I dyed it anyway and, lo and behold, I hated it. Black hair just doesn’t feel like me, even though it quite literally is me without a helping hand from my old pal peroxide. After those comments, I tried to turn back the clock and go blonde again, but the damage was already done. Once you dye your hair dark, going light is not easy — for the stylist or your hair health. While I did manage to go blonde once more, this time my hair was dry and strawlike, snapping at the crown with every brush. My confidence was shot and I vowed never to listen to someone else’s opinion on my hair colour again. But a question has rattled around my head ever since: Why does everyone seem to hate it when I dye my hair?
