The New DO (I mean Hair DO)

So Just So you know I started this Post in February

and am Now Just getting to it

Yes it is April

My Last Hair Color
Yes That's Right I went Blond
Not on PURPOSE - It was supposed to be Highlights
But Because I still had Some Highlights From Before
this was the Turnout!

So It had been months
(and I mean Months)
since I last had my Hair colored.
And As you can See Below
It has Grown out (really Really Bad)

I Can't Help It - The Funny Face I mean.

It's February 21st 2009

And

Because I'm Cheap (or frugal)I didn't want to spend $90 to get my hair recolored for it to end in Disaster.


So I went and bought a $7 box of color
from Albertsons I thought to get a base color
so next time I get highlights
I don't end up blond again
I noticed right away it was really dark.
So I knew it was Senior Year All over again.

When I was 16 or 17 I dyed my hair for the
first time to a pretty light brown/auburn color
I really Liked it. I kept it that color for a long time.
Till Senior Year. Mom wanted my natural
Color back for my Pictures.

So we went and bought a Dark Brown Hair Color
Cause that was what I was Naturally.
It came Out Black.
So we went and Bought a Lighter Brown - Still Black.
So then We tried Hydrogen peroxide to bleach my Hair
It DID NOT WORK - Next we had to buy a Color Stripper
Hair Turned ORANGE.
One Last Shot - A medium Brown
It was Better - Had some Reddish Highlights. So we Left it Alone.

By the Way this was all in one DAY!
My head was blistered and Sore.
So from this little story you can see
why I'm a little reluctant to do this my self -
From a Box and and Home.

But I figured no big deal
and Went with it
This is what I get!
BLACK - AGAIN - or at Least very CLOSE


After a Few days I bought a Medium Brown
to try and Lighten it
That didn't work this time Either!
(oops - history Repeats it's self again)

This Time though I will not keep going.
I'll let the color fade a little.
Maybe try again a few weeks down the road.
OR not - Who knows - I will be able to get Highlights
and not look super Goofy.
It's Now April 2009 and I still haven't tried again.
I'm getting used to the color and
Justin isn't telling me he doesn't like it anymore.
So . . . Who know's really - I need a good cheap Hair dresser
I might Have found one - but what can I say
I'm frugal and Hate spending the money
on my hair so We'll see when I'll get it done next.
