Long Hair

I decided to go a little daring. I needed a changed and wanted

some volume for the wedding day. It's so fun what a little dye

and extensions can do to your look. I wasn't happy when

I dyed it the first time and I thought I would share the story.

After my birthday in February I decided that It was time to

give my look a lift. I got my hair highlighted. Not aware that a

partial highlight was going to be $50.00. It wasn't done the

way I talked with her on the phone, I just assumed when she

got the stuff out that she remembered. I wanted two colors

mixed into my hair, a cream, and a highlight. My hair was just

Bleached! Plus she when she gave me the highlights she was lazy

doing so and didn't get it all the way to the scalp. I could see a gap on

my bangs. That was just a total no no!

I kept my hair like that for a good month.

I was getting frustrated, because

when kenton and I took our engagements I dyed my under color

darker. Well over time it became an ugly orange. Now

I had an ugly orange underneath, my natural color on the sides

and then bleach highlights on the top. What else could go

wrong I thought. I didn't have another 50.00$ for her to fix

what she messed up and I didn't have money to fix the whole

head with an under color.

At the end I was tired of my hair not getting fixed and

no one really available that could do it for a wedding gift.

My bridals were in a week at that point and i didn't

want something dark, but not too dark. Almost a medium brown is

what I was going for. You have to get it done and then

wash it a few times and then it starts to lighten up. I soon went

to Sally's and talked with a lady about me just doing it. I told

her the look I was going for. She soon said Put 4G in your hair.

I thought alright. I soon went to Riverton store to get a second

opinion and she agreed with the lady at the Layton store.

I still felt it was a tad too dark. So that next day I was in

Bountiful working out and then decided to go to the

Bountiful store. She mentioned that since I was looking for a

5G color that I should mix 4G and 6G. <>

a medium. I never knew that your not supposed to mix

two golden together. For me it sounded like pure science.

I went home and mixed it and soon put it in my hair. My hair

turned ORANGE! I was freaking out! I started to cry and

went straight over to the layton store and told them the

whole delima and asked how to fix it. She said

you never mix two golden and you never mix a dark

to might a light. Then she gave me two 5AA and one 5(something).

It was more like an ash color to counteract the Red and orange

in my hair. After that it was a little dark, yet she said "It will

lighten up over in time." I was ok with the fact of knowing

that It will lighten up more.

I went back and bought the extensions. I realized that they

were a tad longer then I though. I know that once the

wedding is over I was going to have someone cut just

an inch off and layer it a bit. They were so cute

and fun for the bridals. I will have to show you after the

wedding. Due to Kenton might see it if i post it this soon.

I love you all and remember stay away from crazy girls

that want to put two goldens in your hair when you

want to dye your hair. :0)
