| - I finally decided to dye my hair again. I know. Not that adventurous for most women, apparently, but I have dark brown hair that looks black and most of the attempts at highlight/colour have made me feel like I'm living in a small town where the only hair stylist/colorist is legally blind.
I've had incredible luck using Yelp for a dramatic hair cut over the last year, so I thought I'd try it again for the colour. I saw Kristopher mentioned as someone who does a magical job turning dark hair into light. And I thought, what the hell. it's so short I can always dye it back if I look hideous.
At first, when I filled Kristopher in on the look I was going for - providing him a picture of the gorgeous model, Agyness Deyn - he looked worried. No strike that - he looked skeptical and concerned that I was off my head. In a nice way, of course. Kristopher is very lovely.
We talked a bit back and forth and then he brought out the blue goo to bleach my hair and 50 minutes later, I was walking out of there feeling like an MGM starlet from the 1950s. My hair looked like fluffy platinum cotton candy and cream soda. Awesome.
I loved the dramatic look so much that 2 months later, I got the itch again and asked Kristopher to dye it golden red, again thinking 'this could go very wrong.'. Kristopher had to use different dyes on my hair to colour the dark roots and the lighter platinum tone to achieve a uniform colour. And he did. My head, fortunately, does NOT look like a stick of Neopolitan Ice Cream. Instead, I got the exact look I was going for.
Thanks Kristopher for making me into a total Colour Beast rather than a Jungle Beast.
