  • Interesting things happen when Joi gets bored and frustrated

    I'm incredibly frustrated with my job search. I couldn't even get an interview for a job as a gate attendant at a small college!

    So I decided to take the opportunity to do something I've always wanted to do, but been too concerned with being "office appropriate" to do. I'm gonna turn my hair crazy colors!

    I'll be using KoolAid for dye, since I can wash it out fairly easily if I *do* get an interview.

    I think I'll start with blue...

    That sounds like fun. My hair doesnt take dyes very well. I don't really like the idea of bleaching it but I think I may have to to attain the color I want

      That sounds cool, Joi. Love to see how it turns out.

      I had a high school secretary that for Halloween sprayed her silver hair bright purple. She got so many complements that she made it permanent. (And I do mean purple. Think Twilight Sparkle purple.)

        BAH. The blue I tried wasn't dark enough to make a difference, it seems. Going to dry it out then try for purple/grape...

            Maybe if I liked the smell of really fake raspberry lemonade... Looking forward to grape, though!

              Another fun way too dye your hair crazy colors and then be work appropriate later is too do "dips". That's when you dye 2 inches of the bottom of your hair the colour you like. The you just trim it off when you feel you need to do so.

              Though that can be costly in ways, the colour sticks.

                I'm doing something similar right now, actually. Wanted to test the purple, so I mixed up a one-packet batch and colored the bottom few inches of my hair. It should be ready to rinse before my friend comes over to help, so she can help me evaluate it.

                    Dammit. Purple didn't work either. Screw that, I'll buy some stuff. I was hoping to avoid the expense, but this is irritating me. Stupid hair.

                      Ok. Friend got purple dye and put it in my hair. Waiting for it to set now. My hair should be very very dark, with purple tints. Hooray!

                        every so often i consider that, however it doesn't always help with job hunting.

                        and now i'm on jury duty for 2 months so... well technically i could do it. i just think it would be somewhat disrespectful in my situation.



                        can't do koolaid dye myself cos my hair's rather dark, tho i've heard it's really gentle on your hair cos it doesn't strip anything.

                          Well, that was kinda the point. I haven't been able to land any interviews with my hair a "professional" shade, so screw it, I'm making it unprofessional.

                            Ok, for some reason, my camera doesn't want to pick up on the purple in my hair. But I swear it's there. It's a really dark grape color. It's pretty subtle in indoor lighting, but in the sun it just glows!

                              I can see a bit of the purple towards the ends and in the strands nearest your face. From what I can see, it looks good.
