Uh Oh....I groomed ME and OOOOPS !

[Baileys_Momma]

Ok V now I am scared to even go to my own hair appointment in like 4 hours hehe.

Here's my story. Not that I tried to do it myself but I went to the hairdresser and decided I was going to go from my natural light brown to BLONDE!! It was a frost (do they still do those?). When she took the towel off my head in front of the mirror I passed out right there. I was not blonde, I was WHITE!! Like gray white and only 21 years old. It was the first time I had my hair colored and she nor I didn't know that my hair would take the color that well. I cried for 2 hours while she stripped my hair to get it back to it's natural color. Ever since, the texture of my hair has not been the same and that was 9 years ago.

Just remember, it's just hair and it will grow back.

After reading the comments - I'm feeling MUCH BETTER ! I'll do alot of things to my hair - but The Donald is NOT one of them lol ....that picture was hilarious - I just asked my husband if it's as bad as it looks and he said not too bad...This is when I LOVE curly hair ! lol

I did the same thing ONCE and learned my lesson. I ended up having to go to a pro to put some of the dark back in because I put toooo much blonde on the top. The way I see it - I paid for the kit and I paid for the pro to reverse my mess...I ended up paying more

And Vee you got to admit when a loving husband says "it's not to bad" it must be bad...He would never hurt your feelings but he can't lie to you either...what's a poor loving husband suppose to do.

I do have to thank you girlfriend for another one of your wonderful stories that always puts a smile on my face. You have such a way with words.

P.S. Are you sure it was the dye and not bird poop from yesterday's story?

Words to live by - for any woman who colors or cuts their hair

Ohh V- I use to wear my hair fairly short with two big blonde stripes in it and I loved it. You remember the trend about 5 years ago with the big stipes. It was one of my favorite styles. Yes- in Korea I messed my hair up twice- once trying to frost it myself with that wand- turned orange and funny stipes and once making it too dark. I was afraid to get it done there cause they have different dyes than we have and brought stuff from home back with me. I have been coloring my hair since high school and now I leave it to the hairdresser cause I just mess it up. Sorry you don't like it and you could just put a color one shade lighter than your own hair on it and it would tone down the highlights.

Pictures !! Plzz

LOL ! I LOVE reading these posts !

and I'm not kidding - after some of your stories ...I don't feel too bad now - Course I could be speaking too soon and maybe my hair will fall out or something ...but I can get used to it. I think a stripe is way better than ORANGE !

And Dwana - I can just see you with your streaks - that was what I tHINK I tried to do - little streaks - but I have more like Road stripes....

Oh - and Cindy - remember - The SAME hubby saying "it's not too bad" is the one who said GO RED a few years back - he actually was the ONLY person who liked my FLAMING ORANGE hair ...does that tell you anything about his Taste ?

Lenora - you get pics AFTER the NEON look calms down

Hey V ~ You can always join my head shaving party my girls are throwing for me at the end of June. Come on, you know you want to show your Courtney Pride LMAO ~ Seriously, I'm kidding!

You can easily fix this your self. get into the strip doing a "reverse frost" (instead of lightening do a darkening in those areas that you don't want light). I did hair for years and also taught. when it comes to color you got to treat it like you were dying a fabric or mixing colors to paint with. refer back to your school days in art class. if you want to neutralize a color, go to the color wheel and apply the opposite color that you have. it's all in the basics.
that is just a quick run down because i have to go to work in a few minutes.LOl sorry. if you need more help i can pm you tomorrow.
and i too would like to see that picture.
p.s. through the years, I have been every color in the rainbow! some by mistake....some on purpose.
shoot.... the different colors and styles out there today no one will even think you made a mistake.

AWWW come on Vee where is the proof ..hahaha I wanta see this .i have a natural skunk stripe myself ..kept well hidden with a bottle of Gardese haha and my stripe is white OMG who said that!

Oh that sucks! Once when I was 16 I wanted to try Summer Blonde it was new back in the 60's. My mother wouldn't let me so I waited until she went to a PTA meeting and my girlfriend and I died my hair. Like my Mom wasn't going to notice! I had mousy med brown hair. Well i went to bed and the next morning I get up, First I left the package on the sink and I had Bright orange hair. My hair was down to my waist and she wouldn't let mr redye it. So i had to grow it out. I looked so ridiculous. I will try and find the picture of when it was half grown out.

Courtney I wish I had a picture but, my dear SIL at 31 had breast cancer and so my brother and their 3 kids all shaved their heads to look like mom - a site to see. We called them the cone heads and everyone survived this because one of the reasons was their sense of humor. The journey and the love was incredible to watch.

LOL!!!!
Oh V, I feel for ya!!!!
OK go back years ago!!!! Many years ago!!!! Remember when Perms first came out? Well, everyone was getting them, soooooo, after Rob went to work I took off and found a place to get one. OMG!!!!!! I was so excited I couldn't stand it, I was going to surprise Rob and have him take me out to dinner.

Well they took the curls out and turned my chair so I could take a look.

What did you do!!!!! I just started to cry, I looked like I put my finger in a light socket! I couldn't control myself, I paid the girl, put a bag over my head, and walked all the way home. I cried all day, when Rob came home he didn't know I was there, because I left my car there. He heard me and came in the room, he had no idea what he was about to see when I came out from under the covers. My eyes were so red, my hair was a mess, and I looked like I got hit by a truck. And the smell from the perm stuff was gross.
I called my friends, all they could say was didn't you ask for the wave, No I asked for a Perm! Well you know they say all you have to do is wash it and it will come out, NOT TRUE!!! I had the worst hair for over a year, and there was nothing I could do about it. I still get mad just thinking about it.
I'll never want what everyone else has ever again.

You know what - If I lived there - I would DO IT WITH YOU ! I'm up for anything - and I think it's Fantastic you're making a party out of it....I just MAY join you ...especially after reading Gina's PERM POST -

I have hair that looks like that NATURALLY Gina - I think my whole body was stuck in a light socket at birth -

The funniest thing about having curly hair is we cannot get STRAIGHT HAIR ! People with straight hair CAN go curly - but very hard to get curly hair totally straight.

Poor Gina - I've never had a perm but I sure relate to THAT story !
