Brunette vs Blonde

Blondes have more fun?

Well, I don't know if I can vouch for that one.

I am a lover of my dark roots and hair. I was blessed with a set of locks so I've learned to embrace the natural color of my hair. I have been color treating my hair since the age of 14 and have now decided to stop! It's only logical considering that I do want to have hair by the time I'm 30. haha. As a brunette I find that I get more attention. Many people like me as a Brunette but many also like me as a slight blonde because of the color of my eyes. I'm Puerto Rican and with my dark locks I tend to receive tons of attention. They say I appear more exotic. Many people mistake me for Italian, Armenian, Persian and of course Hispanic lol. Hey, I do like being a Latina ;o) I have to say, that is quite the compliment considering I absolutely love those cultures.

As a Blonde, I liked it but I wasn't happy with it because for one my hair grows to fast to enjoy it! I would literally have one inch of my natural roots showing within 1 month. :o/ Second, I don't go to just any ordinary hair salon, so I would go to a boutique in which I payed an arm and a leg to get my hair highlighted. Third, I simply didn't feel like myself. I kept on thinking about special occasions in my life, in the future... like my wedding day. I want to appear like me, not like some made up doll. I can appreciate my dad in this matter because he always tells me to be myself in all aspects because I am beautiful just the way I am. Coloring the hair seems so simple but in the same light, it's VERY personal. I wish I would have listened to him but I am one to learn from my own experience. SO, from now on I will embrace my dark locks more than ever. I'll start thinking about dyes once I get some gray strands. haha.

Kim Kardashian is widely known for her dark hair amongst other things. Recently, she posed as a blonde for a magazine shoot and roamed NYC streets with her profound new look. I wasn't impressed. Not that I should care, because it's just hair BUT it goes to show that natural hair color can be more beautiful and appear healthier and shinier! Sometimes, color treating the hair can make one look and appear much more older or younger. I guess it depends. Nothing urks me more than dye that eventually fades! So, with that being said- NATURAL IS THE WAY TO GO.
