A Hairy Fail or a Fairy Tale?

It might be said that "a hair on the head is worth

two in the brush".....and I would agree.  I am glad to

have my hair and very aware that there are those who

long for hair (long or short!).

My stupidist "hair" moment by far was when I said to

my sister who was then going through chemo treatments

"I just can't do a darn thing with my hair - I hate it".  To which

she good-humouredly took off her baseball cap, rubbed her

scalp and said "yeah, I know just what you mean".  Good

thing she loved me the way she did - we laughed and laughed.

She passed away 14 years ago - and since that time I have always

really tried to be more self-aware - to reflect on what I am saying

and what I am complaining about and who it might impact. So this

is NOT a complaint (haha) just an observation about how things

don't always go the way we think they should.

I coloured my hair this morning and let me tell you - my hair

ALWAYS come out the same colour (medium brown).

Here's what I used:

I was relatively sure that things would go the way they always

go and I would get what I had always got...

 there have never been any surprises no matter what shade I pick -

......until......

My medium brown hair now looks like this:

I don't hate it - in fact I LOVE red hair -but suffice it to say 

it was not what I was going for!  I am sure, in a day

or two, it will grow on me (pun intended!).

Have you ever had a hair fail - a happy one or a gigantic

fail?  Tell us about it!

Happy Sunday!

p.s. clearly Miss Clairol didn't sponsor this post - if they

had - they probably would have been puzzled with my

outcome too!  I'd be happy to try other colours tho if they wanted

to send me some to try!
