Well, back to the hair! I was born blonde, and I have colored it most my adult life to maintain the blonde. Now I have to color it to hide the grey! Then there's the constant upkeep to keep the roots blending in. I color my own hair and have found a system that has worked up to now. Why do I say that? Because I accidentally colored it the wrong color the last time. How does that happen you ask! Well, I usually vary the color from touch up to touch up to keep the color fairly natural looking. No one's hair is all one color after all. The last time I clipped my coupons for the colorant, I bought an Ash Blonde and an Ash Brown. I was planning on streaking the brown through my hair as sometimes it lightens up too much. Well let me tell you! Do you think I had my reading glasses on when I grabbed the box? When I came out of the shower, my daughter asked me how come my hair was so brown. I nearly died! I looked liked my mom - not quite the effect I was looking for. I love my mom, but she is 82 and I did not want to age myself. So that was one of the few times I went to the beauty parlour to have it fixed. I basically did the first half of a reverse weave myself. It looked a lot better, but it was not the same. This next round I will get it right!
A really cool website for analyzing your skin and hair is http://www.lorealparisusa.com. They have some great interactive analysis available step by step and I found it fun and useful If you sign up at the end with your email, they will give you a $1.00 of any product coupon. I keep a special email address for just this reason so that my main mailbox isn't filled with advertisements.
Ta Ta for now...
