YIKES
I have colored my hair off n on for years. I was tow head blonde when I was young, and it got darker as I got older.
A color I would describe as "MOUSE" the last few years it seems when I color, no matter if I use Ash it still brings out golden highlights and it tends to be more of a "strawberry" blonde. I have let it be mouse with gray for well over a year.
Well I don't know why, but I decided to "brighten" it up the other day.. I had color in the cabinet. I decided to leave it on for the maximum time. Rinsed it off... and YIKES.. talk about Brassy blonde.. I think I looked like a TUBA...LOL.. so the next day, I had another box of coloring and thought oh ok I will bring it up a bit more and get rid of some of this "red/gold"
OMG :yikes: what kind of whacked out blonde is this............
Saturday was cold, rainy, we were going into town.. I plunked a hat on my head...... You have to understand I DO NOT wear hats.
it was a blue ski type winter hat.. I was in the hair color aisle. John siad what r u doing.. I said I have to do something with this hair I HATE it. HMMMM he says. and walks off to let me ponder all the various colors... staying away from blonde... on to light browns........... I finally decided on light almond brown.....
by the time we got home, and things put away, etc. I didn't feel like fooling with my hair.
Sunday am I got up, made breakfast .. did dishes.. looked in mirror .. and grabbed the box .... I came out and turned on the timer.. ok 25 minutes... John looked over and said OMG.... it looks RED. well I knew i had to get some red back in to pick up the brown tones. I went in and smooshed it around some.. ok, under the red tone I see an ashy brown.. came back out, he said how long does it stay on.. I said 25 minutes..
John said what are you going to do if it is RED. I said then I am going to Cindy (my beautician) he said whats she going to do.. I said FIX IT. he said hmph.
Off to the shower I went.. of course cringing the whole time thinking...please dont be purple or green..LOL
Ok it is a light almond :Clap-Hands: :Clap-Hands: :happydance: :happydance: not quite as dark as I wanted... i should have left it on another 10 min I think, but I was Nervous .......... I used the hair dryer... OH YEAH definately a color I can live with..
I walked out of the bathroom..... to get John's reaction............ He said OH wow I like it It LOOKS REALLY GOOD.
