Natural blonde here, but I still color it blonde! (just a warmer shade) Oh, and I have earned higher than the standards in my clinical rotations and not to mention I've got a GPA that fits into the national nursing honors society (Sigma Theta Tau) so let the haters hate, be you. If your hair makes you feel insecure at all, then you figure out which shade will make you feel you, wonderful, confident ready to learn! you go girl.
