It Is Done

I spent all day yesterday afternoon working on my hair.


I bleached for an hour and still couldn't get all the color out of the ends. But, I didn't want to fry it out, either, so I just went with the lightest I could get it. Then I rinsed and dried it and applied the purple with a small paintbrush. Rolled it all up with a foil ball and threw a shower cap on my head for another half hour.

Washed, dried and voila!

This should last about 4 weeks or so. We'll see. I guess when it starts to grow out or fades, I'll just use my regular 121A from Miss Clairol and go back to my normal look. :-)

We live in a small town...it'll be fun to see people's reactions. Or if they'll even notice...There are a few "goth" kids around. LOL.

    Cool! The smaller the town the better the reactions. Two of the wife's friends were cosmetology students back in the day. They sported various shades of purple on a regular basis.
