Hair Tragedy...Once Discoloured Twice Shy!
February 16th 2008 13:06
Give Me your head with hair, long beautiful hair, shining , gleaming".....whatever!! As the song goes.
Today was a day of tragic hair , not only was it tragic but it also cost a fortune by the time I was finished with the mess the hairdresser had created.
I should have known not to muck around with a new hairdresser but one hopes that one can go to another hairdresser other than their regular one and still get the same results.
Wrong!!!! NO No No !!!!!
I tried to convince myself that it would be okay but all I could see was this mass of hair that looked it had been dipped into a bucket of ash. Gone was the light coloured hair and in its place was this grey , non descript mouse colour .
Even the tone of my skin looked green and grey and my whole face looked ashen as if also dropped in abucket of ash.
I decided as I stared in the mirror that the head could not remain so , as I could not live with it a minute longer.
I am sure many have had this episode of a botched hair job!!!! It is definitely not a pretty site especially when you know that you paid an arm and a leg to look like a totally alien person.
I have headed for the chemist and trawled the shelves for a colour that could lift this flat mess I had aquired.
Finally I found two colours that could rectify the mess and make me feel better about the whole episode. Another $29.00 out pocket plus the $100 I had paid to look worse than "Ugly Betty"
Once home I read the instructions on the packets and took to being a novice hairdresser, I was a bit concerned that I would go bald as the first lot of colour was really smelly , obviously the peroxide was strong. My scalp tingled a little but going through the process was to no avail as I am still a horrible smoky, dull grey , cum ash colour.
So back to the drawing board , I have applied the second colour and now am quite convinced all my lovely hair will fall out.
Finally after 3 hours I have some semblance of my natural colour back and the grey and smoky colour I had acquired at the deranged hairdressers today is somewhat more golden with unfortunately some red tinges to it.
I suppose I can accept this outcome for the time being until I go to my regular hairdresser next week who will look at me with a shocked face and roll his eyes at the mess I will front him with.
It is Sunday and my hairdresser is not open until Tuesday so I will have to live with unevenly coloured hair with touches of red in the back of my head as someone unceremoniously pointed out in my family.
I suppose I can be thankful I still have hair after all the chemicals it has been hit with tonight and all the wonderous shampoos and conditioners.
So much for the professional hairdresser who did my hair today , all I can say is I will never , ever go back .
