hair color nightmare

bleeding hearts of the world united last week during my attempt to shed my rebellious brunette hair and return to the world of special treatment, laughter, and just plain old fashioned blonde fun.

bethany and i headed out to sally's to buy hair bleach, but since it was closed, and i was too impatient, i was forced to buy some "extreme bleach" hair color (first mistake.) from publix. (second mistake.)

we brought home the product and began the ill-fated dying process. she foiled the bleach through my hair and after a quick rinse and wash, i realized that foiling just wasn't gonna cut it. it didn't really change my look too much so i had her put the rest of the goop all over my hair. (third mistake.) my hair turned a REDISH ORANGE! i. freaked. out.

see for yourself!:
shock and fear!then sadness. =(finally acceptance--if only for a short while.
the very next day, i headed back to sally's to try and get the bleach that i originally wanted to use on my hair. THIS time they were open. i bought the necessary supplies and bethany and i went at it again. we plastered the bleach over my entire head. fourth mistake. my hair turned a freakishly iridescent yellow!


it was horrible. i looked like some white-trash girl who tried to color her hair by herself and it all went horribly wrong! oh wait.... that DID happen. (minus the white-trash part.) hahaha. =) i panicked. again. you'd think that i would have learned from the first THREE mistakes and gone to a professional salon but noooo. i had to be stubborn and try and fix the mistakes myself. (shaking fist at stubborn pride.) i did however call up my sister galilee, and i asked her what i should have done from the very beginning. i was instructed to add some color to what i had left of my hair and pray for the best since i had acted so foolishly already. so i did what i was told. and i sat. and waited.

now? i have a somewhat decent looking color of hair. i will say that i'm MUCH happier now with how i look but its not exactly what i would call "natural" looking.

i can't quite expect the moon
when i've already shot it to bits and pieces. =/
