Pretty in Purple

For a couple of years I kept my hair purple. I loved it, and strangely, I felt more myself with purple hair than I ever do with my natural (or any natural) hair color. But it was a lot of work and got very expensive to maintain. Purple hair fades, so even if you take good care of it, you can’t just wait for roots to grow out. At one point, I carefully photographed my purple hair each week from the day I got my hair done until the next hair appointment to document the fade. I never got around to collecting those photos and putting them into a time progression blog post. But I still love this image of my purple hair at its darkest.
