Before one can make amends, one must do something worthy of being amended.
Such as - putting your husband in a bonnet. On the Internet.
That would be, step one. Then, it’s time to get down to the business of making amends.
Oh yeah. We’re going there….
After the bonnet is tied firmly in place:
Then you wait. And wait. And check your emails. And dance around the house listening to Prince, singing at the top of your lungs because YOU’RE IN THE HOUSE ALL BY YOURSELF!!!. With Smurf Poo on your head.
Then you get bored.
And decide that SURELY this has been long enough. It’s BLEACH for Pete’s sake - how long can that take??
Then you rinse your hair and take a shower. And you do not take pictures of your shower because you have boundaries!
Perhaps if I blow dry it and shit. Surely that will make a difference.
And that is how you make amends.
The End.

You are very brave. The last time I tried to do something to my hair I looked every bit Priscilla Presley when she married Elvis.

You’ve got some great hair, lady. I’m just trying to figure out how to get mine to be not-so-frizzy like yours. I’ve go the curl, but the frizz is bad…
March 31st, 2008 at 12:58 am
that shit never works for me. I always get knots and pull out thousands of hairs (that I really cannot spare) and I get all pissy and pull the cap off only to try again and realize I’ve made huge holes in the cap thing. That is why I started going one color. I’m too cheap to pay the big city prices here to have someone do it for me.

Yikes! I’ve never tried one of the cappy-type things…but I’m always covering gray hairs rather than lightening it. You’re very brave!

My hair is about as curly as yours. It used to thick. Until I put on that fucking bonnet and tried to highlight my hair and wound up pulling half the hair OUT OF MY HEAD. So commend you, you may not see a difference, but you retained the majority of your hair.

Owwwchhhhh! I felt every moment of that!
The smurf poo (hilarious!)is rather terrifying isn’t it? I really don’t get why it has to be so blue!
Seriously though, you need to train Mr Britt on the art of foiling - it HAS to be less painful!

LMAO @ Smurf poo. I still can’t believe I used to have my highlights done with them pulling the through a cap. You must have a tough head too sugar.
Your hair looks great even if there was not too much change.

I quit dying my hair when I was a teenager and turned it purple. On accident.
Of course, I dance around my house with smurf poo on my head every other Friday. Right before I play the acupuncturist and the pincushion.

OK I demand that you reveal your secret for your beautiful (NON FRIZZY) hair! What products do you use? Shampoo, conditioner, gels?
Also- I hate you a little bit that you BLEW your hair dry and it still looks awesome! If I use a blow drier (even with a diffuser) I end up looking like a chia pet with an afro.
Please share the gory details before I give up and go have all my curlies whacked off!

I think your hair looks great the way it is.
I on the other hand, have SHORT hair, and always have the damn “cap treatment” done. My scalp feels freakin’ RAW when they are ‘latch-hooking’ my hair through it. LOL

While I fully endorse your self-inflicted bonnet torture to make amends for the past documentation of your husband wearing the bonnet, I am still forced to ask one question… all that for one strand???
Okay… the smurf poo was worth it too.
I wonder if there’s a “Two Smurfettes One Cup” cartoon somewhere out there…

March 31st, 2008 at 12:28 pm
I pay a ridiculous amount of money for my color each month and my husband does not complain. Why you ask? I once did as you did, and bought the box from the drug store. I made him help me. He thought it was fun, right up until the screams came from the bathroom. I had turned myself into Annie. It was so sad and so wrong. I’m telling you, you should seriously be thanking God that you didn’t have any change. ;-)

ADW: At 16, I thought I looked hot in Purple and took it as a sign I should never go natural again.
Little Miss: it is remarkably close, isn’t it? Maybe they put rum in the hair dye??

This Mom: yeah, it seems to work much better with short hair.
Poppy: this is brilliant. I’m drafting a proposal now.
Cissa Fireheart: I used that once. It was the one and only time I had to go have one of my homemade jobs professionally “fixed”.
themuttprincess: I know - I thought it was the lightest, but maybe not.
NYCWD: if there isn’t, there should be.
That was a hint.

Karen Sugarpants: show off!
Kyra Sutra: plus don’t you have a ridiculously rich natural hair color anyway? Whore.
metalmom: I’m sure my baby would LOVE it if I allowed her to come at me with a hook.
Finn: yeah, I think it was the washing more than anything.
Which. Um. EWWWWW.
claudia: I’ve been dying my own hair for about 13 years now.
Black Belt Mama: when that has happened to me, my husband’s response is “what? it’s fiiiine.”
The man is cheaper than vain, apparently.
March 31st, 2008 at 1:07 pm
I do the hook thingy for my wife. It works better if I do it… Also you have to leave it on for triple tghe time the box says. AND we all know the box has alot to say,…….
