New Do

This post could qualify for

Day 24 of the challenge,

which is Something you 

have learned.. but I'll

think of something else

for that I am sure. :)

It all started Friday night.

I have been needing to get

my hair done (i get highlights)

really bad... but with the holidays

coming, we didn't really have the

$ to pay for it... So I was trying

to help D out and decided to

get a box of color from the store.

We went to D's mom's house and she

did it for me. Piece of cake. Looked

really good all over, except for a couple

of pieces at the very top. Kinda spotted.

So she went back and put some more

of the color over it to see if it would

blend in. Can you guess?!

Ya, it didn't blend. I washed it out

and it was ORANGE. and when I say

orange, I mean it. Not gold, not blond,

ORANGE. And NO, I do not have

a picture of it. So, of course I was 

almost in tears. I mean.. I am by NO MEANS

high maintenance.. but when it comes

to my hair, I get emotional.  I have always

had really blond hair with all kinds of

colors of blond highlights. And most of the

time it has been long and flowy... And I try

to keep it that way. I was hysterical.

I called my hairdresser, who of course

was/is on vacation!!!! I didn't know what to do.

If you are like me, then you only have

one person who can do anything to your hair

too.  She has done my hair for about 10

years now. No one else will do. Until now.

The only other person I would let touch

my hair was my only option. I called her,

which she works in the same salon, and

told her my story. She worked me in

for today and fixed it. But it's not blond.

The only thing I could do to it was go

brown because if I put more blond

bleach on it, my hair would have broken.

BROKEN? no way.  So, reluctantly

I sat while she put brown color all 

over my hair. For the first time in

my life something other than

platinum blond was on my head.

Everyone seems to like it...

I am still getting used to it. It is

OK for right now.. but in a few

weeks when I can put color on it

again, I am sure I will be back

to my highlights. Most definitely.

So, moral of the story...

there is a reason why women

pay $$$ to get their hair done.

A good reason. And I for 

sure will never do it at home again.

Ever. The end.

 before.... a while back.

 after!
