The Hair Tragedy of 2011.

This is me. (when I was 3). Platinum blonde hair, all natural. Because I was born with blond hair, I've always assumed that my natural hair color was blonde, but the truth is - it's not. It's this blah and bland color that I try to play up by highlights. 

(side note - Hopefully our kids will be as cute as this picture)

But being pregnant, I decided it was time to stop lying to myself, and remove my highlights by dying my hair my root hair color. So I asked my stylist if I could have something that matched my root hair color, so I no longer have to go get my hair done very often. 

Ugh. Shudder. 

Apparently what the stylist heard was "please do your best to make me look like I'm ariel in "The Little Mermaid" 

So I went to another stylist in town and (in between sobs) asked her to do anything she could to make it more normal. 

New, More normal hair color. and goofy face. 

Now here's my dilemna - My hair is stuck this color, but my roots are already starting to show. I just want my normal, blah hair color, but I have no idea how to get rid of this color (besides letting my roots grow, which look grey compared to this dark color. 

Suggestions?
