What a lame mid life crisis

[sienamystic]

I kind of want to dye my hair some crazy color. I have dark brown hair and haven't dyed it at all save for a Manic Panic red that did nothing except give me red highlights if I stood in the exact right spot in the sun. The idea of bleaching my own hair seemed like a ticket to bald spots, so I just never tried it. All of a sudden, years after the normal hair experimentation era, I want to do it, but probably via the local college of haircuttery and not a home job I'm liable to botch.

So...completely ridiculous for a lady rapidly approaching 40 to do this? My sister suggested an underlayer of fuschia, which sounds pretty good to me. Or maybe a green or blue. My workplace likely won't object, as I don't have a job that deals with the public all that much.

Anyway. I've spent most of the past week being inexplicably groggy and operating on a sort of low-level grumpiness. Oh, well.

That sounds like an awesome idea! I'm about the same age as you, my hair situation is similar, and I definitely CANNOT do that with my current job. So I say go for it!

I'm going to call up the beautician college tomorrow and see what it costs. If it's not an arm and a leg, I think I'm going to go for it. If it's super-pricy I may wait till my sister is in town and make her help me!
