I haven’t seen my original head of hair since I was 12-years-old! It all started when I really became a hardcore Madonna fan. I was in awe at how she constantly changed up her look and seemed to have a different persona every season. I was too square to become a punk, and I didn’t necessarily want to be weird, but I did want to be different. Hair color was how I started to express myself! Of course, as a 12-year-old, my mom wouldn’t let me do anything permanent. So, …
