Its a smelly kind of smell

I was going to wash the gray right outta my hair today. My lovely neighbor hooked me up with a much needed haircut. Her kitchen floor looked like she had sheared a wookie when she was done with me and I still have tons of long hair. I have muy mucho thick hair, but she thinned it out so its all light and fluffy now. So I thought since I have all these lovely not dead ends now I should go get some hair color and chemically burn them.

Now I am a home hair person from way back. I first dyed my hair orange at the tender age of 13. That is when I learned about the importance of peroxide. I have gotten pretty good at coloring hair (except for that tiger stripe job my friend and I gave poor Audra. Her mother didn't share our vision). I feel pretty confident coloring my own hair. Yeah, I may have ruined a few towels, shirts and permanently dyed the cabinets and counters (nothing a little paint won't fix!) but I have done a bang up job on my hair.

When I saw the commercial for foam hair dye I thought my prayers were answered. No drips! Dan the man would be pleased and I could maintain my red hair. Everybody wins. Only that scenario did not occur. What I ended up with was uneven and some not even colored hair. Turns out foam doesn't adhere as well as the old fashioned liquidy stuff. Sure it doesn't drip, but every squirt of foam pack a chemical punch second only to Chernobyl. I had to open the window and step out of the bathroom so I didn't pass out and get hair dye on the floor. Dan would have had a cow if I'd messed up the floor. He doesn't know how to do floors yet.

I am severely disappointed. I have never had such a bad and smelly outcome. I guess that old saying about not fixing broken things applies quite nicely here. I will just have to wait a week or so and let my hair recover. Then its off to the walmarts for some old fashioned drippy hair color that does this awesome thing. It ACTUALLY COLORS ALL THE HAIR. So you have been warned. Foam hair color is the devil.
