Juliana's next look
Heh. I doubt I'll be moving away from the bangs-in-face aesthetic anytime soon - it's just the back that gets shorter.
This convo reminds me to buy really red hair dye this weekend.
I would like to put in a pimp for Walgreen's SPLAT! semi-perm red, as well as the permanent dye High Definition in Ruby (from Dark & Lovely, so you need to look in the "ethnic" section). I need to take pictures, but my hair is currently at that bright cherry red I so love.
but my hair is currently at that bright cherry red I so love.
I do, too. It's super purty.
I've often been tempted by the great reds in the black hair care, but wondered if it would fry my fine straight hair.
Feria's Cardinal gives me a nice red I like, but I've been playing pretty straight and narrow for a while. I'd like a little jazzier.
You think I'd be cool with the Dark and Lovely?
Anyone still up (in inside pants or otherwise)? I tweaked my back badly and resorted to taking a leftover Vicodin earlier, and then my brain decided that this would be a good night for insomnia. I can't take even half of an Ambien because of potential interactions, so I'm lying here staring at the ceiling. I have student-led conferences all day tomorrow, no regular classes, and I have to be at work even earlier than usual as a result. The first conference is at 7:30, so my alarm will be going off in just over five hours. Not the end of the world and certainly nothing compared to having to spend the night in the ER, but I'm feeling frustrated.
Eta: ita, I can't believe the nurse hit on you knowing you were being medicated. What an ass. I hope you're away from him and feeling better now.
Eta2: I'm going to try to sleep again. Night (or day), all.

Lord, but she was exquisite.
ita, that nurse needs to be smacked upside the head. Hard.
Burrell and Plei, thanks for the input-- I think might at least try going somewhere between the two, which of course is counter to what all the mags tell you to do, which is go lighter in the summer, darker in winter. Contrary. That's me.
Kristin, I hope you're sleeping the sleep of the angels.
I have a new coworker. I don't like her. She's a FUSSER. Wah.
My toddler has been replaced by some kind of tantrum demon. Please send Buffy.
It's 23F this morning. Possibilities of me leaving the house are slim to none.

The High Definition one absolutely does not. They're designed to be uber-conditioning, probably because the Dark & Lovely people are assuming that it's getting put on over already-processed hair. My hair has been so much healthier since I switched away from the Feria - even my hairdresser says so! The schedule is every 3-4 months, the perm dye. Then about 2 weeks after the perm dye, the semi-perm. About 6-8 weeks later, the semi-perm again - not because it fades, but because my hair grows so fast that my roots get ugly. It keeps it fairly cherry.
ita, what a jackass that nurse was. I'm sorry.
Kristin, I hope you slept.
