I finally did it. After four years of waiting to be done with pregnancies and breastfeeding, I finally colored and highlighted my hair. And I gotta say, what a complete waste of money and time. I don't think it looks any better than my natural black. It just looks different. This is what girls do when they are bored and have too much time on their hands. I just think, now that I've done this ridiculous thing to my hair, I have to go back at least every two months to get my roots colored to match my new hair. What mother has the time to waste half her day on her hair, in the name of beauty? A bad one, I say!

There is one thing that really bugs me about hair salons. I hate how you don't know exactly how much the work being done will cost until it is over and you have to pay what they ask for. I just know the price changes from person to person. I totally think I got had because my haircut, color and highlights cost way too much. I would post here how much I paid but I'm actually embarrassed by it. Dang it...does it say SUCKA all over my face?! Now that two days have passed, I'm actually kind of upset by what the lady charged me. I don't even love the color. I specifically told her I hate any hint of orange or red but I see orange when the light hits it. Urgh....

For some reason, it reminds me of something my dad said to us (mom, Claud, and me) once when we were getting to go out. We were all in front of the mirror, checking and rechecking ourselves, and my dad said in Korean, "Looking in the mirror won't change the way you look." haha! I thought that was so funny!

Yes, women do some crazy things to themselves, but does it really change us? Not really. Underneath the two coats of mascara, the highlighted hair, and the four inch heels, we're still the same.
