Foiled

[kerravonsen]

This afternoon my hair was foiled. The result is that my hair is now three colours: my natural colour (which most of it still is) and dark burgundy-red, and a shade of blond. Mind you, it was hard to pick the actual colours, since there were about ten different reds and twenty different blonds and stuff all in between. But I have now fulfilled my promise to my nephew Sean, I've got my hair coloured before my birthday. Though the result is actually more subtle than I expected. I suspect most of my work collegues won't even notice...

Hm, that must be something to see. Of course, you must have it done again when it starts to grow out, just so you can say, "Curses! Foiled again!"

Well, I would. :-P

Yes, well I was trying to think of a clever way of using that in the title, but I didn't think "Foiled For The First Time" was quite it...

Keep that for when you're inspired to give one of the characters the Hairdo from Hell :)

Sounds rather nice. I recommend a hair wrap to finish off the job!

A hair wrap? What's that?

A hair wrap is done by taking a long strand of hair and wrapping coloured threads round it. They usually last for several weeks. You often see people having them done at folk festivals. We had a short one in Richard's beard once!

LOL!

It would take an awful long time to do mine, I think. Though that does remind me, I did get a put-beads-in-your-hair kit once. Now that all the split ends have been cut off, it might be feasable to give that a go again.

I like those too, though I couldn't have one unless I got a hair extension. That would look very cool on you for summer, in all those blues and greens and purples you like. :-) I think most hair salons do them, and many markets have stalls.

Ooh, that sounds lovely! I have much the same in the top of my short hair (the colours glow in the sun) but the effect is so much better in long hair.

Interestingly enough, you only really see it on the top part of my head; the part in braids (which I wear for everyday practicality) the coloured bits get overwhelmed by the normal bits and you have to look very hard to see any difference.
