well, I showed those stubborn greys!
The other day M pointed out how grey my hair has become.
So I killed him.
No, no, no ... I just maimed him a bit.
It is grey and I usually cover it up with temporary dye, but it had been a while, like ... hmmm ... last year maybe? So I went to Sprawl-Mart and hunted through the colors until I found one I thought would be good for summer. I think it was called something like "airhead blonde who might be a whore." I figured it would turn my grey into nice highlights.
Last night I finally had the chance to do it. I mixed the stuff up, I smacked it on my head, I started reading about how long to leave it on ...
40-45 minutes? Well that's new I thought to myself. This new formula really stinks too ...
It was abuot this time that I saw on the box the mighty word: PERMANENT
At this moment I could only do one thing - laugh myself silly and accept the fact that dye or no dye, I'm a blonde at heart.
I did not leave it on for 40-45 minutes. I left it on about 6 and that was enough. I actually like the color it is, but I'm going to be really crabby when my roots start growing out.
Funny thing is, M didn't even notice the change in color. Oh it did change! My grey hairs are now "airhead blonde who might be a whore" and had I left the concoction on the full amount of time all I'd need is street corner to complete the look.
They say that blondes do have more fun. They just don't explain it's because of the things they do and a fortunate ability to laugh at themselves after (or during) the fact!
At least that's what it was for me. Then again, it could have just been the fumes ...
