I'm at the point where I truly believe I should not have gone with a lighter shade during the growing out process with my hair.  I think it's only enhanced the what would have been two-tone and is now actually three-tone phase I'm in.  That combined with the humidity has led to moments where I've thought about going for a pixie cut and getting it over with.  Then I come to my senses and wonder what I've been thinking.  But this has been an opportunity to find some really great products.  A silver lining.
