Roots

I hate the roots of my hair. I have a reverse-blond problem...my roots are turning light. They are either gray or a shade lighter than the rest of my hair.

I decided to go with a violet shade for the holidays, but now my roots are reddish while the rest of my head is blackish/brownish. My hairdresser, who happens to be my cool Auntie Kendra, gave me some black conditioner to use, but it has an unpleasant side effect -- it dyes your hands and anything else it comes in contact with. Powerful shit. I'm afraid to use it, frankly.

Roots also reminds me of high school. I had a nickname because my maiden name was Kunze (koonzie) when the series "Roots" by Alex Haley was popular on TV. It was 'Kinta Kunze'. FLASHBACK.

Sorry for the tangent. I'll deal with my roots somehow. At least I'm not in Iraq.
