Why Dyeing My Hair Was The Best Thing I Have Ever Done

Getting rose gold hair!

Why Dyeing My Hair Was The Best Thing I Have Ever Done
Veronica Castellano

After months and months of torturing my parents, I finally was able to dye my hair. Granted I got my hair painted more blonde in the summer, but this is the first time I made a big change.

I went to a consult with my stylist and she loved my idea. I showed her three different colors of this "rose gold" idea that I found on Pinterest. She asked if I wanted an appointment right away and I excitedly said yes.

A week later, I walked in right after school in the middle of the week. No one knew I was dying my hair except a few people who I don't go to school with. I walked in and I was the most excited I have been in a while. Even though I wanted more rose gold than brown, I needed my hair to be more on the natural side for school. As I walked in, I was sent to the seat right away. My hair stylist was all ready to go! She was just as excited as I was.

I had to sit in the chair for the longest time waiting for her to mix the best colors that will create the color we were hoping for. Even though it took a long time, it was completely worth it. After the wait was over, we got right to my hair. She started with darkening my roots, and midway down my hair she added a different dye.

The process did not take long, the longest parts were when she was choosing the colors, and after the dye was applied and I needed it to sink into my hair. After watching her add all of these different colors to my hair, this was the product before it was washed out.

I was ecstatic with the outcome of my hair, and it wasn't even finished yet! I was not allowed to move my head for what felt like the longest time. I had to sit like a statue while attempting to talk to my friend, Caroline, who came along to keep me company. Once the waiting was done and my hair was washed, it got blowdried. I was so confused at first because my hair changed colors in different lights! In some photos, it seems like a deep dark brown.

Other times my hair looks close to what it was before.

My favorite part, is in almost every light, there is a reflection of either pink or purple in my hair.

I am completely and utterly in love with my hair. Even if it looked darker than normal and there is not much of the pink reflection, this change is a good one. I definitely love darker hair on me, despite the fact that most people try to change their hair to become blonde. I hope to keep this hair throughout the year and have it become a part of who I am.

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.
