*pout*
I hate my new hair. Hate. It. The hair.
Look, I even tried to smile for you but it didn't help. And you get me with my glasses on 'cause I just don't give a crap.

It's TOO LIGHT. Also, I have too many bangs now. In fact, it feels like the entire top of my head is bangs. The bottom part of my long hair (you can't quite see it) is still rich chocolaty brown with caramel highlights...the top is a full three shades lighter with blond highlights. Yuk! I'm no blond!
*sigh* Nothing takes the wind out of your sails faster than a bad hair job.
Greg says he'll get me a paper bag for my head. He says he'll draw a smiley face on it so he can at least pretend I am "happy cheerful Andrea". ^_^
I want to get a paper bag & draw a frowny face on it...or just the words "GO AWAY". The salon is closed until next Thursday, so I'm just going to have to live with this hair. *snarl*

It's also harder to screw up if you're going darker. I'd never bleach my hair on my own.
That said...I don't actually see any problem with your hair. *puzzles* Because of your shoulder position I can't tell if it has been layered, and because the camera is so high above you I can't tell if it suits your face shape, but the colour looks fine...it looks like golden brown sugar, to me. And it looks straighter. Is this newly newly done? Wait until you've washed it yourself...your hair seems a bit wavy and it won't look the same when it hasn't been styled by someone else.
Hope you like it better tomorrow.

1) Mix dye as directed.
2) Apply dye to scalp in lines from the forehead to the back every 1/2 to one inch apart. Tilt your head forward and do the back as well. Make sure you get the edges! Many people miss the roots at their forehead/temples/nape.
3) Pile all your hair on top of your head and hold it there while you squirt the dye over top. Squirt out as much as you can without it dripping off and work it in further when it gets to the drippy stage. Use as much as you need to fully saturate the hair, then ditch the bottle and use both hands to work the dye into your hair completely, as though you were shampooing it.
4) Put a plastic bag (like a grocery bag) over your head and twist the excess plastic around like you would if you were putting your hair up in a towel, then secure it with a hair clip/comb. This will prevent staining and dripping and it contains the smell AND somehow increases the intensity/staying power of the dye, I find. Dunno why but it does.
5) Wait the listed amount of time, usually 20 to 30 minutes.
6) Don't try to wash your hair without taking your clothes off...just take them off and get in the shower...THEN wash your hair out after you've put the gloves back on. If shampoo comes with the dye, use it...otherwise use your own. Rinse you hair until it is mostly clear then shampoo twice and add conditioner if you need it. Use a DARK TOWEL to dry your hair, as it may still contain enough watered-down dye to stain a light towel.
7) The End.
Seriously, it's dead simple. If you pick a colour that suits you, you won't have any trouble at all. Highlighting is more fussy, but if you wanted to I'm sure you could...you can paint, after all :)

I'll just have her fix it 'cause I used to use drugstore color & it sucked...made my hair brittle like straw. That's why I get it done at a salon...the color is gentler to my hair & lasts longer.
I'm just angry because I was SO looking forward to my coloring & now I'm disappointed. *spoiled brat*

Oh...I just bought a bunch of those "clippies" you use, for Char. She saw them & totally fell in love (I got some adorable lady bugs for her as well as a bunch of bows). That's a very cute shop!

I most like clippies with big cute flowers on them. Everyone LOVES them when they see them, I don't know why everyone intends to sell them for children or why most people seem to only think to BUY them for babies and toddlers. Babies and toddlers get everything! No way, the clippies are mine. :)
Your hair
(Anonymous) 2008-01-20 08:42 pm (UTC)(link)Um, would you consider just going to SuperCuts and requesting a Jean-Luc Picard? I'm guessing the answer is "NO", but I just thought I'd offer it up as an alternative.
Re: Your hair
It's not so awful that I'd rather be bald...it's just irritating.

I agree with GM - you could always dye it yourself. I did that for years until it got too long and unwieldy. There are lots of semi-permanent colors and even this "glaze" (I can't remember which company makes it) that layers on a bit of color on top of your own.
Try not too be too grumpy. I know you don't like it right now, but hair is pretty easy to fix. And count yourself lucky...my cousin's wife was getting her hair frosted by a friend, who pulled ALL of her hair through the little cap and she ended up with completely bleached hair from about temple-level down. Try fixing *that*! lol She managed to find someone who did a relatively decent job of matching it up, but she really had to just wait until it all grew out. :\

I'd be grumpy too. A bad hairdo is instantly depressing. But a bad colour is usually more fixable than a bad cut, thankfully. I can try to find pictures of the bobby pin thing if you want me to, but your hair looks fine enough that the bangs don't seem too heavy in that picture.

The dark brown you're talking about is different...sounds more like seal brown.

My brown of 02 was super awesome. SO rich, and no red at all. RARE.

I hesitate to ask, but *how* did you end up with hair that you hate?
no subject
I don't know how she messed up. She's supposed to have notes about whatever color she used last time. I just go in & she just mixes up my color combination, usually, & it's no big deal. Maybe because it was a Saturday & it was crazy busy in there.
Poop.

And why is my beloved mask maker going to rely on a paper bag? Please tell me that? You've gotta have enough leather scraps to make yourself a full coverage mask a la 'Straggletag'. :P

lol...I suppose I could just wrap my extra-neat fringe scarf around my head!
Really...it's not all that bad. It's just not what I paid for.

Though I suppose if you're not AIMING for purple, it might be a bit of a shock.
