I forgot to mention one thing about this weekend. At the beginning of the summer, I decided to get my hair highlighted. I had done it once before, about five years ago, and figured since I’d be spending so much time at the beach, it might be a fun thing to do. I didn’t really like it all that much. But, I figured I’d ride it out through the summer and put it back to its natural color in the fall. This past Saturday was the day I decided to do that. Let’s just say that I had a bit of a run in with the box of Clairol — it’s not quite the shade I was going for — it would have been great with my goth look, though. All I can do now is be patient and hope that it fades a little. It’s funny — people aren’t quite sure what’s different. I had two people at work yesterday ask me if I had gotten a haircut. I’ll try to get a picture up here at some point.

Maybe that’s why hair colorists get the big bucks!

you should have let me do your hair, i’m really good at it. i used to do 1/2 the east village. your color will fade. you should wash it with dishwashing liquid a couple of times and deep condition. if you don’t dare, use one of those (like neutrogena) deep cleaning shampoos. i normally don’t recommend washing your hair every day, but do it and condition condition condition.
i have learned over the years always to get color like 2 shade lighter than you think you are. for example, my hair is dark brown and i consistently use light ash brown and dark smokey blonde. also, go to ricky’s a buy hair color don’t buy a kit — more subtle variation between shades. you certainly don’t have to go to a hairdresser for a single process. the good news is that when the highlights fade, you’ll have a nice subtle brown on brown thing going on.
