Shameless Hair Post

[bloodyrosemccoy]

Hey, everyone! Check out what Ed the Hairbender did to my hair!



It's hard to dye it when it's Real Short like that, so what we do is let my hair grow out for a few months till it's all curly and fluffy. Then Ed dyes the sections with foil, lets the dye set, and washes it out. Finally, he cuts the hair.

The bad news is that it's been less than a week and already it's growing out. The good news is that I've found that it matches my hair color enough that it doesn't look ridiculous when it does grow out.

Only problem is, now my head is cold. And it just seems a shame to wear a hat when I can't show off my patchwork head.

Oh, that's cool! But, erm, at very very first glance, it looked like a bald spot. Just for the first split-second!

At least that impression wasn't sustained!

I love your calico hair.

Thanks! And well-spotted with the cat reference--the first time I did a patchwork dye job, I brought Ed the Hairbender a few photos of tortoiseshell cats for reference. It was a lot more muted and dappled and, well, tortoiseshell-y. I liked it so much I used it in a story, but I also like the flame colors a lot!

Neat!

There shouldn't be any shame about showing off Tortie-hair! It's awesome!

It is unfortunate timing with the weather and the need for head insulation, tho. I have a similar history of deciding to shave my head in November or something, and then start growing my hair back out a couple of years later in April :P

Pretty! It's just like a calico cat. ^_^
