*SCREAM*

UPDATE: My new Britney inspired 'do is featured at the end of this post.


AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

*deep breath*

OK, so...I was trying to put purple highlights in my hair and someone said that if you have darker hair you have to strip it or bleach it out first and then add the purple. I mean I tried it without the stripping/bleaching and the purple didn't show. last night I stripped some chunks of hair to add the purple and when I was in the shower all of the sudden there is all this HAIR everywhere. Just a bunch of freaking HAIR. I jumped out of the shower and looked in the mirror and there are complete patches of no hair..I mean baldness..bloody HELL I mean my hair fell OUT in the areas that I tried to strip!! FELL FREAKING OUT!!!! I have HUGE patches of no hair all over my flipping head!!

*deep breath*

After sobbing and crying and FUH-REAKING out all night, I'm going in to the hair dresser to see if anything can be done. But after talking to her on the phone, I'm not too hopeful. It's STILL falling out little by little. So, most likely we're going to have no choice but to shave my head. *choke* Shave my head. So that my hair can grow back in, healthy.

Oh my word, I think I'm going to vomit.

This was me at the end of February (click to embiggen:

This was me right after I did the initial dye and cut (click to embiggen):

And, if I'm brave enough I'll post a pic when I get back today.

Let this be a lesson to you all...leave it to the pros. Don't be a moron like me.

Edited to add my new do:

i'm sorry, heidi...start a new trend. you shave your head...i'll shave mine.

yeeeeeah...i'm totally kidding about that, too. took me 3 years to grow my damn hair out.

crossing my fingers for ya...get a weave!!

momof3darlings said...

This had BETTER be an April Fool's joke...seriously.....cuz if not, I'll be cryin' right there with ya!

Tracy said...

Bloody Hell! While I think you will look adorable bald, I am so sorry you have to go there.

C.C. and Double T said...

Oh my! I am SO sorry!!!

Melanie Blair said...

Ohhh, I like the idea of starting a new trend. You know, I've always thought you were kind of a trend-setter. Not that I'm gonna follow that trend...but maybe. Think of it...no more "bad hair days", no more sticky little finger putting goodness knows what in your hair, shampoo? who needs it? No more expensive haircuts. Feeling better yet? I'm trying girl!

Honestly, I hope the hairdresser can help you out in some way. I'm SO sorry. Good luck!

-stephanie- said...

I like your short hair, but I'm not buying the hair falling out because of it being April Fools Day. Tomorrow if you are still crying about this, then I will be sad with you.

webberpa said...

You and Brennan can be twins! How cute. This MUST be an Aprils fools joke, I mean, seriously, who put purple highlights in their hair?

missy said...

bloody hell? i didn't know you were british. i loved it. but i don't love what has happened to your hair. i would be mortified. but i am sure they will be able to help you somehow today. you can fix almost any problem by throwing a little money at it. and this sounds like it is worth any amount of money.

He And Me + 3 said...

Yikes...that was some experience with the hair dye. I dye mine all the time and now I am freaking out. I know it will all be fine...post a picture so I can tell you so.

P.S.He loves you.. said...

you know if it weren't april fools I might believe you!

In all the 17 plus years I've done hair bleaching it never makes it fall out..only perming and at that it just melts..so liar liar pants on fire..or show me a pix and i might believe it ;)

Ray, Brandi and Our Girls said...

I tried to put straightener on my hair once. Bad idea. I had the same problem. I truly feel your pain. If it helps, I have long very curly hair now.

Shawn said...

OH sweetie....I have no words for you.

I did hair for years and never had that happen. What type of bleach did you use? I had a young girl come in once and ask for a perm, I knew immediately there was something wrong with her hair. I asked what she had done to it and she replied "I bleached it". I asked what bleach she had used and she answered "Clorox"...I kid you not she used Clorox on her hair. I obviously refused to do ANYTHING to her hair.

For what it's worth I think you could totally pull off the Sinead O'Connor look, you're sassy!

Good luck to ya

CntryMomma said...

Oooo, I'm so sorry. I figure my hair is the last great part of me and I end to hang on to it so I just pay the professionals. ;o)

purplemoose said...

Doggone, it's too short for Locks of Love. So sorry to hear this Heidi! (Although I'm hoping and praying REAL HARD here that other commenters are right and you're taking advantage of the day to twist our little hearts!!!)

Pilar Stark said...

Well girl, I bet this is an April Fools joke.... come on, let us see you hair :)

Heidi said...

Goin all Britney Biatch on us! I like it!

