You guys, remember how I got blondified a few weeks back? And you were all super nice about it and complimentary and sweet and it was like the best self-esteem booster ever?
Well, it didn’t last long. For some reason, not even 4 weeks later, I have the WORST. ROOTS. EVER. I mean, I have NO IDEA how my hair decided to grow so fast, but it did, and I have total Sarah Jessica Parker hair right now.
But tonight? My hair guy is coming over to rescue me, in time for the state dinner tomorrow, and I am SO PSYCHED. I think I’m going to get a couple inches cut off too. But mostly I’m excited for the root fix.
I have GOT to find a cheap way of touching up roots without paying my hair guy tons of money every month. I really thought I’d get at least 8 weeks out of this blondification. I shall be consulting with him about this tonight.
BUT YAY! It’s HAIR DAY!!!
I can’t wait for a hair day. I decided when I lose 30lbs I get to get a nice haircut. I’ve been growing my hair for 2 years with only little trims but it’s time for a style. I’m 5lbs away for making an appointment
Sunsyndrmr, as one who has been winning and losing the “battle of the bulge” over the last 20 years, I say to you “congratulations!!!” That’s awesome!!!
Mock, can’t help you in the hair department. I’m way too cheap to do more than pay to have my hair cut every 8 weeks. I’ll not get it colored and have to deal with skunk roots. (That’s what happens when graying hair grows in!)
You’ve gotta start doing it yourself in between times. The alternative is just getting highlights and letting them grow out for a longer time before you have them re-done.
Get a friend who does their own hair to show you and help you the first time. Find out from your stylist what color in over-the counter color you should get ( I mix two.) It’s worth it, you rock the new color!
Have Mr. Mock do it for you. Yeah, that’s the ticket.
You need to alternate between lowlights/all-over color and highlights. You should not be highlighting every 6 weeks, girl. You’re going to end up with some fried-ass hair.
Take it from a coloring whore. I know these things.
I just tossed my March issue of Lucky magazine in the recycling, but it had a bunch of good tips as to hiding roots.
