I am a big chicken now when it comes to dying my own hair. A few years ago, I touched up my own highlights with a kit I bought from the store. I did a really good job and saved myself a lot of money. So, when it came time to touch them up again, I thought it would be no problem. WRONG. My hair takes color really quickly and I left the coloring on my hair too long. I'm not talking minutes, I'm talking 45 seconds at the most. So, when I finally got the foil off my head, my once-honey-blonde highlights had turned a lovely shade of platinum blonde.
It wouldn't have been so bad except for the fact that it was platinum blonde at the roots and honey blonde at the base of my hair. It was a mess. I had to dye my entire head that color and wait a month or so to have it fixed. (I didn't want my hair to fall out, so that's why I waited).
Here's the worst parts....my skin color isn't flattering with platinum blonde hair.
And my sorority formal was the next night....of course, I was the one who organized it and I looked horrible.
I won't be dying my own hair anytime soon.
