Carly Emerick of Candy Apple Blue Age 21 (1993)

Here I am at the tender young age of 21. The year was 1993. When I was younger, I always loved playing around with my hair color. I can truly confess that I was a hair color addict. I even went to cosmetology school to learn more about it. 

I always enjoyed changing up my look and hair color played a big part in my metamorphosis. I would go from blonde to black and then to red sometimes all within the same year. I remember watching Molly Ringwald's Fresh Horses and thinking I wanted to try to achieve the same red color that she had in that movie. I think I aced it.

Red can be a tricky hair color because of the laws of science. The small molecules found in this artificial pigment easily rinse out after only a few shampoos. It wasn't long before this hair color faded and I was golden blonde again.  

Big love, Carly xoxo
