Adventures In Getting Older

Lesson number one. When you are looking at a box of hair color in the store make you have your glasses on, and that you are not letting a toddler distract you.

Lesson number two. When you are going to go put the hair color on your head don't assume you got the right box at CVS.

Lesson number three. Garnier 764 is not my color.


Ok, so I know that I'm getting older and starting to go white. Yes I said white. Not grey, W-H-I-T-E. So I've had to start coloring my hair. No biggie, that is until yesterday.

Well I tried this out knowing that my usually hair color has been Loreal Preference 9GR which most closely gets my true hair color.


But I thought I'd try something different and I thought I had gotten the right color. Oh boy was I wrong. REALLY WRONG.

With my pale skin I look like I'm trying to be Goth. The pictures above do not show just how FLAME red this is. It is just AWFULLLLLLLLLL! DH has been calling me "Red." Think I should just start calling him "Bald"?

Well at least I'm trying to laugh at it. Trying, but not succeeding very well. So here's to never trying something new with hair color) again.

My scalp burns as well. I tried this morning to "fix" the color by using my regular color. Um, it did nothing but burn my scalp. Sigh
