Guess who got a new redheaded model... Zara! Now it's twice the fun. I can go there to shop and to get the perfect color for my stylist. Cut my hair again last night and much to my dismay found more grays and general mousy brown-ness coming in at the roots. Grrr.

So now my mousy brown grays are wonderfully frizz-free. Joy.
