On a journey towards decent hair

I'm on day #7 without a dramatic (or slight) change to my hair. AAAAAGGHH! Hair color withdrawl. I think I am at the point where I can officially accept the fact that I am addicted to changing my hair. Downside of that, I have approximately 1.5 inches of healthy hair at the top of my head. The WHOLE top part of my head is so bad it tangles into itself as soon as it starts to dry. I'd compare it to hay but hay might just be a tad bit softer.
So why the decision to go the recommended six weeks without coloring? Well, because about two weeks ago, I decided to darken it to a level 4ish maybe 3 in hopes that it would help cover up that hay-like effect i have going on. I've known for a lot longer that my hair was in a horrible state but I didn't stop.
It took, for about three shampoos. Then the blonde started to peek through, with a green tint to it! So of course, me being the color freak I am, went in with a level five warm brown. Guess what? A week later it's falling out again. :( That's when you know your hair is way too over processed, time to reconstruct. So for the next six weeks it'll be outgrowth city for me. Six very LONG agonizing weeks! Some people think that this time frame is too short, for me, it's WAY too long to stick with the same color. Wish me luck on this month and a half journey.
