Well, lost my hair dye virginity. It's not pretty. PIP

I think it's pretty orange-y, and I can see places where the color is uneven (my fault, no doubt) but don't want to add more dye for fear of increasing the Carrot Top-esque quality I now have going on.  I think it looks worse than this in person (ETA pic, so ami can laugh at my misfortune)...I think E's face says it all:

The good news is, it's semi-permanent dye, so theoretically I could wash my hair 20 times today (what with all my copious spare time--I'm sure the girls would just play independently without harming one another...ha!) and it would begin to return to my boring blondish color, right?

Right??

Oh that sucks!!

can you PIP?

It can't be as bad as you think it is. It's probably just because you aren't used to it. Give it a couple of days and then decide. I think you look good as a red head.

I actually love the color on you.

But thanks for scaring me into not trying this at home!

that's not real bad! It is a bit orangeish...but I see red too.

Give it a few days and see how you like it

Just like Tori Amos! (although you look prettier than she does)

I think it looks great/cute!

I think it looks fantastic!  If you think it's uneven, go to a salon and get it fixed, but keep that color b/c it looks great!  It'll be worth spending the money to have it professionally done if you think you will stay with that color for awhile.  Seriously, I think it suits you!

I actually think it looks really pretty. I can see why you are hyper aware of it if it's a new, brighter color than you're used to. But I think it looks good.

CubbyMama

Huh.  Well, thanks, guys!  I kind of expected to entertain you all with my ridiculous screwup, not hear that you like it!  It definitely could just be the shock of something so different, since I've never messed with my color before.  Hmmm.

I really like it..I'm sure in a few days you will get used to the new brighter you & love it too.

I like it! I think it makes you look younger!   (Not that you didn't before, but this just adds to your youthfulness)
