*Gulp*

I had a haircut last night.

1. The red is almost entirely gone from everywhere but my eartails.
2. It's 8 weeks to Squeefest (Eeeee!)
3. So I booked in to be turned into a blonde on 5 July.

That'll give me about a month of *being* blonde, before I go scarlet in time for Amecon. Assuming I don't decide that I love being blonde so much that red can go hang, that is.

Hairdresser is more worried than I am about what'll happen to my eartails. They might end up dirty pink or ginger, and she won't be able to tell until it's too late (unless she does a strand test. Which I said not to bother with, because it's not as if it's going to stop me).

On one hand, it's only hair. It'll grow out, and everyone at work is egging me on.

On the other, holy *crap* what am I going to look like?




(The long term plan, such as it is, is to stay scarlet for a while until it gets old, possibly try chestnut for a while, then go back to bue-black. Blue-black felt *right*.)

Take some pictures, front and side in a stock pose so you can compare before and after over the next few months :)

I'll get [livejournal.com profile] professoryaffle or [livejournal.com profile] claire_wain to do some this weekend! This is the closest I've been to all-natural since I was 14-15...

I'm not going blue, or anything *really* mad...

[identity profile] nannyo.livejournal.com 2008-05-30 10:58 am (UTC)(link)
but REEEED is an excellent colour! I applaud it. Am looking forward to seeing you next weekend. Give a hug to that Claire when you see her this one.

I had my hair cut yesterday too! :)

I'm sure you'll look gorgeous no matter what happens with the dye. And we'll want to see photos!

I'm just sad that you're not being blondified before the FFW. That's if you're still planning to attend?



[identity profile] puddingcat.livejournal.com 2008-05-30 10:43 am (UTC)(link)
Photos will be forthcoming, I promise :) This is a once in a lifetime event - I want to preserve it for posterity!

I'm not sure about the FFW - I seem to be very booked up atm.

First [profile] hullfire says she won't be there except for possibly for a while on the Sunday, and now you might not be there either?

*sobs uncontrollably*

I suspect you'll look very nice indeed :)

[identity profile] puddingcat.livejournal.com 2008-05-30 10:43 am (UTC)(link)
Thank you! I'm waiting until I've seen it, though; I may well need a stiff drink before leaving the hairdressers...

Blue-black worked for you. It worked very very well for you.

Thank you :) Should be back to that within a year, I reckon.

I'm sure you'll look gorgeous no matter what!

Currently, I can't imagine you with blonde hair but I couldn't imagine you with short hair, either and that worked brilliantly. :o)

mmm....blonde...I always think of you as a sort of Abbey from NCIS. Now when she went blonde (think it was a wig) she looked like Marilyn Monroe...well that woould be interesting! Cant wait to see piccies. Now red tho....yes, I can imagine that on you.

I think whatever you do will look gorgeous if you just cut off the eartails. Not that I am biased against the whole concept of eartails or anything.

Hee, that's just what my hairdresser said! She calls them my comfort blanket, after having had long hair for so long :)

The Plan was to dress up as a specific character (per userpic) at Amecon - the eartails and scarlet were going to be for that, so I didn't need a wig. But now the dressing up is going in a different direction. I'll probably keep them until I go red just to see wht they're like, then trim them back a bit. And thank you!
