So, this weekend Jess and I decided to go to the Nebraska State Fair. Last year we had gone to the Iowa State Fair and it was great, we spent the entire day there and didn’t get to do everything, so we thought we’d be able to spend the entire day at the Nebraska one as well. Boy, were we wrong. We showed up at about 9:00 and by 12:00 we had seen everything (some things we saw more than once). There was a concert we wanted to see at 7:00… but we just couldn’t think of anything to do until then. After wandering around for about an hour, we decided to just leave. Jess had hurt her foot, and we just were too bored to go on. The weird thing is, they were discussing getting rid of the fair last year, and the state rallied to keep it, but I just don’t see why… there’s nothing there. We ended up spending the rest of the day just relaxing at home and complaining about the fair.
I know what you’re thinking “Explain the pink hairs, already!!”. Okay, here it goes. Before we went to the fair, we decided to dye Jess’ hair pink (for the concert) so we bought some “Atomic Pink” hair dye, and dyed her hair. It didn’t look bad, I thought it was quite cute… see for yourself:
As you can see, she wasn’t thrilled. Anywho, she got a new job and it starts on Monday (today) and she wanted to get the dye out. Therein lies the problem… it wouldn’t come out. She washed her hair about 12 times on Sat, and it still didn’t come out. I came up with a concoction of 40% Witchhazel (65%), to 60% Isopropyl Alcohol (93%). to pour on her hair. Amazingly it worked great, but it still didn’t get all the dye out. So she decided to dye over the pink. So we went to the store and purchased “Red Pulse” hair dye. So, it turns out that “Atomic Pink” + “Red Pulse” on light brown hair turns into a kind of Neon Maroon (the neon can only be seen in person)… a nice close-up of it here:
So, I think it’s cute, and she likes it’s better than the Pink… so that’s good. If you’re wondering, this is her with her natural hair color:
Anyways, I told her I’d make her feel better and dye my hair this Friday (it’s a 3-day weekend, so I should be able to get the dye out by Tuesday). So here’s the question, what color should I dye it? I have very dark brown hair, and I’m not bleaching it, so the colors to choose from are Black, Purple, Blue, or Green. Feel free to comment on what color you think I should go with, and you’ll see pics of the results in a week or so.
