When I was fresh out of college, I was keen on experimenting with my hair. I was tired of people telling me I have Jetblack hair. I mean everyone around me had black hair, but mine was the blackest.
I wanted to have it coloured but I was always skeptical about whether it would suit me. Indian tanned skin and all that, surely coloured hair might look weird. I mean of course Kareena Kapoor has coloured hair too, but then her skin tone is not comparable at all!
So i just mulled over it. Everytime I would go to the salon for a haircut, I would wistfully browse through their catalogue. Once when my friend and I were in a shop, this really loud mouthed woman walked in and we looked her way. She was a middleaged woman and had a shock of freshly dyed blonde hair. The combination of that and her deeply tanned skin gave a horrendous effect. I didn't want to end up looking like that and hence gave up my dreams of colouring my hair. >>>>>>
Then one day I was looking at some pics in a magazine and I noticed that Bipasha Basu's hair was streaked brown. And it looked really cool on her!!! I was terribly excited because I have lighter skin tone than Bipasha Basu and surely if it looks good on her, it may not look so bad on me!!
And then I went and streaked my hair - you wont believe this - in blood red colour!! You'd think I was mad and I seriously wish I had a pic to show now, but it looked out of this world! Imagine streaks of red on jet black (i know my Tamil friends are thinking of something else now).. Immediately I was transformed into an international babe (or so I felt!). The first time was the best because I no longer had jet black hair during my subsequent visits to the salon. The red slowly turns into brown and stays for long.
I would have coloured my hair three times like this (once every year) and then i stopped because my hair texture was getting spoilt. Also a stressful job has made half my hair fall down. I guess the next time I would colour is when my hair turns grey!
