I have an obsession.
I’m addicted to being a blonde.
My real hair colour is just mousy. To be honest, I’ve not really seen it since I was a teenager. I tried going darker for a while but my true love is blonde hair.
Every now and then I dabble with the idea of changing my hair colour but I can’t go through with it. I’m obsessed with being blonde.
Does anyone else have the same problem? I thought I’d share 5 signs you’re obsessed with being a blonde so you can identify your addiction too.
5 signs you’re obsessed with being a blonde
1. You’re fiercely loyal to your hairdresser
Once you get the perfect shade of blonde you don’t want to mess with it. It’s much harder to keep changing salons when you want to maintain a colour and so you are fiercely loyal to your hairdresser.
2. You’re a toning freak
You obsessively tone your hair every week. You can see brassiness that no-one else can. Even though the label says you only need to tone every 3-4 weeks, you’d never wait that long. You also own a ton of different violet shampoos and conditioners to tone your hair as often as possible.
3. You can see roots that no-one else can
You’re obsessed with maintaining the illusion of having “natural” highlights. You can practically see your hair growing and notice the first signs of regrowth. Lucky you’re so loyal to your hairdresser and have a regular appointment that you re-book each time.
4. You’re in love with hair treatments
You try every product on the market that promises to treat dry or damaged hair. You know that being blonde takes a toll on your hair but you’re will ing to take that risk. You search for miracle hair products that make your “natural” highlights feel like natural hair.
5. You never tell anyone how much it costs to maintain your hair
Being a blonde is expensive. Not only in money but also in time. You spend hours in the salon and fork out a lot of cash for toners, treatments and specialist products. But you know it’s worth it as you’re obsessed with being a blonde.
As Dolly Parton said, “it costs a lot of money to look this cheap!”
So confess, are you obsessed with being a blonde too? How did you know you were addicted to being a blonde?

Stacy says
My daughter has natural blonde hair with highlights right now, and she is 9. I told her people pay a lot of money to get what you have naturally LOL! It will darken as she gets older but she still has that pretty almost white blonde hair.
Here is a picture of her dressed up as Elsa (post with a dress I made for her – we went to a comic con): http://thelandofka.com/?p=12339
I prefer my hair reddish…but I am not obsessed with keeping the color. I just don’t have the time or energy to, unfortunately.

Love that costume Stacy! I’m more obsessed with my hair now I have to photograph it all the time, but I do love being blonde. Your daughter’s hair colour is perfect x

Kat - The Organised Housewife says
Wouldn’t say obsessed but I definitely prefer it when my hair is blonde and I make sure it’s blonde, no red.
Hair Romance says
I’ve dabbled in strawberry blonde, but like you Kat, when I’m blonde I want to be blonde. Violet shampoos and conditioners are the best.
