Okay, step back and count to ten. It is a drastic change but I don't think it's bad. It's very different from what you are used to. Like when a woman has long hair and then cuts it very short. For a quick moment panic sets in.

My personal opinion is don't panic. I honestly don't think it looks bad. It is dark compared to what you are used to. I think you need to give it a week or two. See how everyone else reacts to it and give yourself time to adjust to the difference. If in about 2 weeks you are still not liking it then you know. Suck it up, go back and have it lightened up some or add highlights into it. Gradually you'll go back to how it was. You don't want to stress your hair out either with too many chemicals.

My friend used to touch up her blonde roots. We decided one time to hightlight my hair with the leftovers. Then it turned into going full blonde. Needless to say it turned Tonya Roberts orange/blonde. My husband was like what the **ck did you do to your hair?!!!!! I went and bought a color but it said I had to strip the old color out. Now I had white straw hair. Had to take the kids to swim lessons like this!!! Colored it darker. However, apparently when I washed it it was turning red and redder with every wash.

I finally had to have it professionally done. I've never done my own hair since.

Give it some time.

p.s. I'm pretty sure that no matter what the color.. your hubby wouldn't kick you out of bed.
