Okay, now I've had a hair mishap


I tried to upload this picture, but for some reason I had trouble with it.

I'm going to blame biscuit for my current hair problems because apparently it's catching. (no more talking about messing up do it yourself hair color). On Thursday I decided it was time to update my highlights so I bought a different brand of haircolor than I normally use and thought it would work well, but I wound up with dots of blonde in my hair. I'm not sure how that happened, but it did. I really didn't notice to tell you the truth, but when I went to get my hair cut today one of the other stylists did. I'll start from the beginning.

My hairstylist had shoulder surgery a couple of monthes ago and I had to have another stylist at her salon cut my hair. I recently noticed that it wasn't looking right and when I went in today my regular stylist took one look at it and told me she was going to have to fix it. The layers where off (that I knew) and one side had been cut thinner than the other. Never ask someone who isn't skilled at thinning hair to do that for you. When she asked another stylist to look at it and recommend the best way to fix it the other stylist kept looking at me funny. Finally she asked me if I colored my hair recently and I told her I did. Then I asked her if something was wrong and she told me there were blonde dots on the part of my head I wouldn't be able to see well. I had knew it wasn't the best highlighting job I've ever done, but I didn't realize it was that bad either. Of course, I couldn't see it very well. They suggested a dye that would bring my hair back to its natural color. It is designed to start dark and fade to the correct color as you wash. She said to wait for the color to settle and decide if I want new hightlights or not. So for now I have dark hair. My family isn't crazy about it. LOL. Oh, and my hair is shorter than usual too.

I'm so sorry I rubbed off on you! I'm sure you look beautiful, even if it is shorter and darker. "Different" is always a little hard to get used to.

My stylist went a little darker the last time I had my hair done - nobody really noticed it but me, but it bothers me!
Anyway, I'm so far off my natural color, someone referred to me as a blonde the other day and I had no idea what they were talking about. I still consider myself a brunette ... but I guess my hair's lighter than I think it is.

biscuit: The different I can handle, but I suspect this darker doesn't look too good. We went to the fall festival at school last night and I got a few "it's good to see you," but you know it looks bad when they avoid looking at your hair.

Kelly: I like your haircolor I think it looks really good on you. I wouldn't refer to you as a blonde though. To me you look like a brunette with highlights. It's very pretty.

I think they left the hair color on five minutes to long yesterday so it's darker than it should be. I may be calling a friend of mine in a couple of days and begging her to fix it.

Blech. Nothing worse than feeling like you don't look good. If you don't like it, that's enough.

Go get it fixed, honey. You deserve to look as fabulous on the outside as you are on the inside.

It's the kind that is supposed to wash out and "settle" into the color. I washed it this morning and it is a tad lighter. She told me to wash it four or five times before I decided what to do next.

You're beautiful, Cheryl, tell everybody you're letting your darker alter-ego come out for Halloween. If you wanna go for a WTFwhynot look, spray some glitter in your hair. Nobody'll notice the color anymore! And you'll look like a queen!!!
