Hair Today Gone Tomorrow
For the record I dyed my hair 4 times yesterday. Well technically 3 times dyed and one time I removed the color. Don't ever, ever get yourself in that position because you will wreck quite a few towels. I speak from experience. The first time it came out too red, second time I tried to dull the red, third time I used dye remover to get out ALL of the color, which in turn turns your hair a bright orange. I'm serious. No one can ever see you like that. You basically have to lock yourself in the bathroom all day. THEN I dyed the clown orange a neutral medium brown and I can't believe it but it worked. At one point between steps 3 and 4 I was wailing about getting a hairdresser that instant. As my husband pointed out it was Sunday evening so I really had to fix it or call in sick, which I was prepared to do. So today I am sporting a mousey brown head of hair which I am very fine with. As for food, who has time to eat when they're busy wrecking their hair? I probably lost 2-3 lbs. in my quest to find the ultimate shade that would camouflage my body. So not worth it. I guess my MFA in textiles paid off in the dying department.

I bet you wouldn't think that I ever had orange hair, but I did. The summer after a horrendous school year and after turning 40, I decided to go blonde, only I had been putting henna on my hair so the bleach turned it orange! Thankfully I wasn't doing it myself and the kind young lady at the salon rescued it. So I only looked like a silly blond instead of a clown with ornage hair. Still - I believe hair is to play with. It's better than getting a tatoo!
