Wow, its been a while since I have been on the site. Sad. I need to start making a daily visit here I suppose. Got my ears gauged up to a 4 gauge now, and patiently waiting till the times comes where I can gauge up to 2.. and so on and so on. Funny thing happened tonight. Tried to put some red highlights into my hair, didn't quite turn out how I wanted it to. I had gotten some stuff from Sally's that supposed to work on dark hair, without the fuss of bleaching it first. So I thought that it would work ok on my previously dyed black hair. Well, silly ol' me didn't strand test like I had originately wanted to. I figured if it didn't work then there would be no harm done, or at the very least it would have changed my hair to a mahogany red color, or something like that. The box was right by the way. It works great on dark hair. Just naturally dark hair. My hair is a natural dark brown, and since its been a while since I have dyed my hair, I have about 1 - 1 1/2 inches of roots/regrowth. Can you guess what happened yet? Yeap, my roots (or regrowth or whatever you choose to call it) were the only thing that dyed red. So now I have red streaks that stop about 1 - 1 1/2 inches away from my scalp. It's an interesting look. I wouldn't minded so much if I had some more, that way I could have just gone ahead and dyed all of my roots red, but this looks a bit retarded, or at least I thought so at first. Now its kind of growin on me.. LOL
