I've been cutting + coloring my own hair for years + years now, but I've decided to give up the dye + just let my hair grow out to its natural color. It had been blue-black for almost 5 years, which is quite intense to change, so I had to completely cut the color out, rather than bleach it to make it happen. It took longer than I thought, but I'm really happy with the color, which I haven't seen since high school. It's a rich chestnutty brown with slight black + auburn highlights and some sweet little grey sprouts here + there. I've actually been trying to let it grow long, since I cut it off moons ago, but I can't seem to stick with it. There's something rather cathartic about keeping it this length, but how sweet would a pair of criss-crossed braids be? I'll keep you posted, but don't hold your breath!
Have you ever cut your own hair or let a pal cut it for you? I'd love to know how it turned out!
