Do blondes have more fun?

Well, well, well. I finally decided that I had had enough being a brunette, I've been talking about dying my hair for a LONG time, and in my defense I may have actually done it one day....Anyway Liam comes home, with grocery shopping, and in the bags are a baby blonde permanent hair dye & bleach....err?? He has obviously had enough of me being a brunette, either that or my moaning about wanting a change (oops)

So i told him it wasn't enough as my hair is very long and thick. So it sits on the shelf for a week or so, and one day I finally plucked up the courage. I enlisted Liam's help whilst the kids were in their rooms....and off we set for blondehood! Ah well if it were only that easy huh!

I decided I had dyed my hair enough times not to read the instructions, this was my first mistake. I set Liam in charge of mixing products up, this was my second mistake. SO Liam starts applying the hair dye, roots first down to the ends (the pre-lightening stuff) 'Oh' I say, 'I don't think that it should be going that light, that quick?' Quick flick through the instructions (by passing the first few steps....) ah ok maybe it's ok?

Half hour later and the dye is all on, all two boxes of it. This is stage one. I then realise that Liam has mixed pot A with B but left pot C on the side, which should have been mixed with pot A& B after you have given them a vigorous shaking. *Bugger* so with the dregs of pot A&B we mix pot C and quickly massage into A & B which is already on head, 'Sh*t, Sh*T, Sh*TTTT'.

So a few pics later and a few conversations on facebook later, I realise that I should have started from tips to roots, 'oh' Liam says, 'I'm sure it will be fine'- famous last words I think!!!!!

So I finally go back upstairs, and look for instructions. Ah-ha, yes I was wrong, liam was wrong and said friend is right, we had f*cked up royally, and gone and made the roots, white, the middle bit orange, the ends dark blonde/brown/orange/copper. Brill! Liam again says, 'it's fine' and 'just tell people you meant to do it like that'...'Ah yes,' I could say, 'well you see my children absolutely loveeeeeee Mcdonalds, so I thought I would try and look like Ronald bloody Mcdonald, just for them, aren't a great mum'..next ensues a mini argument which gets me nor my hair anywhere nearer to being blonde. The Dye has been on over an hour and half, the roots are see through now, the tips no where near being blonde *oh God*....so we wash it off, and I silently cry & pray!

Look in the mirror, and OMG even worse than I thought with dye on, so next step is dying *Blonde* hair to the shade you want. So i see if in the instructions it says anything about bolloxing up the making it blonde part, and says something like, 'well so in this section you do this if you f*cked up the first stage, that even a 5 yr old could do', but no it's more like, 'if you don't have light enough hair already, you are screwed and have just wasted your money'. But being an optimist (did I have any other choice) I put it on, leave it for double the time it is supposed to be on, take it off and yey it's blonde....no actually that's the happy ending I never got. It's actually Carrot/orange/disgusting. F*ckity F*ck, F*ck well the tourettes carried on for far longer....but you get the picture. Moi= not happy.

Liam reckoned i still looked beautiful (aww) however a trip to Boots to buy more hair dye has actually confirmed that 1) he doesn't pay the blindest bit of notice to me, or 2) he is blind. Never had so many *odd* looks in one shopping trip, even when once I wore Bright green flares did it not attract this much attention *shame*

This blonde (carrot/ginger/orange) head does not have more fun. Should have stayed boring but safe brown......! If you are considering doing this at home, TIP 1: start from the ends and work up to the roots. TIP2, read the instructions! TIP 3: go to a bloody hairdresser, after you f*ck it up and try to fix it several times you will have actually spent the same amount of money, and probably shortened your life instead of extending it but chillaxing in a hairdressers chair!!!

PICS: (remember this is a work in progress)
