Dyeing your hair can be a fun way to change up your look and give you a self confidence boost! Whether you decide to drastically change your look or just go a shade darker, it's exciting to get a new look. However, it can be kind of scary to take the leap, especially if you're not sure it will turn out the way you intended. Here are the 11 steps you will go through when dyeing your hair!

1. You decide that it's finally time to dye your hair.

Whether or not you have been thinking about it for awhile or it is a spontaneous decision, you want to change up your look.


2. You drive to your nearest beauty store/Target and scour the aisle for the perfect color.

It's possibly the hardest decision you've ever had to make. You're never quite sure if the way the color looks on the box will be the way it actually looks on you.


3. You're finally able to narrow it down to two colors.

It's a very important decision and choosing the wrong color could mean disaster.


4. You finally pick the right color and are super excited to start dyeing it!

You probably have next to no idea what you're doing, but you're excited none the less.


5. The nerves start kicking in right before you put the first amount of dye in.

Again, you go through all of the ways that this could be a huge mistake. Common thoughts include: "What if my hair turns green?" or "What if it looks absolutely terrible?"


6. You or a friend starts putting the dye in, and you realize that there's no going back.

A mild panic begins to set in.


7. After all of the dye is in, the waiting game begins.

It's absolute agony waiting the thirty minutes for the dye to set in. You'll be able to catch up on some hot gossip with friends or put on Netflix.


8. Thirty minutes are up and it's time to rinse your hair out!

If you wash it out in the bathtub, you will see the dye rinsing out and you will think you've made a terrible mistake.


9. You take a glimpse in the mirror while your hair is completely wet.

You won't actually be able to see what it really looks like, but the curiosity is killing you.


10. It's done! You've blow-dried your hair and your ready to see the new 'do!

Your heart is pounding as you walk over to the mirror. You also come up with a mental game plan to change it back in case the color is completely wrong.


11. You absolutely love it!

And you wonder why you ever doubted yourself!

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
