Feeling Powerful

Hair is a topic I talk about a lot here. Along with weight loss. Apparently I'm just a typical American woman.

I shaved my head again a few months ago because I thought I was done with color. At least for a long while. But then I saw pictures. And then pictures of other women in my life with natural hair and I thought "Hmmmmm... I don't like the look of that." You know what it looked to me? It looked like I wasn't "POWERFUL."

These are times where it's good to look and feel as powerful as possible. 

My mom has brilliant red hair. Like Crayola crayon red. I love it. She gets stopped everywhere we go and people comment on how great it looks. Partly I think this is because it does make her look like a super hero.

She looks POWERFUL. She also IS powerful. A force of nature. As am I. You don't f*$& with the two of us. But my salt and pepper hair just wasn't conveying how I felt inside.

So I decided to go with a classic. Blue/black. Did you know that more comic book super heroes had blue/black hair than any other color? They were also all fair skinned. Why? Because there's something mythic and powerful about that combination.

Me in LA 2017 with black hair. Post TB and right around when my muscles decided to lose their shit. Age 44.

Pre-coloring. Cute, but not fierce.

Oooooh yeah... That's better!

This is my favorite go-to black dye. For experienced hair color'ers only. This stuff stains like crazy and you for sure don't want to get it on your new white sink. (But if you do, a little swipe with some nail polish remover will get it right off.)

I already feel refreshed. And yes... powerful.
