So I got sick of the gray. I refuse to grow old gracefully, I'm going to fight it every step of the way.
I colored my hair with some dye that I had gotten with a fabulous set of coupons (yeah coupons are GOOD!). I was looking to go a dark red since my hair is already a dark brown to start with and I have a thing for red hair.
After two weeks of delays (baseball, cleaning, visitors, kids etc.) I finally got around to doing it. The color was called Deep Burgundy. I was thinking a deep, rich dark red. Well...it's not....It's purple.
As my mother so elegantly put it, "EGGPLANT!"
She's so subtle...
So yeah, purple hair, I think in the future I'll actually go to a stylist to get my hair colored. It's not bad, it actually looks pretty good, but it just wasn't what I was expecting!
Life is like a box of hair color, you never know what you're gonna get!

Hey, Ms. Couponer, if you want to save money, look for a hairstyling school. They always need people to experiment on. :) My hair is pink (on purpose) and sometimes I wonder if people think I'm completely insane to be doing this at my time of life. But, hey, you should make yourself happy, right?
ReplyDeleteThat's a good idea, Lemondrop! I might give that a shot. I'm not sure of your age, but at my age, it's definitely about making myself happy! :) I generally don't care about other people's opinions of my appearance, not in a malicious way, just in a way that says, "I did my time looking good for other people, now I look good for me." :) Rock that pink hair!
