Hair color fades because it’s alive. It moves, it changes, it surprises you. Treat it like a pet rock that slowly loses its paint. Love the process. Laugh at the patchy spots.
You will never “win” against water and sun. But you can enjoy the ride. So go ahead—dye your hair neon green. Accept that it will be “mint” by month two. And when someone asks, “How long does that last?” just wink and say, “Long enough to have fun.”
Now go forth and fade fabulously.
