Inspired by being a thread highjacker- the OT thread!

I almost forgot to tell everyone, I got my hair colored yesterday before my date. Its a deeper shade of red now and I have some highlights. Just a few blond ones. Im happy with the color right now. Im just dreading when it starts to fade.

After I dyed my hair red I started using that new Pantene stuff for redheads shampoo and conditioner and it has seemed to fade less.

My hairdresser yells at me when I color my own hair. Says she won't fix it when I screw up. I always color it a shade close to my own hair color, though, so there's limited room for screw-ups.

PLUS- it's so darned expensive to get my hair colored OR highlighted! I'd rather save the $$ and do it myself.

However- my hair place might need a receptionist soon, and my stylist (the owner) asked if I'd be interested... Not sure yet, but it would be a fun place to work, and easy, and they'd get to experiment on my hair- cheap for me, fun for them.

It's just not what I want to do (career wise)- but then again, I'm not really sure what I want to do and now that my senior project is done and over with- I have no excuse to not get a job. I'm like the world's worst housewife anyway- my place is never clean and sparkly!

I've always dyed my own hair. Even when I had it blonde (and I'm normally very dark headed) I did it myself. It just costs too much to go to the salon for that.

I use the John Freida for redheads and it does fade less than regular shampoo. I just got the glaze today so I will be trying that out in the morning. There are some better shampoos that help with the fading, but I dont like paying an arm and a leg (more than I do for the color itself) for it. Overall though, reds fade faster no matter what. But I like the red so I will deal with the fade. I might check out the Pantene though next time.

Beck - give the receptionist job a chance. I worked my way through college working in a salon. It was a lot of fun. Plus, I got free hair care while I worked there. Always had great colors, funky cuts, and was the "test" for any new thing.

I always color my own hair (I grayed very early unfortunately I actually color to my natural color). My hairdresser has made the ocassional remark too, but I figure it is because they would rather you pay them to do it.

Nope, medium brown.

 

[ashjohnson80]

Nope, medium brown.

What kind of color do you use? I'm going to do mine again next week probably because it didn't turn out red enough, it just looks auburn and I wanted to be red, red.

I pay to have mine done. I haven't peeked into the back of the salon yet so I dont know what brands they use. Everytime I go back though, I keep asking for redder and redder.

No worries. Beck is cool so I wouldnt mind being confused with her.

Hola, chicas!

I can't find a hairdresser I like. My old one switched salons and I'd forgotten to give her my new phone number. Can't find her anywhere! So, for now, I'm doing it myself.

You guys are all cool. I'm the only non-cool, non-fashionista one. Sounds like I'm whining. Not! I WAS cool...twenty years ago.

I actually watched the news programs yesterday, since everyone is talking about this rally. Now I know what's up and who agrees with me. I don't get to be a conservative or a liberal. Neither group would want me. Being a man without a country, I generally avoid political stuff.

My prediction for today's events/rally: A bunch of young people who have nothing better to do will show up, and a few women. The rest will be people who are in no way affected. Conspicuously missing will be older, Mexican men - they guys who come here to work because they need the money. They will be out making money, because they need it. I could be wrong.

I haven't paid much attention to the whole immigration issue, to be quite honest. I probably should pay more attention. I guess it just doesn't ring near and dear to me, since I will be completely unaffected today. Now- maybe later it will hurt when I can't get certain things because people boycotted working today- I don't know. It's just not one of my "hot-button" issues.

I had to go off my headche-prevention meds while mark and I are trying to get pregnant and then can't have them til I push the kid out- and it's only been a couple of days and already I have a massive headache brewing. I had almost (but not quite) forgotten what a miracle drug that was! Oy.

I'm leaving for WDW soon!

Well, we had a nice long thunderstorm tonight. It was actually very relaxing- my dog would beg to differ, though. What a baby.

Aidensmom- I am half-way through the Girlfriend's guide- it has been cracking me up.

AND- I got my swimsuit today and while it doesn't make me look like Carmen Electra, it wasn't half bad considering what it has to work with!

 

[Aidensmom]

double post

 

[Aidensmom]

I need one of those doesn't make me look half bad bathing suits, where did you find one?

The girlfriends guide is definitely a good read!

 

[beckmrk04]

I got my swimsuit from Lane Bryant. It's cute, black halter with a brooch in between the girls, and it makes the girls look good- which for me was the most important part. I might be chunkers- but my girls look fantastic. Rest of me? Eh. Whatever.

Yep, its all about making the girls, or the twins look good. Most guys can't get past them anyways so the rest can just be covered but the butt curtain.
