Your hair is sunbleached, but dry. Likely an arid climate with a lot of sun. But your tanline doesn't match one that would have been gained during recreational activities, meaning that this was acquired during a trip that left you with very little time or inclination for getting a smooth color. Speaking of which, not a lot of places in the United States that would cause that precise shade - that and the nonrecreational purpose of your visit indicates the Middle East. Dangerous place for a trip, especially as a woman. I take it you're some kind of investigative reporter by trade?
