I wanna be RED!

I've always had this desire to be a red-head, but my hair has other plans for me. I've died it numerous times, I've had it professionally done, I've even had it stained but it always washes out. Permanent dye washes out, now thats enough to piss ya off huh? Yea, well. Sean was tired of my whining so he took me to get it dyed again hehe. I haven't died my hair in over 2 years just to "prepare" it to be red, lol. A beautician told me once that it wouldn't hold because I've died it blonde too much and it can't hold on to the red pigment, so to leave it alone till it all grows out and try it then and it should work, so I did. Lived hapily with my brown hair with blonde highlights, lol, all natural for like 2 years. Anywho, Tyrese, the guy who did my hair this time was intrigued by my problem and asked me if he could use "black girl dye" on my hair. I'm willing to try anything. So now my hair has been highlighted red, and by red, I mean RED. It's more intense than fire engine red. You know how you see black girls with red highlights? Thats the red I have now, and i LOVE it. Of course I'm biased on this, but I think it's pretty friggin hot. hehe. Not that I wasn't hot before, but now...... yea, I'd do me. =) Last night though I washed it, and upon examination of my bubbles, they were pink. Now maybe it's just excess washing out, I guess we'll see, but if this washes out too, then theres just no hope for me. I hope it stays though, I love it.
