Ranting, Raving and Renewing

Yep...that's the best way to describe my hair right now. I was trying to save money and so I called my hairdresser Lila, and told her I would still come Thursday for a haircut, but was going to color my VERY GREY hair on my own this time to save some money....BAD, BAD, BAD idea!! So, I went and bought what I THOUGHT was "natural medium brown" (what she said to get) but aciidentally bought "natural medium MAHOGANY brown" which means EVERY strand of grey picks up the base color which was RED!! I put the color on, noticed it was pink, and as I was cutting a friend's hair here at the house, kept commenting on how pink the color was and then, looking in the mirror as it was sitting, realized it was turning red. Just thought and even said "aw, it'll be alright" I have colored many of my friend's hair and my own in the past. If Mary Margaret or Olivia are reading this, they know the many color "blunders" we've had before....but usually, in the past I have intentionally colored my hair red or blonde...whatever I felt like. But, since I have started with the premature greying, I have always let Lila color it when she cuts it.....just easier. Needless to say, I called Lila, after washing my hair for 30 minutes, 15 times.....after my friend here laughed at me :) and Lila said "yeah, if you would've just used brown, you'd have been fine, but I can fix it." But, I have to wait until Thursday. She is booked solid and if it were an emergency, I know she'd come to my house if she could.....but since I am home now anyway, not feeling well, I need to let it sit for a few days and condition too....(IT FEELS LIKE STRAW) :) ..... NO pictures are being posted so don't even ask. Jeff called and when I told him, he laughed.... A LOT and said "you've done worse" to which my response was.... "to Mary Margaret and Olivia." HAHA!! Anyway, I'll stick to just cutting others hair and leaving my own alone!!!! Don't let this discourage all of the grey-haired people out there from coloring your hair at home....just buy the right color.
