To dye or not to dye?
Jun. 19th, 2007 02:24 amActually,
I was looking for color swatches of hair, like on the boxes. It helps me construct characters. While thrashing around on a bad Google day, I found this article:
http://www.hairboutique.com/tips/tip095.htm
Very interesting -- the writer is a professional who is great with color, and has a list of warnings for self-application -- as in, mondo caution and a friend as maniacal about getting it right as yourself.
I really don't want to do this, but between silver hairs finally starting to show up, the LBb arthritis and the weight gain from the drugs, if I 'm going to look young enough for a job, hair touch-up is in my future.
Of course, I have someone wonderful here in town who does great color -- but we're talking $$$ for all that skill. Wish I had the $$$ for his work. I am paying him to do make-up for me for passport and driver's license photos. I look half-dead when I'm trying to look good. Not a chance I can wander in off the street and get a good snapshot.
