Look at the new do! I've been feeling kind of frumpy with gray hair starting and really ratty hair from the salt water and sun. Combine that with a no-style hair cut and things were looking bad.
My neighbor said she was going in to have her hair "painted" and I asked to come along for an $8 haircut. Instead I ended up getting my hair painted too for the first time. Jeff loves it because it is red red red. Hard to tell in these photos but it is really really red - a very nice change! Here's the do from the side.
Here it is from the back - note that there is no more hair on my back. Nothing to leave itchy hairs sticking on my back. No hair to tangle in the first stage of the diving gear. No hair to make me sweat. Believe it or not it is long enough to put in a pony tail when we dive or cave or garden.
It's a little longer in the front so when I put it back it stay back. It is so girly !
It is really red so Jeff is happy.
So why would a person do this? I wanted hair off my back. I was tired of it tangling in my scuba gear. I just needed a change.
Why coloring it? It was an impulse thing. It started with Mary and Gary (in laws) giving me a gift certificate for having a manicure and pedicure before we moved here - not something I would ever pay for. The manicure was weird - like paying someone to do personal hygiene - but the toes? Ever since then I paint my toenails. I think the hair may be like that - something that makes things a little nicer... so Mary and Gary take a look. I am stepping out into the world of girl. And friends at home...did you ever think you'd see the day? Kind of like the belly button ring. Out of character but fun...
