Not saying a word!
SD15 decided to dye her hair AGAIN while at BM's. Apparently, she wanted it bright red this time, so she bleached it before putting in color. Seriously...it looks like crap! First off, these color doesn't suit her. Second, she did the worst job! You would think as many times she colored her hair, she would have this down...nope! She still only concentrates on the front...the back still has sections that are brown, other sections are orange. People will be laughing, this is certain! I'm not saying a word. I don't know if DH has noticed it, but he has told me that I need to teach her how to color her hair. I told him that she can't be taught...she will do it her own way like anything else I've tried to teach her to do correctly! He just gave me the "you're right" look. I know one thing for sure...I'm not helping fix it....not buying die or paying for someone else to fix it! She's stuck with it! Guess it is a testament to her laziness...I color my own hair, and I never throw my color away right a way, and I take my time to take a second mirror to look at the back and check for missed spots I may need to touch up after first wash! Guess that is too much extra work, so as long as it looks good from the front!
SD15 was pouting all over Facebook yesterday about how we didn't take her to X Games! She was responding to pics I posted with things like "I see you y'all are!" Really? Sorry if I didn't feel like spending $100 for her to ruin my day complaining about the heat and asking when we were going home! So into X Games, yet we are watching today's stuff on TV right now, and she's in her room doing whatever! As she says in all her posts lately....sorry not sorry!
Thank goodness I get another week of not having to deal with her! She has color guard camp this week! DH made her find a ride! I was shocked, but yay me!!!!
Reminds me of the old guy who
Reminds me of the old guy who upon seeing a girl with multi-colored hair kept staring at her. Finally she got fed up and asked him: "Hey Pops never seen dyed hair before"? He says "No its not that its just that about 20 years ago I got drunk and hopped the fence at the zoo and screwed a peacock. I though you might be my daughter".
Bwahahaha!!! Yeah...the back
Bwahahaha!!!
Yeah...the back of her hair looks pretty bad! It doesn't look like something intentional at all...you can tell she missed spots.
Oh, I know this all too well!
Oh, I know this all too well! I tend to keep my hair black underneath, and the rest a dark red. I only wash my hair every other day...sometimes even every third day...and in water as cool as I can stand for a shower. I never bleach it out, and only use a 20 developer because of grays (naturally a blonde with very coarse hair that soaks up color very well). I maybe blow dry my hair once a week for the weekend to straighten...rest of the week, I let it air dry to it's natural curl, and put it up when it annoys me.
I've tried to explain all this to SD15 when she first stared with this dye stuff. Her hair does not hold color well as it is. She insists on getting that box color instead of the pro stuff I get. She washes her hair every day, and if the disappearance of hot water at any other faucet in the house when she showers is an indication. Then, there is the daily use of the hair dryer and straightener (I only use the straightener if I have a stubborn spot that won't straighten with my brush and dryer and only on that spot). She's one if those who sprays hairspray and runs the straightener over the hair spray! Bad thing is, her hair is not naturally curly or wavy...any wave she has is from sleeping/laying on it! I've told her...even without the dying...wash it every other day and lay off the styling tools and products! Her hair always looks fried! She never listens!
SD15 was telling DH that she got scared while she was bleaching it...some of her hair came out! And every time she dies it, she misses spots! You usually can't tell unless she is in the sun, but this one is so drastic a change, that it looks really bad! Last summer, she bleached her tips and dyed them purple...within 2 weeks, all the purple was out and all she had were bleached, fried ends. This is going to look awful in a couple of weeks, I'm certain! Red fades bad, but at least mine fades to a normal looking copper red...no telling what hers will fade to!
I was helping SD8 to grow her
I was helping SD8 to grow her hair out so we could braid it and do fun stuff with it and I was paying for her hair trims and when she told BM what we were doing, the next weekend she showed up with a butch/boy haircut. And BM keeps getting it done like that every other week.
Ugh!!! I know how frustrating
Ugh!!! I know how frustrating that can be! When my ex was still in the picture, I was trying to get BS19's hair to look good before my wedding to DH...a good friend of mine is a stylist and owns her own shop, and I had been taking BS19 to her for a couple of months to try to get some areas evened out and stuff because of a bad hair cut. The visit right before my wedding, my ex shaved my son's head! I was ticked!!! Two weeks...there was no way my son's hair was going to grow out enough to look good for the wedding! My poor son was like, "I told him not to do it, that you were getting me a hair cut next weekend, but he just did it!" BS19 was only 7 at the time...poor kid!
Repeat after me... This is
Repeat after me...
This is not my child, therefore, not my job to teach her how to color her hair.
Lol...I already gave her
Lol...I already gave her solid hair advice...she didn't listen. That was 2 summers ago when she thought it smart to get a bottle of peroxide and "lighten" her hair! OMG...that one look awful!
Now that a week has passed since SD15 did the whole bleach/bright red thing, it is already faded to orange! It looks even worse! You can really see the spots she missed! She has been told many times that her hair doesn't hold color well, and she goes and does something that required her to bleach it? She did a very patchy job at that as it is (still lots of patches of dark brown roots). As the color slips out, it is looking really bad! I'm waiting for her to "need" more hair dye to fix it! I think she should be made to live with it a while...at least until just befor school starts back up, as a lesson! Is that mean? I mean, if she were on her own, she would need to think about, "Do I have the money to get this fixed if I screw it up?" She wouldn't simply be able to beg someone to buy her hair dye every two weeks!
