Life isn’t like a box of chocolates

I told you about my recent hair disaster so I could tell you this one.  Now, my Mother-in-law helped me with my hair and I would never dream that she would purposely mess up my hair.  I’m just the root of all evil in her son’s life while he glides through his days adorned with angel wings and halo.  Okay, all joking aside, I can not be blamed for this one.  This was just a case of bad luck and she did this all on her own.  I guess what goes around comes around even if it was an accident.

She bought the Clairol’s Natural Instincts Golden Honey from the Golden Shimmer collection which is supposed to give you a Dark Golden Blonde.  The directions tell you not to be alarmed if the color is darker than what you want while applying.  The color will be lighter after it is done.  Of course, this looked like a dark auburn but she went with it.

It came out a nice shade of red. The color actually suits her making her look younger and bringing out her brown eyes.  Crisis averted since it looks good, right? Well, it would have been all fine and good except the color did not take on her roots or cover her gray.  It only took on the parts that were previously dyed with the same 9G color from them which was a nice darker blond.

Was this fate giving her payback or the dye following its “Natural Instincts”?  Either way, we have a new motto.  Life isn’t like a box of chocolates; it’s like a box of Clairol. You never know what you are going to get!

    I laughed my head off on this one. I too have had hair wrecks in my time. I have had purple hair, orange hair, green hair and a few undiscovered colors. The good news is it will grow and fade.
