For months, I've been idly considering dying my hair blue. Or a bit of it. But just the right shade. And I didn't really think I'd have the gumption.But the other day, while we were out food shopping for Moky's party, I detoured into the CVS next to the Trader Joe's and bought a box of Blue Envy. Later in the afternoon, my sister-in-law, who is no stranger to hair dye, did the dirty work.
Being your straight-laced suburban mother with a full-time office job, who never wears make-up and doesn't hide the grey, I've been getting a lot of double-takes.
I think my mother would have been equal parts horrified and titillated. And really, I did it for her.
But I'm enormously pleased with it.
[It's just a little hank that got dyed, and when I tuck my hair behind my ear, you can hardly tell see the blue.]
you did it!!!! LOVE it.

ReplyDeleteblue-tee-ful!
ReplyDeleteNeat.
ReplyDeleteI have an appointment Thurs. My husband is hoping I'll come home with pink hair.
Fantabulous!
ReplyDeleteI've done pink before. I may do it again. My hair is black, so I have to bleach it first, but it's awesome.
ReplyDeleteYou look great.
It's a beautiful shade of blue!
ReplyDeleteI have always wanted blue streaks in my hair but it is so dark it would not show up. I have always had this idea in my mind that once I go all the way gray I will put rainbow streaks into my hair.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE it!!!!!
ReplyDeleteThat's a great shade of blue.
ReplyDeleteWhen are you going to do the whole head??
Whole head! Whole head!
ReplyDeleteWow! I think it looks amazing! Love it.
ReplyDeleteThat's wonderful! I may have to try it myself, because you look so cool.
ReplyDeletelove it!
ReplyDeletei had a dream once that my husband died, and shortly after (in the dream) I went out and cut and died my hair. hmm.....
Melissa did a much better job than I did. I'll stick to cutting crudites and sausages, thank you....
ReplyDeleteI FREAKIN LOVE IT!!!!
ReplyDeleteIts so cool!!!!
ReplyDeleteI love it. Everyone needs a little color in their life (says the woman who is wearing all black today).
ReplyDeleteOh, that's a great blue. Yay!
ReplyDeleteIt's delish.
ReplyDeleteGotta say, I love it. It is indeed just the right shade of blue.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE IT! It's fun and subversive and sweet.
ReplyDeleteIt's fun seeing my favorite color in someone's hair!
ReplyDeleteI love it! Doesn't it make you feel exotic and fun?
ReplyDeleteLove it! Hmmm, now you've got me thinking. As if getting pregnant with donor embryos as a single woman isn't going to freak out my mother enough!
ReplyDeleteYou know, you really should have been a children's librarian :D
ReplyDeleteoh, me too, I love it!
ReplyDeleteGirl! You look like one of my students now. And I likes it!
ReplyDeleteI love it! I've always been fascinated with blue hair as such, not the accidental bluing of grey. This is fun and soothing. Lovely.
ReplyDeleteYou are teh cool.
ReplyDeleteLOVE it :) enjoy!!
