Hair Disaster!

Japan has many disasters: earthquakes, tsunamis, typhoons; but none are as devastating or surprising as the hair disaster. Those of you who have read my previous blogs know that I recently have begun experimenting with different clothing styles and hair colors. I first tried a dark reddish-brown, which looked pretty good, and then I tried a color called cool ash, which I think looked great. Well, I got a little carried away yesterday and decided to try blonde hair.

This was a big mistake. It didn't just look bad. It looked awful. Really really awful. But, I had a big night out planned in Nagoya, so I cycled back to the drug store and bought another box (a medium brown) to fix it before going out. Problem solved, right?

Nope! Because I had so recently dyed my hair the blonde color, the brown didn't really take, and instead turned my hair a pinkish-orange color. I thought it looked bad, but everyone told me that it looked decent enough. So, I went out to Nagoya last night and rocked the pinkish-orange hair. (It takes a hell of a lot of confidence to walk around a major city with orange hair)

Anyway, when I came home this morning, I of course wanted to fix it, so I dyed it dark brown. Surely this worked right? NOPE!!! Now my hair is golden-brown. But, in the light, it just looks gold!

Needless to say, I have learned my lesson about dying my hair and won't do it again. I guess I will just go with the gold until it grows out and I can cut my hair again next weekend. Either that or I will just start coloring every hair with a black sharpie.
