So Just So you know I started this Post in February

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.

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

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!

Amanda, I love your hair. You looked soooo cute on Easter. I really like your new haircut and your makeup was so pretty. Justin is very lucky...and so are we. I love you linda
You look GREAT! It looks like the perfect shade of chocolate brown to me and I really like that. I have never colored my own hair and probably never will after reading about your senior year. Ouch!
Wow! Your hair is awesome! Sorry about your sore head though, I guess you can call that a bad hair day! My friend just dyed her hair purple and red, accidentally red though. You're not the only one! :)
