Died hair blonde first time.

Not too long ago, I decided to change up my hair color and go from being a brunette to blonde.

At first, I wanted to keep it natural looking by going with highlights. Then, I thought that maybe if I got the whole head dyed it might look better than just highlights. So I went over to one of those fancy salons and they told me that they could do some really nice light browns but if I wanted any kind of blonde then they would have to put in some bleach first before coloring it again with the lighter shade of brown. When they said this my heart started racing because this meant dyeing my hair twice! However, since my stylist had been doing this for years and knew what she was doing (and also because my friend recommended them highly), so I decided why not? She promised me that she would make sure everything came out okay and even said that maybe after it was all done we could play around with some red tones if there was any left over from dying her own hair earlier in the day (her hair is naturally black). So after a few hours passed by we finally got finished up! When looking at myself in front of the mirror at home later on though…

Thought I looked cute.

Having a new look is a big deal for most people, but for Marley it was more than that. She wanted to feel good about herself and she wanted her friends to think she looked good too. So, when she went out with her friends on Saturday night, she showed off her new hair color with pride.

She was happy with the way it turned out and even though it wasn’t exactly what she had envisioned in the beginning, it was still very pretty and unique just like her!

Came to school.

When I came to school, people reacted in different ways. Some said it was cool, others said it looked good and some didn’t say anything at all. I noticed a lot of people had the same thing done to their hair but with different colors so they could tell themselves apart from others who were also dying their hair that day. The reaction I got from my friends was great because they looked at me how they always do when we hang out together: like we are best friends forever! This made me feel really good about myself because it showed me that my friends still liked me even though I had changed something about myself by dying my hair. When someone looks at you with admiration or affection like this, it makes you feel happy inside because they are telling you things like “I love what you did with your hair” or “You look amazing today!” In addition, after looking back on the experience now (about 2 weeks later), I think that maybe dying my hair helped me become more confident in myself by trying something new on such an important day as graduation; not only did people compliment me on how beautiful it looked but also told them how much confidence this gave them as well which made our whole class feel better about ourselves during one of life’s biggest milestones: graduating high school!

Had a lot of fun, but felt bad for looking better than some people.

I had a lot of fun with the process, and it was even more fun to look in the mirror after each application. The downside is that I occasionally felt a little bad for looking so good. I’m not saying that anyone should feel bad about themselves or their looks—I’m just saying that if you go blonde and then take pictures with your friend who has dark brown hair, they might be jealous.

On top of that, I realized that one way to make yourself feel better when you look better than your friends (because we all do at some point) is to think about how many times Alexis would have liked her hair color back before she went red and blond again!

Decided to go brown the next day so that my friend Alexis would feel better about her hair.

If you chose to dye your hair for yourself, congratulations! That’s awesome. But if you’re like me and did this for somebody else, then we need to talk about what that means.

I’m not saying that doing something for someone else isn’t nice or helpful; it just means that it’s not a great reason to do something. In my case, I was trying to make myself less pretty so that my friend Alexis would feel better about her hair. I know: ridiculous! But guess what? It didn’t work! She still felt bad about her own hair because it wasn’t right for her face shape or whatever—so the whole thing ended up being pointless.

Did so the next week when it was over.

When you feel beautiful, don’t be afraid to show it. Don’t apologize for being gorgeous or making others feel inferior. Be proud of who you are and what makes you different from everyone else. If someone is going to notice your hair, accept them noticing it and be glad that they took the time to compliment it instead of looking away or not saying anything at all.

Still didn’t look pretty at all, because brown is not my color.

This was probably the most important lesson I learned. It’s not just about looking pretty, it’s also about being happy with yourself. There are some people who need to have a certain color of hair to feel good in their skin, and that’s okay! That’s why we have so many different colors available at the salon—to help everyone find their own true colors.

But no matter how much I tried, brown wasn’t my color and I couldn’t make this change for myself or anyone else. In the end, it was me who felt sad about choosing something that didn’t make me happy; it wasn’t anyone else’s fault that my hair wasn’t right for me anymore.

Don’t try to make yourself less pretty just because of others.

Don’t try to make yourself less pretty just because of others.

If you like your hair, keep it! Don’t change your natural self just because someone else is unhappy with theirs. You should never feel like you have to change who you are or how you look just to please someone else—especially if that means making yourself look worse! You’re beautiful no matter what, so don’t let others bring you down and force their ideas about beauty on you.

Express yourself however YOU want, whether it’s changing your hair color every other day or wearing clothes that aren’t “cool” but make YOU feel good about yourself—they’re YOUR choices in life and they should reflect YOUR personal style, not anyone else’s opinion on what makes a person attractive or not attractive.
