This was actually an accident, but I decided to just go with it.
I went off to buy my usual auburn hair color at a discount store, Ollie’s.
I need to cover up my grays every few weeks now. *sigh*
Anyhoo, I noticed the L’Oréal box had been taped up, but paused for only a moment to make the observation, before tossing it in my cart.
I got home and opened it, only to find that it was a totally different brand of hair color. Clairol, Nice & Easy.
I could not find the color name or number on the tube, so decided to just go for it! I mean why not?! I’m adventurous!
As soon as I mixed the color I noticed it was definitely not my usual color. But while mixed, it definitely didn’t look black.
I put it all over my head, and set the timer for 35 minutes.
My kids came out to where I was sitting, and gave me a strange look. My daughter asked me to go look in the mirror..
And then…
Woah! Wowser!
This was different. I began to rinse it out and then noticed that this was not just black, this was Jet Black! I went ahead and blew dry it.
I couldn’t desire whether I looked more like Elvira or the lady from the Munsters…
I panicked before thinking that this could be fun. I’ve been blonde, Brown, before…
Of course most of my life I’ve been Red, so I have never felt like myself with any other color…
I’m on day three. I dyed my eyebrows to match last night. (Picture two) yes, they need to fade some.
Somehow, the red brows were not making me feel like I could pull this brunette business off, as natural.
I still feel not so natural. And getting ready in the morning takes twice as long, because being so white again, requires more makeup with this hair. But other then that, it’s been fine.
I defined feel as people are more friendly.
We will see how it goes…
