I did it! I mean I finally did it!
For years, I've been working up the guts to do purple in my hair. I've gone blonde, black, red and every shade of brown that you can think of. About a year ago I was having an emotional evening, (and yes I was totally PMSing) and ran to Target for some Ben & Jerrys and I grabbed a box of burgundy hair dye. A pint of ice cream and 2 hours later I had beautiful redish/purple hair. I loved it, but I wasn't comfortable with the looks people gave me. Hello I had red and purple hair!

(When I had shorter burgundy hair)
I went back to being a brunette, and stayed that way.
Then I met a new friend who just moved to the area and happened to be a hairdresser. Another friend of mine knew her and raved about her skills. I was due for a trim (I swear I'm like the worst person when it comes to getting my hair trimmed on a regular basis), and decided to call and make an appointment.
The End!
LOL Just kidding, but seriously if I had it my way, she'd be my hair stylist from here on out. But being military, that's just not possible.
Anyways, I was telling her I love purple, but I don't have the guts to put it in my hair. We decided to ease me into it, buy doing another burgundy in my hair. But this time she did a faded in look, so I'm still a deep dark brown on top and it fades into burgundy.
And. I. Loved. It!
The best part was, my husband was so in love with the look too, he told me to keep it!

Spoiler Alert: I did!
I just love how in different lighting the color looks different. In the shade its has a blueish tone, whereas in the light its more a redish tone.
I've never loved a color more than I do with this color.

Have any of you tried a new look out and loved it/hated it?

I really, really love this color, too! And, it isn't like Barney purple! It is really pretty. It does look different in light/shade. How fun!
