Michcalirado: I wanted to be auburn but got cherry red hair instead!

     Well I would have to say it was not one of my brightest ideas, but on Monday I thought it would be great to dye my hair auburn!
    It all began when my friend Bridget was on facebook and we where chatting and she said she was going to the store, so I asked her to pick up a few things and one of those things was hair dye. Once she got back we had lunch and she gave me the hair dye, let me tell you the color that was shown on the box was a beautiful hair color. Well me being me could not wait until after class to dye my hair so instead I just decided to color my hair an hour before my class. After putting all the hair dye in my hair I noticed that it was really looking red and it was just getting to look a lot like cherry red hair. So, 25 minutes later I started to wash it out and it kept on washing it out but the color kept on running and 15 minutes later the color was still running and I was running late for class and the water was now freezing cold. I stopped washing it out and I did my hair and ran to class. Once I got to class the teacher was doing role call and she said my name and then she said "Is Laura not here?" I said "No I am here" and she said " Oh I did not notice you because your hair is different I like it , its really red" right then and there I new it was bad! After class I ran back to my room and I washed my hair again, and my hair was still running with color. By this time I was giving up and accepting the fact that I had cherry red hair, I was also telling my self that "Its ok its not that bad and in two weeks I can dye it back." I went to dinner that night and I saw a lot of my friends and what can I say they did not think I look my best with cherry red hair. After Monday I wanted to dye my hair back the next day, but you have to wait at least two weeks until you can dye it back so I had to wait it out! Well I waited and waited until Friday night came and I could not wait any longer and I dyed it back, but I still have some red in my hair but it looks so much better and every one keeps coming up to me and saying "wow, Laura your hair is looking so much better, I told you after a few washes it would look good" little do they know I colored it back, but I just say to them "thanks." I then think to myself "20 years from now I will look back on this and say yeah I was crazy" but hey live and learn and trust me I learned!

     P.S. One last thing I just want to give everyone a tip on Dying hair, and that is on the instructions where it say "TIP: before coloring you hair take a small piece of your hair and test it with the color to make sure this is the color that you desire" Please listen to the instructions and test a small piece of hair because you never know what color your hair might end up looking like!
