my roots, when my natural hair color had grown to be about an inch and a half to two inches I cut all the rest of the bleach blonde strands off. I then had pixie cut brown hair and while that looks good on some, it was the mos… Read how I did it…

How I did it: When it came time to dye my hair as I usually did, I didn't even go near the dye, I just went to the store and got a trim to cut off all the damage that hair dye has caused me over the last 10 years. With each cut over time more and more it became MY own hair, instead of what I dyed it to look like. The dye was darker than my original color so overtime it just started to blend in. You really cant even tell that I used to dye it before. Read how I did it…

How I did it: It was the summer before 7th grade, and I dyed my hair bright red. This was after bleaching it, of course. That day began my hair dying phase (a five year phase). My hair has been blonde, red (unnatural and "natural"), black, blue, pink, green, brown, and faded versions of the aforementioned. Last year, I realized that my hair was damaged beyond belief. Before that, I thought my hair wasn't damaged because it was so soft. By the way, soft… Read how I did it…

I’ve been dying my hair since I was about 12. So many different colours and such. These last few years I was dying them black. My hair got very damaged and it’s falling out quite a lot. So since about 6 months I’ve been letting my real hair (which is blonde) grow back. The blonde part feels so soft and shiny! And I kept thinking the colour was ugly when it really is pretty!
It takes a long time though and it’s only about 3½-4 inches long… Have to be patient! _
I get in this vicious cycle of dying my hair. My hair is to my waist and I want to dye the red out so it’s my natural hair color, but that will start the matching roots vicious cycle again.

ive been dying my hair nonstop since 7th grade. this hasnt been the healthiest thing for my hair. it used to be that my hair was curly and non frizzy, but now its naturally a wavy frizzy mess. im also getting tired of dying my hair constantly. i dont want to have to dye my hair anymore because my roots are growing in. this being said i am going to go back to my natural color and stop dying my hair. this is hard because im a hair dye addict, but i know i can do it. my hair color is dyed very closely to my natural color and my bangs are still pink, but that will be trimmed off eventually.
Can you find Nemo? Delaglace can ;P Wants hugs.
I’d say I’m gonne give this up. Once in every 3 years should’nt be bad….
And I like to experiment :(.
I miss bright multicolored unique hair.
I miss being like only asian with say, pink hair at our school (stuffed so full of asians).
Yep.

My hair is reddy-brown naturally, its been black, purple, red, blonde, pink, blue, orange, black again, natural for a bit and then black again. Now Im fed up with black, my hair is really fine, so i want to stop damaging it and using horrible chemicals.
Plus I quite like my natural colour, I think i was just bored….
has been just about every color. It started when my mother told me she always wished she was blonde when she was little (she’s a redhead) and suggested I dye mine. Now its been just about every color. I just had it dyed about 3 weeks ago to a red-brown. I think I will dye it one more time to a light brown, and then just let my natural hair color grow in.
Tropicana Hana Has become a RADIANT RED HEAD and looks so good ♡
I look good with almost any hair color so why should I have to live with just one?
I like my hair peach hair color as of now. So when those darn brown roots start to show I’m gonna f’in color them peach – until I’m in the mood for something different.
And I read this book – it’s called Blonde like me. And it’s amazingly insightful and familiar. I recommend it to all blondes (born or boxed).
kateland is so glad school's done.
i had freakin’ shampoo commercial hair all my life, then i dyed it little mermaid red when i was 12, which led to black, which led to bleach-and-red, which led to more black, which led to about every shade of red in history… then back to brown.. then i finally quit and let my hair grow some, and the other day i bleached the bottom layers
now it’s impossible to manage and completely dry. which sucks.
