I dyed my hair yesterday. It is slightly lighter. I've noticed that I get depressed whenever my hair completely grows out to its 'natural' color. My theory is that I'm not getting enough sunshine, so my hair doesn't naturally highlight. Somewhere in me is probably a little voice telling me I look sickly and should get some sun. Not knowing when I'll have the luxury of lounging in the sun, I'll resolve to get some sun soon, and dye my hair lighter in the meantime. I feel much better today!
