i got my hair dyed today. i'm trying to do things to make myself look and feel prettier. i am naturally dark brown so i decided to dye it light brown. i knew the color wouldnt really take that well, but it would be lighter then my actual hair. well since my hair is so thin at the top where its starting to grow back, its lighter at the top then at the bottom where its thicker. it doesnt look that bad, and my mom and sister said nothing but good words about my hair. they love it. i come home and show my husband, and he said "that was a waste of money. you're stupid for buying brown when your hair is already brown." then his mother was like "it doesnt look good" all i did was want to cry. i went into the bedroom and buried my head in the pillow and just cried. i feel like crap. my own husband? i wish i could tell him about my hair but if he is going to act like this about hair dye, how will he react to my trich???

I've had that problem before, with the color not taking well- I'm sorry for the way they reacted to it. I wish hair wasn't something we all felt so insecure about. I hope you can talk to your husband about it soon and maybe he'll be more careful.

I've done the same thing in the past. It's refreshing to do something new with your hair. My family also didn't take it very well. I'm naturally dark brown and dyed it black. It's something different though. Good for you for trying new things! Don't take his criticism to heart. No one except us really knows how it feels to constantly worry about their hair. We're all here for you and I wish you the best!

My 6mo twin DD's are EBF and just started rice cereal on the first. Everything has been going fine except this morning one of them had a diaper rash (lots of redness around her anus). I read this as one of the signs of an allergy. BUT I did just buy a different brand diaper yesterday (which they have used randomly before w/no issues). Do you think its the cereal or the diaper? Im ready to start...
