Dye! Dye! My Darling!

elfkin i was getting worried that no one of 39 responses had beat me to it. To Daria! Salut!

. . . I was also thinking of the Dick Van Dyke Show episode where Millie bleaches Laura’s hair to make her look like Marilyn Monroe, and she winds up looking like Harpo Marx . . .

How do you get to the people pages?

I just googled “Straight-Dope” and “People-Pages.”

I’m ALWAYS a suicide redhead. And it’s always worked out.

Oh, crap, I just saw that Outback commercial . . .

I’m going from dark brown to medium auburn with highlights–that’ll include lightening the hair; adding color; adding highlights . . . No way I could do that myself. Plus, touching up roots requires more finesse and patience than I possess.

And I’m getting highlights tomorrow. Red ones. I have hints of natural ones but the heck with it, I’m going for it. Darkish brown hair, red highlights…great.

I’ve never done anything permanent with my hair color before. I realize anything that happens is fixable, but I’m still a bit nervous.

Eve, auburn with highlights is my favorite. I’ve never been brave enough to do it myself, though. Are you having it professionally done? I can’t wait to see your new doo!

Hence the lack of wire hangers in the Eve household.
