I didn't pay for my low lights.

The other night a friend noticed the "low lights" in my hair and said how good they looked. I thanked her and said it was probably just the way the hair gel had settled, making a few strands of my hair look darker than the rest. Unfortunately, I later came to the realization that it wasn't the hair gel. What's really happening is the few darker strands are closer to my original hair color while the majority of my hair that's lighter is really just gray hair dyed red. What's really sad is that it used to be I would dye my hair and the gray would create highlights. Now, because I have so much gray, it's just the opposite. Sigh. Well, at least it still looks good!
