This is a sad story of a hair coloring goof. (all similarities to the person posting this is purely coincidental....)
Did anyone ever tell you never to make a phone call after you've mixed hair color?
Well no one ever told this sorry ol' Crone.
What happened?.... I can hear you asking.
Well the SOC (stands for "Sorry Ol' Crone") bought two boxes of hair color, same manufacturer but of different colors.
Again you ask....why?
Because she's bored, and tired of looking so drab grey, and she'd seen a lady of her own generation with her grey hair dyed two similar colors. Lighter in front, darker in back. Professionally done, no doubt.
Just after the colors had been mixed in the bottles, the SOC remembered a call she had to make, so she ran to the other room and did so.
When she returned to the bathroom.....oh oh.....which bottle of color is for the bangs and which one was for the rest????
Both bottles looked exactly alike and had no differentiating marks.
Well, says she, I'm a proud high school graduate of the Public School system, I'll be able to figure it out just by looking at them.
Ta Da!!!
SOC is very proud of herself. Maybe Smug even.
She commences to put the obviously lighter color on her bangs and the darker on the rest of her head.
She, the high school graduate that she is, sets the timer per the directions, adding extra time, per directions, for her "resistant grey hair". Who says public school graduates can't read?
All is well as she watches the Today Show while the magic takes place.
When the timer goes off, she skips to the shower and washes "that grey right outta her hair" while smiling a smile.
Then she, again smugly, grabs her hair dryer with much anticipation.
Rrrrr Rrrrr says her hair dryer.....but her hair looks odd.
Hmmm....what could have gone wrong? again you're asking such logical questions.
The colors got mixed up.
She now has very dark bangs and lighter hair all over, just the opposite of her plan.
What will SOC do now?....
She'll ask for help at the QuiltingBoard, of course!!
I used (I mean SOC used....lol) non-permanent coloring that washes out in a month.
Is there anything I (again I mean SOC) can do to hurry it up?
Thanks
