September 26, 2011--Blonde

I dyed my hair yesterday before church. It didn't look very good. I was inspired to dye my hair Saturday because I was working in the health and beauty section, putting hair dye on the shelf. I got to looking at it and thinking about it, and thought, "Hmmm, I should go blonde again." I was blonde several years ago and thought it was fun, although I had really messed it up when I tried it myself. Actually, I've messed it up just about every time I've tried dying my own hair, but silly me, I thought I'd try again. I guess I thought maybe my trouble was that I bought the cheap kind and if I bought the $10 box it might work out better than the $3 box.

Like I said, I dyed it right before church. It was so uneven and patchy I borrowed Abby's bandana headband to wear over it. Besides having dark patches, it was also a really bad color of blonde--more of a yellow. Because I didn't want to look like that longer than I had to, I went to the Smart Style in my Walmart that afternoon and got it fixed. I also had it cut while I was at it. Three hours and $70 later, I looked a lot better. My hair is now a very light blonde, and it's short. It's actually shorter in the back than in the front and slopes down at an angle. I really like it. I only have one picture so far that I took on my webcam, because I'm having camera issues again. (One is lost and the flash won't work and the other has a broken battery compartment door.)

So here's the "new me." It looks like my eyes are really dark but they aren't. The contrast isn't quite as dramatic as it looks in the picture, but this is the best I can do on the webcam.
