I dyed my hair light brown for the first time when I was 17. I wanted to take on a new look, but it wasvery strange when I looked at myself in the mirror. I thought the new hairdo was not right for me,especially the color. I felt a bit anxious when l looked into the mirror for the next month, then I had bought many different kinds of clothes to match the new hair color .However, my friends and classmates thought the light brown hair could brighten my skin and look better than before. After one month I had gotten used to the new hair color gradually, nowadays I dye my hair a different color once a year.
