a good day to dye

on tuesday night, i thought (wrongly) that it was a good day to dye.  my hair is in need of a trim but since i am feeling kinda frugal and i don't want to go back to work (AT ALL), i REALLY don't like to spend money on 'frivolous' things.  ENTER the drugstore hair dye kit.  awhile back (think 14 years or so) i was blonde.  for a while, i was white blonde...but since then, my hair has darkened and my usage of blonde highlights and dye has really lessened.  but, there i was looking for dye and i thought...'hmmm, golden blonde, that sounds summer-y and fun'.  that was my first mistake.  my second mistake was buying and actually using the aforementioned dye.  yes, yesterday my hair was an unfortunate shade of trailer park orange.  let me just say, it was BAD.  i sent in an SOS to my sister's sister (my sister by association?) to bring me some BROWN hair dye, which she did, and this morning set about rectifying my situation. 
i can only call the resulting 'burnished orange' a very dubious improvement.

and, NO, i'm NOT posting a picture.
at least not with the wound still so fresh.

  1. so the golden brown didn't do much better than the golden blond? what a shame. still -your orange was gorgeous compared to the orange i experienced...

  2. Oh no! I'm sorry it didn't work out better. The name sounded almost tasty (golden cappuchino), but I guess tastebuds are not good deciders in hair dyes!
