Join the Orange Side!

It was just shy of 14 years ago that I last had orange hair. 

I've wanted to do it again, but being a sensible adult I've held back my inner orange flair . . . until now!

Here's how it all went down. My peeps know I love a good, clean romance (book, movie or real life fairy tale) and devour at least 1 book a week (sometimes 1 a day). I had just finished reading the book Do Over by Shannon Guymon in which the main character Iris wants to express her inner, wilder self after a bad break-up. She does this by dying the ends of her beautiful dark hair a bright red.

I have not had a bad break-up, but really wanted to get my orange on and in my mind this was the magic solution! I could color just the ends of my hair and be super fun, orange and festive for the next 6 weeks, then after Halloween get a trim and voila . . . back to brown!

Upon completing the book I directly went to Sally's Beauty Supply and got bleach (or lightener as the stylist called it) and bright orange hair dye. It only took about 2 hours and $10. I'm quite happy with it to say the least!

What color is your inner wild side?
Also any book recommendations?
