This summer my hair has continually gotten more and more blonde. Today I decided it was too blonde and instead of doing the right thing, which is call a licensed beautician, I go to the grocery store and buy a box of hair color for $12. Saves me a lot of money right? Instead of paying a professional $100 (which in my opinion is soooo overpriced!!!) I only spend $12 + tax.
Now in the past I have judged it by the girl on the box. Oooh, her hair is really pretty and curly with lots of volume, it is a distraction tool! This time I judged it by the name of the color. I went with dark natural blonde, sounds good, right...that is what I am after.
I go home, put it on, only leave it on for 5 minutes because I really just wanted to tone it down just a little, not fully color it.
UUUHHHHH!!!! And every time the result is the same. Ugly! And every time I wash my hair at least 5 times, sometimes using laundry detergent, thinking it will magically fade away this ugly color, but that has never worked. Yet, I continue to do it!!!!!!!!!
So now I have an appointment tomorrow at 12 with a licensed professional to fix it. So, instead of $100, it is now $112 + tax. And I have to look at this ugly, ashy color for the next 18 hours. I do this at least once a year. So no, I don't think I will ever learn!!! =)

I think we have all done something like this. Tried to save money but spent more for our mistake! good luck tomorrow! I think hair prices are way over priced too. Sometimes I cut my own hair just to save some money.
Look at this way...you'll go to bed a night knowing that you tried to save money first....even though it didn't work out!
Been there done that! I have died my hair Black, yellow and green by accident before. I still die my own hair when Im desperate. Hey a girls gotta do what a girls gotta do, but when I do have the extra cash I will pay far more then what its worth to have it look good.Lol
Those root touch up things always look so tempting... but Im too scared to try!
