Deciding to do something purely indulgent for myself, I decided to color my hair last night. Now, I usually use one specific brand in a dark red/brown color, somewhere between cherry and burgundy brown. However when at the store, to my dismay, the color and brand i wanted were sold out. So, rather than waste a bus trip to another store, I found what I gathered to be the equivalent shade in a different brand, one that my mom uses all the time.
I pull out everything I need, and get to work. My first hint of misgivings began after applying the haircolor and seeing that it looked like I dipped my head in grape jelly. We're talking PURPLE. <gulp> Hey, it just might look that way as dye, and then rinse out differently, so I'll give it a chance
Then I rinse it out and dry it and get a good look in the mirror. And whoo.
Eggplant. You know the color of a beautifully ripe eggplant? That blackish/purplish hue? Yup, that's my head. My hair is naturally ash brown/blondish to begin with, and I'm pale, so this color really brings out the paleness.
After a few moments of shock, I think I rather like it. Shocked the crap out of my mother, though!
She says maybe it'll fade or settle a little as time goes by. Kind of hoping it doesn't.
So, pulled an oops, but it actually worked out rather nicely, I think. I quite like it!

. I cheered when I finally had the last bits of that chopped off like a year-and-a-half later. (I have never had any desire to actually be blonde; the original highlights were a caramel color, but the touch-up made it really light.)
