I Dyed My Hair Dark to Disappear

I went brunette thinking it would make me look more serious. More put-together. Less like the mess I felt inside. It didn't work. I just looked like myself wearing someone else's hair. Three months later, I'm standing in my bathroom at 2 AM with bleach bowls and foils, trying to undo what I thought would fix me. My hair is fried. Orange in some spots, yellow in others. I've done this twice already. Everyone keeps saying "it's just hair," but they don't understand. The blonde wasn't just a color—it was permission to take up space. To be seen. Now I'm paying $200 and risking my hair falling out just to feel like myself again. The girl in the mirror with dark hair isn't me. She's who I thought I should be. I'm done being her. #HairRegret #IdentityCrisis #BeautyBacktrack #Beauty #HairCare
