hair faux pas?
Man, the fuschia hair is NOT working. It doesn't look quite like I pictured it would, and that's my fault for trying to do it myself instead of asking someone for help. I thought it would lighten after a few days and being in the sun and washing it repeatedly. Nope. I don't know how I thought highlighting bright pink would be easier than dying it all red. I still missed roots and crap.I even tried an emergency Grape Kool-Aid wash last night; I left it on for three hours, soaked my hair thoroughly with hubby's help so nothing was missed, and the pink is still only slightly toned down. The rest of my dirty blond mess is barely dark, much less purple. I even found directions on-line on how to do it, and FOLLOWED them, dammit. How the hell did Rubber-Chicken-Necklace Girl in high school have rainbow hair all the time? And this pink is NOT going to be easily covered with another dye.
Plus, my 4 year old informed me that it was just wrong to dye my hair pink.
It was like stabbing her non-conformist mother in the heart. I even offered to streak her hair with the Kool-Aid color of her choice, and she shut me down flat. I fear for teen-age years. She's probably the female, two decades later version of Alex P. Keaton (dating myself, I know, but you, too, if you get the reference, so NAH!)
As I see it, I have two choices to dye it all this horrendous pink and then highlight and do the underneath layer with black- or try and get real purple dye and see if it covers.
Maybe the new tattoos will distract from the mess on top.
This is what I get for trying to relive my youth, huh?
