Just a lil color

Okay, so I got this bright idea yesterday that I would try and color my hair myself and save about $50 bucks. I never attempted to color my hair before....I ahve always left that up to the professionals...but how hard could it really be????

After church I head off to pick out the "right shade". That was the hardest part. I wanted to pick a color that would cover my really blonde streaks and my ever increasing little gray friends. Did I just say gray...Oh Lord I did...I am way too young and cool to sport any gray hair!!!!

Anywho, after much consideration of all the brands and colors there are too choose from I settled on Loreal Feria Expresso Medium Brown. Sounds pretty huh??? So I head home and straight to the bathroom to begin. It was actually a pretty easy task...you mix bottle #1 with bottle #2 and then add tube thingy #3 and shake well. Being oh so careful not to leave the flat cap on too long due to the hint on the directions that it could explode!!!!! Thanks for that hint in the fine print....and I am getting ready to put this exploding chemical on my head.....yep! I was pretty good in Chemistry back in High School so off I go like a mad scientist.

I get all applied and gooped up good and proceed to waith the 25 minutes to rinse.
After the 25 minutes and head to the tub to rinse all the color out and add the shine conditioner provided in the kit....I would hate to have to sport the dull mousey brown!!!!!

And here are the results....before and after pics below. Let me know what you think. I am pretty pleased with the out come. It's a little darker than I thought it would be and did cause Kyle to run screaming down the hall when he first saw me but I am sure it will fade in few weeks.
