On having green hair...
My original intention was to dye my hair blue.You see, Tolver tends to wear green all the time, and Bob tends to wear black all the time; I tend to wear blue all of the time. To re-inforce this fact within our peer group, Tolver and I had wanted to dye our hair our color for wig volleyball (yes, we had to be different and not just wear wigs.) So, after bleaching, we dyed Tolver's hair green, and my hair blue. Unfortunately, the blue dye was not as dark as we had expected; it was more of a sky blue. Making me look like a dirty blonde with a blue tint.
Acccepting the challenge, we strategized that using the remaining green dye on my slightly blue hair, and then re-applying the blue dye on top of that might just give me the bright blue that I sought.
Well, as you can plainly see from the pictures of Wig volleyball, in the last post, it didn't work. I ended up settling with green. The blue is just uneffective. Now, wandering around Hawaii with green hair does garner the kinds of looks and reactions that I was expecting to have to deal with if I had blue hair, but it is not the color that I chose or was expecting to project. Everytime I see myself in a mirror, I am unhappy that it is green and not blue.
Don't get me wrong; it is a perfectly OK green, and I like Tolver's a lot. When his is messed up and all sticking out from his head every which way, it looks like green flames. But, on me, I feel that I look like a well-groomed Troll doll, and it doesn't match any of my blue clothes.
Pout. Pout. Let it all out. These are the things we can blog about! link | posted by Reese at 5:29 PM
