Yesterday and Hair Colour

So did I get done what I wanted to do yesterday before I went to work?

Yep!

Now to keep up the good work.... we'll see how long that lasts for. Positive aren't I?


When I last got my hair cut and coloured Alexander was amazed by the copper colour in my hair (which after a few washes turned a pretty cool pinky colour) and asked if we could colour his hair. I said 'of course' - as all sane parents of 8 year olds do.... and asked 'what colour?'

The answer???

Green.......

Unusual, but hey why not?

I did tell him he'd have to wait until school holidays - which have started this week - as I didn't think the school would like him going to school with green hair (or green tips anyway).

I went yesterday to buy green hair colour.... only to find that you can get it in hairspray type stuff - which is a bit scary to use when you just want to do streaks. I could get various shades of red, pink, blues and purples in 'Fudge' - which is kind of like a cream product. So I had to phone him at his Dad's and ask him what colour they (as Olivia wants hers done too)...

Red was the unanimous answer - and then I had to explain to their Dad what they were talking about. I think he was a bit unsure about what their crazy mother was doing - but was reassured somewhat when I told him that it will wash out (hopefully after about half a dozen washes).

So that will be our fun day this Friday! I will post pics for you to see the kids with red streaks... we could end up with a scene from Carrie though!
