Do NOT try this at home

well unless you would like to look like a skunk, a dirty skunk at that. I tried to highlight my hair today and.....yeah....things didn't go very well. I have washed and blow dried my hair 3 times today. I dyed it my regular color first, blow dried it, then put some highlights in it and they weren't dark enough which I didn't realize until after I blow dried it. Soooo I put more highlighting stuff in to make it a little lighter. The goal here was to have chunky highlights. Well my hair has a lot of red tint to it so I have to watch that when I dye it. Yeah, now I have
O-R-A-N-G-E highlights. Not attractive. I am not dying it anymore today since it seems like that's all I gotten done today. I will dye it back to my normal color tomorrow.

I think I got a little too brave. I quit going to my hair girl and started dying my hair myself and things were going great. Even my hair girl liked the color of my hair. I thought hmmm spring is coming so lets add a little glam to it. Now I know that I need to stop at the main color and go back to the hair girl for the highlights.

I learned my lesson. Don't follow in my footsteps.
