A post in which I talk way too much about my hair

I went to have my hair colored last night. I hadn't intended on it but I ended up cutting it too. It had been 11 months since my last hair cut (even trim!) She put a TON of layers into it. It doesn't appear that different today but I now have a small layered pony tail instead of the big thick all one length one it was. There was such a big pile of hair on the floor you literally could of made a baby wig from it. But she kept the LENGTH! It is like the holy grail of hairdressers. She listened and only trimmed it and instead made a lot of face framing layers.

It is still really long in the back.



I want to grow my own hair out and just be high/low lighting my own hair instead of dyeing my whole head. She wove one dark red and one slightly darker than my hair now red and strawberry and baby blondes. She was actually really excited to do a more "funky" look because she said they get a lot of very conservative hair requests. Depending on how I part it she put thick chunky colors under neath. I can part it and you can't see anything and I can move it so you totally see them. Heck I thought this was tame but I love how it came out. It is neat how she cut it too some of the highlights are shorter and some longer.




I know it doesn't APPEAR to be cut different but it is at least a lb lighter. All my layers had grown out.



I think once I am able to wash it and style it myself you can see it all better. This is after I slept on it last night. It was much more sleek when I walked out last night.

Marc Jacobs dress $400 dress I got on sale for $70 and worn 3849328 times since I got it. Dave repaired it the other day. The front placket was delicate silk and ripped in three places and he carefully fixed it. He thinks it will keep happening. Silk is just like that.

I did a terrible job of showing it. I am a big show me don't tell me fan and I fear I failed you all. It was hard because it was dark when I left salon. It all took 3 hours! I'll try again for you! I mean you spend a wad on a service you want to show it off!! ( GAH I have instant Catholic guilt on the cost and I am not even Catholic. Just raised by some)  The reason I am not doing it myself anymore is... (edited to add. Dave has no problem with the money. He talked me into it. I am just a weirdo and guilt myself)
1. It is too long and it is kinda hard to get it all
2. I am up to 3 boxes a month just to dye it.
3. Highlights I can squeak 3 months or so on so it ends up costing same.
4. Someone else has to clean up.
5. I have to replace my bathroom cabinet door.
6. Regrout some of the tile because no amount of bleaching got it out.
7. Paint my bathroom door because all are covered in purple dye!! OY I made such a mess last time. This is WITH drop cloths.
8. I just really like making lists.
9. and odd numbers...
10. Oy yeah and I have to repaint the wall over the sink too. Forgot about that.
