Hair Trauma 101

I have just had a crash course in Hair Trauma 101.

Through the years, I have been a red head, blonde, brunette, with short hair, long hair, funky hair, spiked and probably about everything else. Never have I been upset, because my feelings have always been, "it's hair, it will grow back."

Well I have experienced my first hair trauma soon followed by mental breakdown.

I had really searched for the style I had wanted. Something simple. The color was supposed to be a rich brown, kind of like a chocolate bar, with caramel highlights (I think I was hungry while thinking about this.) I even found the picture of the style from a magazine so it would be easy for the stylist to achieve.

When she was done, she turned me around to the mirror and the picture to the left is what I looked like.

I am devastated!!!
Mortified!
Embarrassed!
Humiliated!
Furious (who would spend $140 for this?)

Even Joshy looked at me and cried when I got home. Shawn, he knows better not to say anything. And Tyler, you ask? He is the sweet one, who says, "Mommy, you're still beautiful, but I want your hair back brown again."

I am working on trying to fix it, but if anyone has the answers please respond, for I am in need of some serious hair advice.

You sound so upset! You poor thing... A similar thing happened to me (and gathering from the poodle pic AND having seen the magazine pic you were referring to, I KNOW you must not have gotten what you wanted!) The only thing I could do was to have the color stripped out, then a different color added. It did work, but it was expensive and took quite a while. Bring a book!
