I am such a chicken shit. I swear to pete.....
With everything going on, I had to postpone my last hair appointment. Normally I'm in there every 6 weeks like clock work. I'm of an age, and my hair is just dark enough that the gray has become more prominent.
Yeah, not really a look I'm going for. Now, I've had noticeable gray since I was 19, but now? Now it's just flat out pissin' me off.
And since I had colored my hair myself for so many years, the over the counter stuff just doesn't cut it any more. Plus....I'll be honest. I make a HUGE mess tryin' to do that.
Well, my hairdresser is on vacation. Me? I've now got the time to get this stuff covered up, spruced up and lookin' good again.
But I'll be damned if anyone else is touchin' this hair of mine. With all the interviews (hopefully) coming up, I really need that additional boost that decent hair gives me. I need an advantage.
So, after callin' my cosmetic guru up at home (yes, I am shameless) she told me where to go and what to buy to get myself through until she gets back next week.
I headed to the beauty supply store armed with her exact words. I found the store manager and asked for assistance in finding exactly what she told me to get.
Except what she told me to get would have resulted in making me an ashy dishwater blond. Blond. Me.
My natural color is flat black. Flat black. Dark. Really dark.
I lighten it up a bit and allow the red highlights to come through.
There is nothing ashy or dishwatery about that.
So.....I stepped outside of my comfort zone and selected a color *I* think will work. I'm planning on doin' the deed tomorrow afternoon.
I grilled the manager at the supply store to make sure I understood EXACTLY how long this will last. If I screw up, what are my options? If it looks really bad, how long do I need to push out the interviews?
I'm goin' in.......I'd promise a picture, but if it turns out it's a non-issue. So this is what I'm gonna do....If it turns out as badly as I know it could, I'll take a picture. It'll help y'all understand why I'd be going underground for a while.
This could be really good, or really funny. Usually, I'm all about the funny. This time? Yeah, not so much.
