Hair

So I color my hair. I have for a very long time. People talk to me about my beautiful blonde hair and depending on who they are, I just might tell them that it is possible for them to have the same color. Sometimes, people around my age talk about the increasing number of gray hairs on their head. I have to be honest. I have no idea if my hair has any gray in it. I don't actually even know what my "real" color is anymore.

So anytime I am headed to that hair appointment, tom always tries to get me to add a streak of some wild color. And I always kind of laugh it off.

But this time, I made it one of his father's day gifts. Something a little different, right?

But my hairdresser kind of shot down the idea of a streak. After some thinking, she came up with the shadowbox idea. So it's the bottom layers that are fairly hidden except at the ends or when I wear a ponytail.

And we decided on purple!

So here are the photos---



The first dye attempt. This only turned the hair reddish not really purple. So...



Then we used this one. Now that's a purple! And a double chin...I blame the photographer. Me.



Leaving the salon.



And with the ponytail.

So it has been kinda fun. Interesting responses from those that have noticed it but many don't even seem to see it. Or maybe they don't like it and are just being polite.

Oh well. Tom loves it! Happy Father's Day!
