Special shout out to my suitemates who let me hog the bathroom for about an hour while I did this. Here are all the thoughts that went through my head when me and my friend dyed my hair in my dorm bathroom last Friday.
- OH YEAH LETS DO THIS! I’M SO PUMPED!
- What if this goes horribly wrong? What if my hair turns green like in Anne of Green Gables?!
- Relax, Carley that won’t happen. You read the back of the box like six times, this will be fine.
- This stuff kinda smells…
- I really didn’t realize this would take so long (it had been like ten minutes at this point)
- I’m going to have to clean my bathroom for a long time after this.
- So glad I’m not doing this on my own!
- I hope my suitemates don’t have to use the bathroom (they were super cool about me stealing the bathroom!)
- What if she runs out of die after only doing half my hair and I end up with weird two-toned hair?!
- Relax, take a deep breath, it’s going to look great.
- Okay, now I just have to wait twenty minutes and wash it out. And try not to let the dye get absolutely everywhere.
- Twenty minutes feels like a really long time…
- Okay, just have to take a quick shower and dry my hair.
- OH MY GOSH THE DYE IS EVERYWHERE MY SHOWER LOOKS LIKE A CRIME SCENE!
- Oh, cool it washes off easily. Phew!
- Okay, I rinsed my hair four times, I think I got most of it out.
- I literally can’t wait until it dries, I NEED to know what it looks like!
- Wow, I love it! It’s different and fun! I’m so glad I did this!
- I hope my mom likes it!
