Hair Emergency

Sam and I went to the store this morning to pick up a few things, and while we were there, we bought some hair dye for me. I've been thinking about coloring my hair a little bit darker brown sometime, and I decided to finally do it.

So tonight after dinner, we set up our hair studio in the bathroom and took the necessary precautions with towels and garbage bags to avoid dying everything in the bathroom dark brown. Sam has dyed people's hair like this several times before, so I had her dye it for me.

An hour and a half later, I had finished rinsing and conditioning my hair and took a look in the mirror. It looked a lot darker than I was expecting, but it was still really wet so I didn't freak out yet. Then after I dried it with my hair dryer, I realized that my hair was basically black! Then I freaked out.

Sam has been trying to help me stay calm by saying things like, "It's probably just the lighting." and "Black totally matches everything." Oh my goodness. I'm currently wearing one of Sam's hats with the hood of my sweatshirt up. That is my plan for hiding my black hair tomorrow, and then I'm hoping to go have it professionally fixed as soon as possible.

Oh man...
