And then they were totally blue!
My ears, that is. I bleached, then dyed, the bottom half of my hair blue. Well, at home I got as far as bleaching and turning my hair a pale green color that made it look chlorine-stained. I got my ears, and they turned out the nice turquoise shade I was trying for. Then I went to the lady who cuts-ahem, used to cut-my hair. She told me it was hopeless and I should wait for it to grow out. She also told me to take lots of pictures so I would remember my horrible mistake. She didn't seem to get that I liked it way better than plain brown, even if it didn't turn out exactly as I wanted.

Then, my neighbor recommended a different hair stylist, who not only got exactly what I was going for, but also managed to dye it a nice, vibrant, rich blue for me, no problem.

I'm tempted to write about how free and self-expressed I feel now, but I guess that's obvious. :)
