Things Don't Always Go to Plan

Last week, I went into the barbershop for a haircut. Baydaa did a nice job of cutting the sides.  I mentioned to her that my now-greying hair on the sides no longer matched the old hair in the ponytail. I really stopped cutting hair on the back of my head years ago. She said she could dye it.  I made my appointment for 11:30 today.

   

The intention was to go silver grey. However, after trying to bleach it, we ended up with some hair that was still too yellowish. She tried to put in some toner but didn't like the uneven effect. So, we decided to just go with the beaching.  I seldom sit more than ten minutes in a barber chair.  Today, I was literally there for hours!  It wasn't fun.

The image is the before pic but we didn't bother with an after one. I will settle for a now lighter, more-even shade of blonde that has a few streaks. Maybe I can return in the spring when we can try to achieve some shade of silver.
