What...a..day... I turn my car on to leave to drop my daughter off at school and of course the light signaling a flat tire comes on. I get out and check the tires, they looked good enough to keep driving, so I did. Fingers crossed it's just the cooler weather causing the air to contract. My oil change notification has also been on my dash for the last week, which I've been utterly in denial of - you don't want to know how little money I have in my bank account and after all of this, for SOME REASON I thought it would be a good idea to buy some hair dye - it wasn't.
I dyed my hair this morning and mistakenly used two times the correct amount of developer than I should have. After wondering how I had so much leftover dye AND why my scalp was BURNING, it all came full circle when I discovered the 1:1 ratio I should have used, was in fact 1:2. Thirty minutes in and about to wash this stuff out, I realize I've made a huge mistake.
The roots of my hair turned out, well, orange. It was meant to be a natural dark strawberry blonde (as pictured to commemorate the color it once was (AGEbeautiful - Dark Strawberry Blonde 7RC )) and instead there are colors of bright orange, soft orange, and reddish/pink hues. Not to mention I'm pretty sure my scalp has a chemical burn. Such is life I guess.
On the bright side, I went on a run, my kids were in bed before 9, I even read a chapter in a book, and now, I am sitting in bed writing about my hair dying experience - because my hair strands all died a little today (hair "dying".. get it? ). Not to worry, coconut oil is thoroughly lathered in my now very dry hair and I ordered a deep conditioning hair mask to bring these locks back to life.
