I had my first haircut in over 18 months today and I was quite happy with it when I first walked out of the salon.  Mind you, I wasn't quite as happy as when the hairdresser was cutting it and it was going all flippy and cute looking.  Or when I was getting my head, neck and shoulder massage, or the complimentary hand massage whilst I was waiting for the treatment to work it's magic. 

Anyway, she assured me that all I had to do to style it was step out of the shower and blowdry my head upside down, which suits me because that is a great way to start the day.  Getting the blood to the brain and all.  She then proceeded to get out one of those big, fat, round brushes and spent at least 15 minutes styling it, which is just not on my agenda at all so today was definitely the last time it will ever look so perfectly coiffed.

But now at the end of the day when the styling product has worn off and it's kind of settling in a bit, I just looked in the mirror and realised I'm now in the possession of a glorified mullet.

Will just have to try the upside-down-blowdry in the morning and see what happens.

After having dyed my hair some variation of red for the past 15 or so years, I no longer am.  Even though I last dyed it about 9 months ago and the ends retained only the vaguest hint of a shade that could be said to be a cousin-sixteen-times-removed of red.

Now I am Natural Golden Brown. Although, I'm not sure exactly how natural it is since it doesn't look anything like my own shade of murky-sludge-pond brown.

I'm also officially an idiot, as when I dyed my hair this morning I forgot to to protect my hairline and have managed to also dye half my face and now look like I have some kind of pigmentation problem.  This is what happens when you do things on the spur of the moment and rush to get it done before the baby wakes up.  No matter - will just adopt a hair-over-the-face style till it goes away and in two weeks no-one will even know the difference.

Oh, and I also made a bit of headway into taming the twin wildernesses that are my eyebrows this morning.  Next project is to attack my mo, even though I have a rather luxuiriant growth that would be the envy of the Tom Sellecks and Hercule Poirots of this world.  Alas, the colour clashes with my Natural Golden Brown locks.
