If there is anyone who understands my desire for pink hair it is my good friend Janine. She has the most awesome purple hair. The kids and I went to Klerksdorp to visit Janine and her family. The mission: to catch up with a great friend and to have my hair done with permanent pink rather than the wash out stuff I had been using to date. Her Aunty has a salon next to her house and they had ordered some special dye for me.
Well Mission accomplished. We had such a great trip, only pity was that it was just too short. Janine is one of my on line chat buddies who has become a real life best friend. She and her wonderful hubby and 2 beautiful girls made our stay so much fun.
Sitting up late, drinking sherry and chatting with a friend who loves you just the way you are and understands the need to be a little different is so precious. Life at the moment is anything but easy but it is people like Janine that carry you through.
So from 10am-3pm this is what I did
Blond highlights (the highlights that this pink is done on were put in at the beginning of May so my roots are in much need of help.)
Left over hair dyed my natural colour:
Coffee and wait:
Rince. (Can you belive my hair was the same colour as my daughters when I was a kid?)
The blond before the pink:
Adding pink:

Rince again:
look at Nicci’s hands!
Cut:
Blow dry:
The end:
I hate the way my nose wrikles up when I smile, I have been told it is cute – maybe it is in the eye of the beholder
A huge thanks to Janine for organising this for me and helping look after my kids during the day. And to Nicci at Salon Gigi thanks a million I totally love it!!!

I love your hair. Had to call my 11-year old daughter to come see your pics and she loved the colour too.

Your hair looks AWESOME! And for the record, your nose crinkle is very cool
My Dear Petal!
It was super fabulous having you and the Kids here! You are too kind with your comments, but Thanks and you need to know what an amazingly wonderful friend you are too – Love You! You are an awesomely strong and couragous woman and don’t forget that.
Can’t wait to see you again soon!
I love it! And I am so jealous… I would LOVE to do something like that to mine! And I hate the way the tip of my nose goes red when I laugh!
[...] My real hair colour is strawberry blond like my daughter in the picture in this blog but it lost a lot of the copper and was more just mousy brown – I can’t do mousy [...]
