I Dye My Hair To Feel Something

I started mixing conditioner with my hair dye because I was tired of frying my hair every time I needed to feel different. Not better. Just different. There's something about standing in my bathroom at 2 AM, stirring purple into white conditioner, that feels like I'm actually doing something about my life. The ritual of it. The control. But here's the thing nobody tells you about gentler dye methods—they fade faster. Just like everything else I try to fix myself with. Three weeks later, I'm back to my regular color, back to feeling stuck. I keep telling myself this time will be different. That pastel pink or faded blue will somehow make me the person I want to be. But the mirror doesn't lie. The color always fades, and I'm still me. Maybe that's why I keep doing it. Not because it works, but because for thirty minutes with dye in my hair, I can pretend change is possible. #ColorCoping #TemporaryFix #HairStory #Beauty #HairCare
