Bored and frustrated with my life. As usual, this often precipitates a drastic hair change. If I can’t control my circumstances, I can at least control my body, amirite?

I’m thinking synthetic dreads/braids this time.
I’m serious.
No, I’m not going to shave my eyebrows or get snakebite piercings or giant saggy ears. But I’ve been every colour of the rainbow already, and I’m not feeling particularly excited about the possibility about any one of them right now. I need something more than that right now. I’m feeling down, and need a reason to smile in the mirror. Blah, blah, depression, blah.

This still fits in with my plan to grow my hair out. Synth dreads are braided in with your real hair and then left in for a month or so, and as your hair grows out you can move them up and re-braid them to keep it looking neat. The point is, I don’t actually have to ruin my hair.

I’m leaning toward a blonde/red mix or a fiery red/copper mix for colour. I don’t think I’d want a solid blonde (even a mix of blonde shades) and I don’t want to go back to brown hair yet.
