I'm gonna wash that gray right out of my hair.....

Do you remember my post a few days ago about my gray streak?
I put it off as long as I could, but I decided today that I just couldn't stand one more Pepe' Le Pew joke.


I decided to color my hair.....at home.

Normally, I would go to my favorite salon, and get my most favorite hair stylist (Hey Nikki!) to do the honors. But, with funds being tight, I decided I would just do it myself.

I carefully perused the hair color isle for just the right color. I didn't want a change, I just wanted my hair to be it's "normal" color. After minutes of looking through the 100,000 color options, I chose this most fancy color...

MEDIUM BROWN

I know what you are thinking...."Why did she choose such a FANCY, UNUSUAL color for her at-home attempt?"

You know me, just living on the edge at all times.

First, I opened the box and read allllllllllll the instructions...yup, even the Spanish ones. I decided I didn't have the required 24 hours "test" time; so I, living on the edge again, decided to just GO FOR IT!

I carefully laid everything out so I could reach it.

I took a deep breath, and just went for it.

Here is the BEFORE:

Here is a picture DURING the process. (I took a bunch more, but....ahhhhh.....let's just say I would have had to do a LOT of cropping to make them Internet appropriate)


After the required 30 minutes, I rinsed and wrapped my hair up in a towel to dry a little before the big reveal.

Here is the AFTER:


TAAAAAAAAAH DAAAAAAAAAH!!

The GOOD news is, I think all of my gray is gone. The BAD news is.....I don't think the color turned out to be "Medium Brown". The pictures look close to what I expected it to be, but in real life....IT'S DARK.....and RED......and looks NOTHING like it did before......

Oh well, at least I won't be mistaken for a skunk anymore....
