live blonde or die trying..

since birth, i have been a blond.. and so this weekend i decided to play around out of sheer boredom. i went to my old store and picked up some hair dye, it was light golden brown and a color that would wash out in 6-12 washings, so i buy a bottle and have a friend help me out on it. midway thru the dying process, we realize we have too much hair for dye, so she had to run out and buy another bottle. that was faux pas #1 of many..

after that, we wait the twenty minutes and then go about washing it out and drying to reveal the final color. the color orange. so then we are examining it - it is not pretty. so we hike back to the store for the third time, and go to the hair product aisle. get there and decide to drop the golden part and go medium brown. okay, set.

dye, rinse, repeat. this time i am a certified brunette. it was actually kind of nice. made my eyes stand out, so i was like this can work for a week or two without any problems.

problem number one came a few hours later. go to the gym saturday afternoon and am working out on the elliptical and finish my routine. i scratched the back of my neck and then went to wipe the sweat onto a towel. this is when i realized my hand looked as if i drenched it in muddy water. i was sweating brunette.

go home and run into the shower. must finish rinsing all the dye out.

by the time i am done with the shower, the bottom of the tub needs a scrubbing because it is also now brown. but my hair isn't anymore. it is now a lovely shade of orange. remember the singer vitamin c.. THAT color. yuk. but at this point there is not much i can do about it..

wake up sunday and go tot he gym to test myself and see if i will leak brown again. i did, and i even dyed the side of my face so it looks like i have a bruise near my temple. i am going to tell people i got in a fight. it is easier. go about my day and have a double header. i forgot my cap, but had a visor with me. that would work. work in the sense that it exposed only the top of my head to the sunlight. the result - green streaks.

so now i am sporting this seasons hottest hair color - brown/blond/orange/green.

i called up my hair dresser in a panic - and since she is oh so fabulous, i will be blond in less than 24 hours. in the meantime i will be rocking out with the green hair to work tomorrow, can't wait for the jokes.

only me.
