Guessing that no one else is having a worse hair day than myself today (lost about 12 inches), I am in desperate need of hearing your stories!
To make things worse, I decided to go for a colour change, which was a big, big, BIG mistake... Now I am stuck with short hair in a shade I don't even like! I cannot wait to go back my usual colour (chestnut/auburnish).
How long do I need to wait before I can dye again, by the way?
Cowards dye many times.........
(I apologise, but I could not resist the pun.) Do you like your hair shorter?
Cheers,
John
Well, I can't answer your questions but I had a bad hair day on Monday. I got up at my normal 4:30 AM and went into the shower. For some reason I remember having soap on my mind and I went and soaped my body up as I normally do. I got out I dried off and combed my hair as I normally do, but then noticed for some reason my hair was flat. I didn't think anything of it. But every time during the day I stopped in the bathroom at work I noticed in the mirror how flat my hair was. And then it dawned on me in the afternoon. I forgot to shampoo my hair that morning. Normally I shampoo my hair first and then soap up my body. But for some strange reason I by passed shampooing and went straight to saoping. :lol: I never really washed my hair. Now that was a bad hair day. :lol::lol:
If you got it done at a salon, can they do some sort of corrective color thing? Last Christmas, I tried to go red and the result was atrocious. And I told her immediately that I didn't like it and she did several more color treatments in the salon that day so that when I left I had something that I could live with. i also got a demi permanent shade that washed out in about a month and a half or so. I am not sure what color you have though so I wouldn't know what to suggest.
I've always been happy with foils though - you get two or sometimes three shades woven into what you have to give your hair some dimension. When I was trying to go from blonde to my natural light brown I had something similar done - I had them try to match my natural shade with an allover base color, and then she foiled in a few blonde strands so that i could sort of ease into the darker shade.
And, the worse hair cut I ever had was when I went from shoulder length to short, and the hair dresser got it uneven. So the only thing to do was to even it up which meant that I had a short boy haircut. And I do not look good with boy hair cuts. Some ladies can pull that off but I am not one of them. I cried. to this day, I won't let anyone take off more than 2 inches and that's really pushing it.
Just think "locks of love, locks of love locks of love...." You did a good thing.

It was more than just a desire to have my hair shorter. Needed to get it cut so I am glad I have done that. The rest I will deal with, I guess :)
Virgil> Thanks for sharing! :p
Shalot> I dyed it myself... and mine is kind of boyish cut too... one and half inch at the longest places.
You know, the resemblance is uncanny... the colour too! Though my eyes are not half as beautiful!Quote:

Think of all the money you'll be saving on shampoo, conditioner, and product.
Virgil, did you have Lit Net on the brain, while showering? ;):lol:Quote:

It wasn't very expensive, but it was a disaster and I had to wait a bit before getting another one. That became a whole 'bad hair month'!
Scher, I think you can have color adjusted right away - go back and complain. They should be able to tone it down or do something else to it, so you will be happy. My friend in Michigan has gone through the same thing and she had hers corrected; then she liked it much better. Good luck.
I have short hair now and like it, although this last perm is not holding up like I hoped:( and I have such thin limp hair so lately everyday has been a fair to bad hair day.
papaya, this new avy is a total scream! I am laughing so hard.:lol: Is that a toupee I see on top that dog's head???:lol: That is not our Scher is it, with her new hair????? :lol:Quote:

As ya'll know the plant i work at is outside and of course I had to go out to the plant several times today and of course it was raining so by mid morning my blown out straight hair looked like a big nappy headed mess.:(
