Can you re-virginize your hair?
If you're a Sex and the City fan, you'll surely recall the episode in which Charlotte announced that she was abstaining from sex with her fiance Trey in an effort to "revirginize" herself. (Long short short: it was a dumb idea.)If real revirginization doesn't really work, does that mean that revirginizing your hair also doesn't? Let me explain. Virgin hair refers to hair that has not been chemically treated through colored, perming, straightening or body-waving (does anyone do this anymore?). Once you step into the world of hair processes, you can pretty much never go back.
Or can you?
When I was in college, I used to dye my hair a very light blond. Despite all the comparisons to Caroline Bessette-Kennedy I used to get, once I graduated, I ditched the blond to let my hair go back to its natural shade. Four years later, my hair has no traces of my life as a blond aside from a driver's license photo that almost always elicits a knowing chuckle from the wine store clerk.
So I'm wondering, have I revirginized my hair? Any thoughts?

I am actually in the process of “revirvinizing” my hair. I used to color it so that it was platinum blonde, when my husband and I first met but, about a year later I decided to stop coloring it. Eventually I had it all grown back out and all of the colored hair cut off so it was all natural again and waste length. I'm a natural blonde but it's a darker blonde. It was the healthiest it's ever been but I remembered when my husband had said how he liked blonde streaks (this was after I stopped coloring it, ugh!). So, hoping to please my husband, I went to my hair guy and had him put blonde streaks in my hair and when I got home my husband didn't like it on me (I could have killed him.). My husband said he liked my natural color just fine but I KNOW he liked my platinum blonde hair better. Anyway, in an effort to cover up the streaks, I decided to try and go all light blonde but that almost fried my hair because I did it a few days after my hair guy gave me my blonde streaks. Being that I'm a mother of a 2 y/o, I couldn't find the time to do my roots that had started to beam through my newly blonde (DRY) hair. I had about two inches of dark roots when I decided to try a more normal color which turned out as a dark reddish brown--which I hate. I decided, screw it, I'm letting it grow out again, so now I have about four inches of natural dark blonde color and the rest is a light reddish brown color with some blonde where the dark reddish brown had faded. AAAAHHHHHH!!!! Well, at least it's to my butt now. I'm about to pull a "Britney".
