Gentlemen Prefer Blondes...

So, yeah, I did it... For two years I have telling my stylist, (who after spending all day with me and my bridesmaids on my wedding day earned her nickname, Spritzy) to make me as blonde as she possibly could. I was on a mission, my Blonde Ambition tour, as I called it. I wanted to be blonde, blonde, blonde for the wedding. So blonde that you may need shades to look at my blonde hair. And truth be told, I got it. People that I hadn't seen in a while at the wedding were saying to me, "this is the blondest I have ever seen you!" Ahhhh, music to my ears. So then why did I feel compelled last week to ruin what I had worked so hard to build up? I don't know, call it my version of the "wife chop" (think Katie Holmes-Cruise post wedding) where girls cut their hair really short immediately after getting hitched. Me, I added low lights, and bangs. Ummkay. Did I fall victim to the Reese bangs? (which I am sure every stylist in this country loathes... She comes out one day with short side-swept bangs and for some reason, we all think we can do it.) Let me tell you, if you have never had bangs before, trust me, they are a little hard to manage. That's the conspiracy, we see all of these celebrities in magazines and think we can have their hair... and believe me, if we had a $4000/hour stylist doing our hair every morning, maaaybe this would be true. But we don't. To compound matters, my husband comes home, and in the sweetest possible way, he makes it pretty clear that he preferred the blonder hair. I don't fault him, he has only known me as a bottle blonde. Scarily, I am not even sure what my natual hair color is anymore, isn't that sad? I have been heavily highlighting my hair since the 9th grade, and before that it was a sort of dirty blonde, mousy brown shade (attractive, I know). One time, many moons ago, I tried to go more natural, and I just didn't feel like myself, so I was back on the bottle in no time. Here's the thing: I get restless with my hair, the color, the length, and I want to change it, and almost immediately after i make the change, regret ensues. I am trying to get used to it, but I think I am definitely going to add a few more highlights around my face shortly. And the bangs, well, I am going to stock up on bobby pins and wait it out... as my mom says, they should be grown out by Christmas! Great. Without further adu....
