Honesty is the best policy

My sister is going to kill me for posting this picture. {I love you Smelly!}

We had a fun weekend at my mom's house scrapbooking and chatting away. While there, Melanie, Shelby, and I decided to color our hair. Why? Because we can.

I went dark as I did last fall, Melanie went darker to a light brown shade, and Shelby got some pretty blonde highlights.

So, after I got home and Jaysen saw what I had done to my hair THIS time {I change my hair frequently...I always have} I asked him what color he has liked the best. He, of course, tried to give me the "appropriate" answer of...."whatever you like, I like". The problem is that I don't want a politically correct answer. I want the truth. I like looking sassy cute for the hubby. :0) Anyway...after 5 minutes of attempting to drag the truth out of him he finally drops the bombshell...

"I like you better blonde."

What? What? Sigh.

I asked him last year, when I went from blonde to brown if he liked me better blonde or brown. His answer? "You look great both ways." Safe answer huh? If he would have just been honest...we could have avoided the whole month of red....and now to the almost black again. Sigh.

He was concerned I was mad at him after he made his revelation. Mad that he was honest? No. Frustrated that I just dyed my hair chocolate brown and could have dyed it back to blonde if I would have known? YES. Sigh. That's what I get for having such a nice hubby who didn't want to hurt my feelings.

Punk. :0)

He told me not to just go and change it back just because he said he liked it better blonde. I let him know there was no way to go from DARK brown to blonde without ending up with ORANGE hair. So, I am staying dark...for now.

Perhaps I'll go purple next time.....just to teach him a lesson in honesty.

It is always the best policy you know....

{love you Jaysen}

Happy now?

Wow...my eyes look evil in this picture. ;0)

Anyway...here! Now you know what it looks like. Are you happy?

Painted Black

Though I do love that song.....I'm not loving the color right now. Let me explain.....

So, I like to change my hair. I do it a lot. Whether I cut it, layer it, dye it, perm it......whatever. I'm always feeling like I need to do something different. Anyway, I was born a blonde. Which is pretty obvious if you take a look at my kids. They are both blondies....well, after 28 years...my hair has slowly faded into brown. I've dyed it and dyed it for 10 years now so that I could be the blonde I was born to be :0) but I've just about had it with the upkeep. So, I decided several weeks ago that I was going to return to my "roots" and be a brunette. Chocolate brown is what I was going for. So, since I usually do most of my hair dying in the comfort of my own bathroom, I went and bought a box of color from Target. The box was for Chocolate brown hair. Yay! Put it on, did the whole thing, rinsed and did my hair....and it was still blonde. A darker blonde...but blonde nonetheless. Sigh. Nobody could tell the difference. NOBODY! Not even my sister! And girls notice this kind of stuff.
So, yesterday I went and bought a second box of color. A different brand, but still for chocolate brown hair. Put it on last night night....did the whole thing.....and now my hair is BLACK! What the crap! And I'm not kidding. Jaysen is trying to be nice about it...but I can see through it. Landon is worried that he's going to get lost if we go somewhere because I don't look like myself. Sigh. It's ugly. So, this morning I called my friend who is a stylist and asked her what I could possibly do without further frying my hair. And guess what? I have to have black hair for two weeks before I can dye again, otherwise I might as well shave my head for the frying that will occur if I dye a third time. And even then, I can only add chocolate brown highlights. Sigh. So, I have black hair....for two weeks. There will be no picture on the blog about it. And I won't be leaving the house much......that's what I get for trying to be a brunette.

I guess I'm just too much of a "blonde" to figure this stuff out. ;0)
