A change in color…?

Got myself a hot oil treatment and a haircut yesterday. Mari (that’s the girl who has been cutting my hair at Metro since Lucy resigned) suggested that I get a cellophane (tama ba ‘to?) treatment to give my hair a shinier look, or something like that, so while my head was covered with oil, wrapped in clingwrap, and stuck inside one of those irritating heaters (it was a bit uncomfortable yesterday), I toyed around with the idea of getting my hair color changed. Besides, I was also reading an old copy of InStyle magazine, where they were discussing hair color treatment, and how the stars are always changing their hair colors.
I think the last time I seriously considered changing my hair color was back in high school—my high school class is holding its 20th reunion this year—a long, long time ago. Back then, I wanted to change my hair color to a burgundy-brown shade and get green contact lenses. Of course, that was no go with my aunt, who thought I was being crazy. One of my cousins though did color her hair and I thought it was nice, and I remember being so envious because I couldn’t do it myself. Well, come to think of it, I don’t think I would have had the courage to do it even if my aunt did agree to let me. Truth is, I’ve been blessed with a nice shade brown hair (at least I like to think so), and for a while, I got really upset when people ask me if I color my hair (never did, so there!). Overall, I like my hair color.
But, come to think of it, why have I never really tried a different hair color? And why, at the slightest suggestion of a cellophane treatment, did I seriously start thinking about changing my hair color? I don’t know, but I am seriously considering getting it done that next time I visit the salon. I’m thinking of browsing some websites to pick a color. Let me see, should I go with the old choice of burgundy (am looking at the Revlon site), or stay with the shades of brown (golden brown, reddish brown, ash brown, light golden brown, light reddish brown, light ash brown, etc etc) . Or am I going to be really adventurous and go blonde (bwa ha ha!), so I can have more fun.
But I am really curious as to why I’m even bothering. Would I have the courage to push through with it? Geez, I’ve had the guts to try other stranger things, so shouldn’t I be brave enough for this. Will a different hair color change me, or as Keira Knightley might say ‘Am I bothered?’ (That is suppose to mean, ‘do I care?’)
I know if I change it to a really different color, I’ll get major reactions from my family, my father mostly. Again, am I bothered? The only thing is, will it mean I’ll have to get my hair treated when the roots go back to my natural color? Will I become a regular customer for color treatment? Geez, that would be an expensive luxury.
Hmnn, will there be a change in color? Abangan ang susunod na kabanata.

Yes have your hair colored na! Or I suggest highlights na lang (which look quite nice with short, layered hair) if you think a full-color change would be too much. Highlights in maybe a light brown or ash blonde shade would be really nice :-> Basta just go ahead and have fun with it Isa!