Rhonda said...

Ha! Happy April Fools to you too! Sorry don't believe ya...not going to be a fool! If I am wrong...I will apologize and scream and cry with you!

Emily said...

omg. I don't know whether you're serious or if this is an April's Fools Day joke but I'm waiting to find out...my heart is racing!

Lauren said...

My heart is pounding and I think I might cry! If this is an April Fools, it is really mean!

Heidi @ Tayterjaq's Rebels said...

You had better be kidding!!!!
If not...do not shave it....just let it grow out and try to do a comb over...it's works for guys, right?!
I am truly hoping you are trying an April fool's joke here. I forgot it was even the first until I read other comments. I totally freaked out when I first read your blog. Why doncha just give me a heart attack while you're at it.

Heidi @ Tayterjaq's Rebels said...

I do like the second picture though. That is a really nice cut/length. I just got my hair trimmed today after putting it off since September. I am not a procrastinator or anything.

weasle said...

{{hugs}} It honestly doesn't look horrible.

This isn't the time to mention that I gave up dying my hair for Lent, is it?

Kasey Hunt said...

Shave your head, I'll call ya Britney!!! ponytails and headbands!!

Khadra said...

Oh my...
Um well
you win.

Ive never done this to my head before. Usually your life is on track with mine, but um, Im happy to let you win this one.

Sneaky Momma said...

Oh, Heidi...
I'm hoping this is a joke. If so, you had me until I read the comments! :)

amanda said...

so the only time i've ever heard about people's hair falling out is when they bleach and bleach and bleach. bleaching once...not so much. but i'll wait and see the 'ha ha ha' april fools post as well. :0)

Brooke said...

Oh no! I'm screaming for you. I had a bad experience with trying to color my own hair and it turned Irish setter red, but thankfully nothing fell out. Anyway, I had always thought of cutting my hair super, super short to start over with healthy, natural colored hair. Who knows, you might set a new trend for us :)

Sarah said...

I hope you are April Fooling us! I had tiger looking stripes the last time I tried to highlight my hair at home. That was 11 years ago...and it was the last time I ever tried anything on my own. Just not worth it. So bald, huh? Not the look you were going for. It's edgy - way more extreme than purple highlights!

Shawn said...

You're not right!

Elaine at Matters of the Heart) said...

You are too funny.....Good one.

Rhonda said...

I knew it!!! I so knew it. My heart was pounding for you and thought ...nope she is trying to get us. I guess I know you pretty well! Love your kiddos laugh in the video!

Heidi @ Tayterjaq's Rebels said...

That is a great giggle. Dontcha just love little kids laughs. They make you feel like laughing just because they sound so sweet and fun.

Totally knew (hoped) it had to be a joke....so when do we get to see the real pictures??? My cut is boring...just a few inches shorter than it was. And I forgot to take before pictures so it wouldn't make any sense to post after pictures. It pretty much looks like my profile picture since I had my hair the same length then. I am too chicken to try different colors.
You Go Girl!! Let's see that purple!!!

Eyeglasses & Endzones said...

Well....I think that it will all come out ok in the end...sometimes we freak out and end up spending more than if we would have just gone ourselves to the salon!!! I think you look great...even if you do have purple hair...LOL

Domestically Disabled Girl said...

Well, and I was all feeling sorry for you. Geesh! Cute cut though!

Miller Racing Family said...

Purple highlights, WHAT! You are a stronger woman than I. Sorry I don't have a wild side. I just love the video. Have a great April Fools day!

Xazmin said...

You are mean! I love it though!!

Xazmin

Ang said...

OH Heidi...you are in such big trouble!!!! I am reading that just aching for you inside until I reach the end.....OH I will think of something for you in return:)

Jilann said...

You are so bad!!

Heidi @ Blue Eyed Blessings said...

I just knew it had to be a joke! How awful would that be!? Although, I don't know, you might be able to pull off a shaved head...you think? :)

Lisa said...

Goober!

-stephanie- said...

Thank God it's a joke. Although you and B looking like twins would be cute.

Cute, cute baby laugh.

Khadra said...

that was worth it for the baby giggles

which I just typed GOGGLEs twice.

sigh.

Shelby, Patrick and Kids said...

Good one!

Heidi said...

That is the freakin' funniest thing i've heard in a long time!! The baby laughing of course. Even Roxy (the dog) in her sleepiness, looked up and came over to the computer! HAHAH!

Good joke! You are smooth.

purplemoose said...

Emily said...
