This post is in remembrance of #shithair2008 #shithaircirca2008 #stillrecovering
I want to thank Bekah S. for this post, it was a great idea to bring this into light...
PLEASE DON'T DYE YOUR OWN HAIR IN QUARANTINE!!!!!!!!
I know that we all want some change right now! Trust me - I cut my own hair!! (I'v done it before, didn't turn out as I wanted this time - that's a whole other bad idea post)
I have super dark hair - most say its black, but really it's super super dark brown. I have some amazing friends that have beautiful hair...blonder hair.... and well I wanted it too. The grass is always greener right? How bad could it be to dye your hair with your best friends while having a girls weekend??
Back in 2008 I don't ever remember being home. I was always with my 3 best friends. (please start singing "we are the 4 best friends that anyone could have") I would literally spend weeks at a time at Bekah's house! She introduced be to The Hills, Inverted Iced Carmel Macchiatos, and Chonga Bagels, and so much more to list. We ate brownie batter like it was going out of style and made home made pizzas. I even remember making my Facebook with her!!!
Ok, blast from the past.. I am feeling super old with that last tidbit. But, back to the story..
So I wanted blonde hair.. Blondes have more fun right?? WRONG! Both blondes and brunettes have equal fun lol Bekah got blonde hair and I wanted it too, so we went to the store and planned to dye my hair, I mean how hard could it be.
It's hard folks! There is a science to it and I applaud all that have gone to beauty school!
We bought the dye and went to work! Kona was with us too, the rest of the night was a blur really. I remember rinsing my hair and hearing "shit" (lol, hence the name shithair)
I looked in the mirror and started crying, my once dark beautiful and now appreciated color was the color of uneven dehydrated piss. I KID YOU NOT!!!! Lots and lots of tears were shed that night. Bekah and Kona went to the store for a darker color so we could try and fix what had happened, I mean we were professionals now right?!? It ended up a strawberry(ish) blonde color..but it wasn't that color also...? I became my best friend Savanah's twin. I was hoping my mom wasn't going to kill me. LOL
Honestly I couldn't tell you exactly how the song started but it goes like this:
"shit hair, oh shit hair got me a box of shit hair"
And to this day, I'll never live that down, nor forget that tune. And since then I have dyed my hair once -- professionally, and after that I just keep it dark. Dark brown suits me.
We went on a mission trip a few weeks later, some thought it was my original color - bless their soul. My friends said it was fine, they had to have lied to me. LOL I couldn't wait to have it dark again, it took numerous times of dying it black to have it fixed (from it lightening up after awhile)
So please, for the goodness of your beautiful hair, leave it to the professionals. I know you miss your hair stylist, I miss mine too (that's why I cut my own hair! After Shit Hair Im not worried about bad cuts lol) Please, please, please learn from my #shithair
