Yesterday I had had enough of my re-growthy, red tinged hair (for anyone who doesn’t know, I have a ongoing struggle with red tinged hair after having my hair bright red for a few years), so I decided I wanted it natural looking for a while. I went to the shop and got some brown hair dye. I followed the rule of when you see a colour you want, go a shade lighter and picked up a “Chestnut” shade, rather than “Dark Chestnut” which is what I thought my natural hair colour was. I got home and realised I’d accidentally got one Chestnut and one Dark Chestnut tube because the stupid shop had messed up their filing. I was just going to leave the Dark Chestnut one and only use the Chestnut one. I left it in for like 10 minutes out of the 45 that the packet suggested and noticed it was wayyyy too dark, so washed it out. I got out and it was pretty much black and realised I’d accidentally used the Dark fucking Chestnut tube instead of the Chestnut tube. So now, I have pretty much jet black hair and am going to need to bleach the fuck out of it and re-do the dye again tonight. Fuck my fucking life. I’m going to go and get a “Light Chestnut” tube just to be on the safe side. Argh!
