Hair Dye Warning...

lbittma80

I've been dying my hair for a long time and regularly use the same color/brand all that.  Uh...some goofy stuff is going on with my hair this time.  The roots didn't take the color AT ALL!  I asked at my last doctor's appt. and she said it could be because of hormones.

UGH.  Now I have to have it fixed professionally because it looks so retarded.

Yup. I was told to never try to dye my hair while pregnant because the results most likely wouldn't be what I expected.

That's why one should never do it on their own and leave it up to the professionals!!!  It costs a lot more to "fix" it then to have it done right in the first place!

Just for the record; if it was a is it safe Q; I would not have told you, you are an idiot. I feel bad for people when b*tches do that.

i'm surprised using retarded as an adjective isn't offensive to more people. it's very insensitive and rude

fwiw, i had my hair dyed professionally around 22 weeks and their dye didn't take to my roots either....

i also thought we had already discussed the whole retarded usage and were done with it.  you can't please everyone.

the word "retarded" isnt one of my favorites. Buuuuut I asked what your problem is because of the "grow up" and telling her what not to reference to. I just thought; gee a simple; that word offends me; I would appreciate you using a differnt word. would be a little nicer. No biggie. Just a thought.

OMG...what if it's..GULP...unfixable!!

Guess I'll have to start hat shopping then..

you'll be fine.  she just had to go back and recolor the roots again a little bit darker.

but on the bright side, it's almost spring... time for cute hairscarfs!!

 It's a WORD... get over it or keep yourself sheltered & off the internet & forums if you can't handle people's use of words or lang. All you should care about is whether YOU use it or not- you're the only one you can control.

Oh man, good luck.  Frankly, a lot of people say a lot of things on this board that offends me ("retarded" is not one of them) but I just keep it to myself. 

I had a co-worker once to whom I was venting and I said something along the lines of "that's so retarded."  She was like, "my brother is retarded" which I totally forgot but even she still laughed about it.  It's also like when I call my gay best friend a "homo" and then I call my husband a "homo" in the same sentence.  People need to realize that our generation is increasingly using these colloquialisms whether they find them offensive or not.  It's not that we mean them literally, it's just that they've become part of our lingo.  Maybe it's sad, maybe it's not.  Women were called bitches for the longest time and it was extremely offensive.  Now it's a term of empowerment for a lot of women.  Once people stop being so sensitive, we can actually move forward.

Me too!! I was so ticked when that happened last week. I can't afford to get it fixed either. So lame.

I read an article about how just a few generations back, people would have died before they said "Fvck", or "A$$", or refered to a homosexual in any way, but it was normal to use derrogatory racist terms in normal conversation.  The article went on to say that it's pretty much flip-flopped in that our generation uses swear words daily but would get angry at the use of racist terms.  It's interesting.
