I’m ready for my low budget Lifetime Movie

It all started with a picture of a gorgeous redhead with striking blue eyes…

For some reason I got it in my mind that I would look good with hair just like that. So one late night run to the convenience store nearby, and I was going to look just like that picture…

Instead I look like some stupid actress in one of those Lifetime movies who buy a crap bottle of color, and dye their hair in a sleazy gas station bathroom as if that will hide them from the crazy ex-husband or police department who happens to be looking for them. (Of which I have neither by the way.) And no I am not exaggerating about the color.

It started with one bottle of cheap hair color at the store. Which didn’t turn out awful, but was far from even and a little orange in places. Then I headed out to the salon to have it fixed, but she gave me PURPLE hair with chunky blonde highlights, and dark brown base… It was worse then when I went it. Two more bottles of dye to attempt to cover the purple stripper hair, and I am left with BLACK hair, with a whole chunk of brown hair sprinkled with blonde stripes… (I am currently trying to fix this.)

I did not listen to the many signs along the way, nor did I stop at the first sign of trouble. This stubborn mama continued to strive to achieve the color I wanted… only to end up looking like I was ready for Halloween and so far from the color I desired it wasn’t even funny.

Unless these are phrases you like to use often – here are the top ten reasons why you should stay away from over-the-counter hair dye.

1. I’m running from the law.
2. I wanted my hair to reflect my Holiday spirit.
3. I was attempting to look like Kristen Stewart in the Runaways who was trying to look like Joan Jett.
4. I am trying to look like a desperate housewife in an effort for some makeover show to see me and want to give me a makeover.
5. Amber from Teen Mom inspires me.
6. I like the “I can’t really tell what color your hair is” style.
7. Anyone can pull off blonde, but it takes a special kind of awesome to pull of black, brown, blonde, red, and purple all in one.
8. What do you mean my hair is different? I haven’t done anything to it.
9. I figured if blondes have more fun, I would have a blast if I covered the spectrum.
10. I went to Walmart.

The good news? It is just hair. And I can pretty much guarantee you it won’t be this color for long. Only this time I will NOT be the one to color it. (Nor will I return to the hairdresser who thinks plain Jane, tee shirt and jeans kinda mama should look like a stripper.)

If you are lucky, I may post a picture, but not until I am ready to laugh a little bit more about it.
