Hair Raising

So I have really thin, fine hair and adding color helps give it body. I used to have it done professionally on a regular basis, but it is expensive and I just can't afford to do that anymore. I have been doing it myself for a number of years now and using the same brand and color number. It's been alright. Sometimes alright gets old. So I decided to step out of the box and try a new color and brand. Well, I am not happy! I was going for a deep auburn color and ended up with "old lady purple". I've tolerated it for about 3 weeks, but just could not go any longer with purple hair. Today I bit the bullet and had my hair professionally cut and colored. I asked for copper and ended up red! But I like it! And the best part is, the Bookseller likes it! That's a good thing 'cause I know he won't like the bill. Hmmmm...
