Oh my GOD. I should be more careful about buying things to alter my hair color. I've always used the same stuff to bleach my hair. Two packets of lightener power, one bottle of 7th Stage, and then the big bottle of stuff I don't really even know what it is to be honest, I'm not a hair expert or anything. I wish I was but beauty school costs too much money and doesn't make enough unless you work for a really prestegious salon. OR SO I'VE HEARD.
Anyways, I usually buy the bottle that says 20 volume or something, and this time I got 40. Apparently that's a big NO-NO and you have to use 20 with the 7th stage. I didn't bother checking of course, cause I'm a total moron and I guess I figured the lady helping me find the stuff would mention something like that. She must have just assumed that I knew what I was dong. Oh well, not her fault.
Anyway, I mixed it up and put it in and noticed right away it seemed to be really warm to the touch. It always is warm but not THIS warm, right? So I put the bag over my head and went out for a smoke. Took two drags before I noticed the shit was dripping! That's never happened before, I couldn't make that shit drip for anything. So I immediately jumped in the shower and rinsed it. Not only had my hair achieved a golden blonde color from a dark brown in less than 5 minutes, but as I shampooed I noticed large chunks of my hair falling out.
OMG I was so freaked. So anyways my hair turned almost as brittle and fragile as spiderweb and I had to go back to the beauty supply store. Gabe bought me some restoration creme and even just one use has already done wonders. I couldn't tell until this morning. It didn't seem to do anything while it was in my hair, but long after I had rinsed it out, while I slept. Anyway... That's my horror story. I have to treat my hair every day for 10 minutes with this stuff and then not do anything to it, including use a blow-dryer, for at least 2 weeks.
Well at least it'll never happen again. As soon as my hair is healthy enough to dye again, I'm going strawberry blonde by the way. There's more to life than bleach blonde and chestnut brown. Don't look at me like that. It'll be fine. I used the wrong stuff, that's all. I've known people to bleach and dye their hair twice a week or more for over a year and their hair never fell out.
Oh but I felt a little more intelligent when the woman at Sally's told me about this woman who bleached her hair three times in the SAME DAY and then came back for more bleach. After the fourth time, she went bald and she called the store in hysterics. The lady warned her and she wouldn't listen. See, I'm not THAT dumb.
Other than that horrible adventure, my week with Gabe wasn't as great as I thought it should be. I kind of worry that we're growing apart. It's like all he cares about when I'm there is sex, otherwise it's almost like he ignores me to an extent. I need to talk to him about that. But like I said before, he goes through phases. In a couple months he'll start being all sentimental and sweet again. Oh well I'll talk to him about that when/if he calls tonight after work.

i've always wanted to go blonde but it just wouldn't work considering i'm brown by nature and well, it'd just look tacky.
