fatrockstarI am wearing curlers in my hair. The application of heat in this fashion seems to be the only thing that gets the frizz out of it. As I rolled up each section of hair I could see that it's been approximately 1/4" since my last attempt to dye it. This is a little upsetting, because there's more grey there than I ever want to see on my own head.
A month or two ago I took a coupon that Allison gave me to her salon. She was pretty sure they'd be able to match my crayon red to what I already have. When I got there the colorist was doubtful, but convinced me to let her try. The result was not red, but brown. I was horrified. Now instead of looking like an aging punk rocker, I looked like a preppy punk rocker. The effect was upsetting and I was not charged for the service. I came home and did a full-on application of the remaining Special Effects color in an attempt to save it.
Since that day I have been searching for some way to salvage my color without making my hair fall out. I'm really uncertain how doing the regular process over the badly-colored one will turn out, even though I'm sure I have the right ingredients for it. PLUS, I can't have my arms over my head for the length of time it will require to get everything covered. I'll need help. Ken has offered, but he's a dude, and dudes don't do that kind of thing the way a chick would. I'd be too worried about it to let him try anyway.
In the meantime I have found a semi-permanent color that will brighten up the red I already have. It's cheaper than what I was using before and available at the local beauty supply house. It also doesn't come off on my pillowcases all splotchy, which is nice.
Looks like it's about time to remove these curlers. My hair holds a curl like nobody's business. This is a blessing and a curse.
