Remember last Saturday’s hair fiasco? After talking to some people and thinking about it all week I decided I wasn’t going to try to go purple again. It didn’t work the first time, why should it magically work the second time? I figured my best bet would be to buy a box of drugstore stuff in a dark brown or black and just do my best to cover the mess.

And then the stylist talked me into letting her try again.

So I sat in her chair and thought “I can’t believe I let her talk me into this. Why didn’t I just say ‘no?’ I’m such a pushover.”

Well thank goodness for being a pushover!

Don’t I look fabulous {minus the fact that I haven’t brushed my hair and that I’m wearing zero makeup and I’m making a goofy face}!?

Check one more thing off my list! :D

UPDATE: Here are some more pictures ya’ll!

Dye my hair purple.

It’s on my list of things to do. It’s something I’ve wanted for a long time. So I made the appointment {and by “I” I mean “Adam”}. I pushed past the nervousness and sat in the chair. I pretended that I wasn’t surrounded by three dozen little old ladies getting their greys covered and certainly thinking I was crazy {and by “three dozen” I mean “maybe three to five”}. I managed to not panic when the peroxide started doing things to my scalp I hadn’t expected. I waited patiently. I didn’t complain when the stylist was less than gentle with my hair {and by “less then gentle” I mean “pulling my hair like one might weed a garden”}. And what to I have to show for it?

My AWESOME purple hair! ---------------->

And by “awesome” I mean “not at all awesome.” And by “purple” I mean “ugly part purple, part weird blue-ish brown-ish grey.”

Apparently my hair just wouldn’t take the color. {Thanks a lot, Hair}. But the stylist said that if we kept trying we’d really damage my hair {Yeah, well, you deserve it, Hair}! So she sent me home with a bottle of fancy conditioner and instructions to deep condition my hair four times this week. Then we get to do the whole. thing. over. again next Saturday. Yippee.

We are however happy with Adam’s new look.

Have you ever had a dye job go horribly, terribly wrong? Oh boy, do I want to hear about it! So tell me in the comments!
