Makes Me Mad

I don't know about you guys, but I have naturally reddish brown hair. And for some reason I get a lot of flack from people, who don't know me personally, about dying my hair. I did dye my hair a few years ago but all of that hair has pretty much broken off or has been chopped out. But I can see where they are coming from, because my roots always look darker than my hair and the tips are lighter than the rest of my hair, is that normal?

My hair used to do that when I was using a no-lye relaxer. I think it has something to do with oxidation. But once I switched to a lye relaxer, the color got much darker and deeper. I still have some naturally lighter strands when you really look at them, but nothing like before.

What is it that you're mad about? Getting flack from strangers that don't have to wear your head of hair, or the differences in your hair colors? I personally have a few different colors going on (highlights and henna) and get roots showing once in a while...I don't care, my hair is healthy and I like it. As far as what others think about what I do to MY hair or body...

I look at it like this, when others take notice of what you're doing it must be something that made them stop, take notice and pay attention to you more closely. I love haters, they motivate me

my hair used to do that too. it's pretty to me. like natural highlights. don't let others trip you up about your hair as long as you're happy

Sorry I kinda wrote this after a nap, my thoughts weren't together. I'm mad because people keep trying to the say it's a dye job. I haven't dyed my hair in a long time. And all of that mess is gone. Really a no-lye relaxer would do that? does that still count if you haven't relaxed in over 6 months, cause my new growth (except for my roots) is the same color. Thanks for the comments.
