Stupidity Wins in Straight Sets…

As it usually happens when I get together with my sister, we had an awesome day, plenty of laughs and some trauma, drama and retail therapy thrown in for good measure.

Today we scrubbed her bathroom ceiling to remove the mold (install an exhaust fan people!) wearing dirt bike goggles, we grabbed a late lunch and shopped our butts off with our Mum. While in store she (my sister!) gave me a wedgie! Seriously. My 20 year old sister gave me a wedgie in Big W. I laughed so hard I couldn’t breathe… And it was in Big W that it the moment of stupidity happened.

I decided to return my hair to it’s former blonde glory. Not so stupid you may think… But just take a glance to your right at my profile pic. Yep. That was my current hair colour when this decision was made. Now I’m not sure how much you know about hair colouring but let me just tell you it ain’t pretty! Taking hair from dark, dark auburn to blonde is difficult. It’s damn near impossible in one afternoon. But we tried anyway.
Four packs of blonde/lightener/industrial style bleach, about 6 hours and 3 cold showers my hair is orange with white blonde roots. My scalp is burning and there was no way we could have stopped even if we wanted to because it really is that bad. So what now for my ridiculous hair? Not much… more bleach maybe.
And I know what you’re thinking… No way. No pics, I’m not that brave.

  1. That's sisters for you!

  2. It's the wedgey story you will be telling your grandkids in 30 to 40 years though.And the blonde probably looks great. Arent' we all the most critical about our own self? We all have to do crazy stuff every now and then and besides. Hair grows.
