4 Reasons I'm Not Going Back to Being a Brunette Yet

If I go back to brown too soon, I'll regret it. I know that if I listened to that tiny voice in my head every Fall, peeping up and asking, "Is it time to go back to brown?!," I'd miss the blonde in me. Plus, it took a long time for me to nurse my hair back to health after far too much bleach, and I don't want to go through that again. So once I decide to go back, I want to go back for good.

While my old hair color can be salvaged for the most part, its texture and strength cannot — at least not fully. Today, I use hair masks to maintain silkiness (I love L'Oréal's Intense Repair Cuti Liss System), and I wash weekly with Clairol's Shimmer Lights Shampoo to brighten my highlights. Keeping my hair healthy is not something I want to be wishy-washy about.
