In my first year in university, however, I learned about semi-permanent dye and naively thought I could try black and have it wash out in a few weeks. Throughout middle school and high school, I always wanted black hair with blue undertones. While I have grown to love and appreciate my natural hair color, that was not always the case. I’ve been called a redhead, blonde, dirty blonde, and my personal favorite from my kindergarten students in Korea, “Teacher, your hair is pretty gold like money!” It always had been a mix of red and blonde highlights and light brown and auburn lowlights. My hair, however, would be best described as strawberry blonde. In my little nine-year-old brain, your hair was either blonde, brown, black, or red.

When I was growing up, I was never sure what color my hair actually was. In this post, I’ll be discussing the steps you should take when you’re putting color over bleached hair.īut first, let me tell you a little story about my hair journey.
