Somehow my hair has turned blonde

Very strange. People at work this past week have been saying "I love your hair color!" and I was all "what?" I haven't had my hair done since June and I don't think I've had highlights done since a few months before that. My natural hair color is dark brown. These days I have a lot of gray. But I get the roots done regularly and foil highlights like every 6 months or so. Well after a good look in the mirror yesterday I was like "holy crap I'm now blonde". That never was a goal. I guess it was the combination of sun and chlorine that stripped color out of my hair. My ex even commented on it and said he liked it. I was like "I'm not trying to be blonde!" Chantal isn't responding to my texts so I need to find another place to get my hair done. At this point I need roots, a trim, and more tinsel. Not many places do tinsel though. My neighbor used to work at ULTA and I think they do it there. I will talk to her when she gets back from work today. I also want toner on this crazy blonde hair. Blonde was never the goal.

Either your hair is transitioning from gray to white or you spent too much time in the sun by the pool and inadvertently sun bleached it. lol

@NJChicaa I have never dyed my hair. Of course, most guys don't. My wife stopped dyeing hers years ago and I actually like her hair gray.

@porwest I am not ready to go gray. My friend will be coming soon to do my roots, tinsel, and a trim

Bleached by the sun I would say, I thought my hair would become pure white when I stopped coloring it. My grandma had lovely white hair. What has happened is that I have white in my bangs and most of the rest of my hair has become the brown color of childhood, Could I suddenly be getting younger?

When I was a kid, and hung outside so much, my hair went really blonde.

Too bad Chantal is MIA. I hope you find someone good to replace her. Have a good week.

I was going to suggest it might be from spending so much time in the sun.

That’s a wild turn of events! It’s funny how the sun and chlorine can totally change your look without you even realizing it. I can see why people might be surprised if you didn’t intend to go blonde!
