Resolution for 2005 - I will never, ever, ever, color my hair myself again. Never. Ever. Really.
Toddson! Your hair is so gorgeous. Why would you go coloring it anyway?
You were very nearly devoured by a giant demon snake. The words 'let that be a lesson' are a tad redundant at this juncture.

Goodbye and Good Riddance 2004: Well, I Wasn't Expecting That.
Every year we watch the Charlie Brown special, do the Snoopy dance, wish everybody a Merry Christmukkah, and thank our Secret Santas in the good riddance thread. Which is this one, in case you were wondering. Oh, and 2004? Don't think we've forgotten about you.

Toddson, call salons and ask if they have someone who does "corrective color." They'll fix you up.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
See, I've never been in that place. I've been in "I will never, ever, ever go to a salon to get my hair colored again." place, however.
Yup. Except for the monstrously expensive guy who did my hair for my wedding, every salon dye job I've ever had has been an unqualified disaster. My hair is not safe in other people's hands.

Thanks for the compliment and advice - it's growing out, I'm getting my hair cut Saturday which will get rid of most of it (my hair grows fast). But I do learn ... this was just kind of embarrassing.
As to why? well ... all the other kids are doing it!

Okay, I'm somewhat mollified by this. Though I should note that several times during the DC F2F I had to remind myself that petting your hair would be socially forward, not to mention inappropriate on my honeymoon.

My hair is not safe in other people's hands.See this is why I stick with Denise, even through the cuts where we haven't communicated well with each other. Her cuts are always good, even when they're not what I thought I asked for, and she is a fantastic colorist.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
I colored my hair once. The result was less than pleasing. Unless hair the color of old brass is pleasing. (Hint: not on me, it ain't.) My stylist forgave me and cut off about 4 inches of the offending color, and told me to never try that again. I haven't.

Sail! I got your card. It is so cool. Thank you.
In other news, if my Sekrit Santa gift was supposed to arrive by now, it has not, and Godzilla should eat the postal service. If all is as it should be, please disregard this message.

The artist formerly associated with cupcakes.
said it'd wash out in 6 to 12 shampoos. Two weeks later ... it's still there. It's been described as mauve, burgundy (where it's dark), and pink (where it's light).
Get a bottle of original formula Pert shampoo, and a good deep conditioner. Wash your hair 4 or 5 times with the Pert, then *coat* your hair in the deep conditioner. Wrap your head in plastic, then a towel. Leave the conditioner on for 30 minutes, then rinse. That should remove *most* of the remaining dye.
... and this reminds me that I need to check in with The Cutest Gothy Hairdresser Ever and see when she'll have time to color my hair.
