Colorin' my hair blows. The worst part is brushin' it out first, hence the busy mane in the above photo. It's definitely not an easy task when you have the fro of curly knots that I have.
After finally raking all the color through my hair, I put the last bit that was left over on my eyebrows........oh sweet jesus the burn. Somethin' was definitely wrong here. The only time I felt that kinda burn was when I used bleach on my hair. Turns out I might as well have been......I didn't have my glasses on when I grabbed the 40 volume developer.....nice....I was about to have neon pumpkin orange hair.
Being that I pro that I am, I figured I'd let the color sit for longer than normal.....I figured the lifting of color would start first before the deposit of color so the longer it sat, the more color would be deposited. Makes since right?
I uploaded some new songs on the girl's ipod and cooked breakfast and before I knew it, the color had been on my hair for about an hour. Shit.
When I got out of the shower, I was grateful that all my hair hadn't fallen out, but when I looked in the mirror my hair was SO dark. Maybe it'd lighten up once it was dry....psht....right.
I totally have brown hair now......and I'm sad.......
....but not too sad to have a blast at the antique mall........

In college I interned at Geraldo and part of my job was to go through the reader mail and separate it out. One of the story ideas was from a woman down south who burned her scalp with hair dye. I don't remember the details but the photos were awful. Big patches of baldness. EEK! Be thankful you still have lovely full locks :)

I can't stop going to the antique mall....it's HUGE. There's so much to see that you couldn't possibly see everything at once. I go, take pictures, then go back a little later to buy the things I wanted the trip before. I gotta think on it a week or so to make sure I want them!
As far as the hair thing goes, thank god after 20 years of coloring and bleaching my hair every color you could imagine, I've luckily never TOTALLY destroyed my hair beyond repair!
