My hair

So I'm not going to lie, I like my hair. I've got nice hair. My husband will tell you it feels like straw, but I beg to differ. It LOOKS good.

My time in Korea has turned my hair into shit. The water here is different, so every day my hair screams in agony as the moisture sucking water hits the already dry strands. The summer made it frizz into uncontrollable curls, and the cold air now dries it out even more. I have bought countless creams, special conditioners, and masks to try and restore it, but my hair is crying for mercy.

To top that off, I haven't dyed it in 3 months, and I've got roots coming in. This usually happens when brunettes come here with blond hair, and then months later they get they so classy DARK roots. I have the opposite problem. I came here with gorgeous chocolate brown hair and now I have an inch and a half of baby blond roots. The sun has turned my hair into this reddish, brownish, ugh color and add to that a distinct line of growth where the blond is growing back, and you've got yourself and picture of complete class. Note sarcasm.

On the plus side, I haven't let my natual hair color grow in for about 12 years, so to see that it actually still is the kind of blonde women try to achieve in salons makes me laugh at little bit. Maybe I'll let it grow in and see what happens...
