I tried to add purple highlights earlier in the year, but failed because they were too light and just blended into my hair. Then on Friday I tried again, going a *bit* darker at my visit to the Academy of Cosmetology. I left the school feeling elated - I LOVED my hair. Loved it. Rob? Eh...not so fond of the cut. What is it about guys wanting women to have long curly hair? It's just not practical for me right now. Wait a second..practical? Woo cares about practical - I just don't want to take care of long curly hair.
While we were there there was this older lady - probably about 80? Anyway..she was getting her hair done and she had them dye it VIOLET purple. And I meaan, IT. WAS. PURPLE. LOL I was like "Uh, was that a mistake? Does she KNOW her hair is purple?" And they told me she did know. She WANTED it purple. She's lived her life and now she's doing what she wants. She's pretty much housebound and was just looking for a little thrill. "Good for her!" I cheered in my head. Out loud I said, "That'll probably be me. By the time I get the courage to just say screw it and got purple, I'll be 80!" Hardy har har.
I don't WANT that to be me...I don't WANT to wait until I'm 80 to do things that other people might think are stange, dangerous or don't quite understand, damnit. I want to do them NOW while I can fully enjoy them.
But I have to ask you - do we do our own GYN exams? No. Do we do our own dental exams? No. Vision? No. We leave these things up to the trained professionals.
As we should with our hair.
Oops.
The back is still brown, though. *ahem*
Side by side comparison from yesterday to today (click to make bigger, if you need to):

I think it is SO fun to use the level one dyes and play around. I see a trip to CVS in MY near future too!
hmmm yeah maybe so..of coarse it does goes with your outstanding personality!
I actually like it better! More you & your personality coming out. I love when you push those limits as I was never able to. Love Mom
I.LOVE.IT!! i think it looks great!
and, heidi...is that a nose ring?
i think i just fell in love with you a little bit more! i want one...have for a while, but, i'm chicken!
I love it! GO YOU!
I like it and don't think having the front purple and the back brown is a problem. Grab one of your daughters clips, twist a chunk from your bangs, poof it forward a bit and clip towards the back. So cute!
I actually like it! It's sassy and fun. Will you keep it? Might be easier than try to correc it. I hear that is a huge pain...
your right, it is just hair but I think that its kinda fun.
I'm with Nikki! I like it and am also too chicken to get my nose pierced. Well, that and I always get a veto from Aaron when I bring it up. It's my nose damn it, but I guess if he wanted to get his eyebrow pierced or something I would put my foot down. Oh well!
I think it looks great! You should definitely keep it!! It's your head, do with it what you want!! (and what is it with men and long hair. I really prefer mine short but Dan grumbles about it so much I end up letting it grow out again)
I think it is funky and cool:-)
Looks great, Heidi! Too easy to always stick with the same-old same-old. You're inspiring me to try something new and fun...
It's pretty cool though :)
I like your hair...the cut AND the color!
Oh, and thanks for the visual...the GYN self exams had me cracking up!
Fun!! My sister is very into dyeing her hair- she's done orange and red so far. Her first license has her with orange hair, actually. Sadly, I never got to see it in person, haha!
In college was when I learned that it's never a good idea to dye your own hair! Good for you, though, for seizing the day! And the cut is super cute!
Very cool!
I had a second cousin who dyed her hair blue. Think neon blue. She was an artsy type of character and it worked for her. I like the new color on you. It's vibrant!
I laugh beacuse we never learn! I always end up doing the same thing, swear I'll never do it again, forget, think I'm Superwoman & do it again!
Did somebody say purple? ;) Me like it!!
Did somebody say purple? ;) Me like it!!
Yes, this is why I left it to the professionals... I know I would do the same thing. :)
