It burns!

[Jester]

I know, I know, we hear that phrase too often on this site, often about someone's stupidity. But in this case, I am being literal!

Today, for the first time in my not quite 40 years on the planet, I got my hair dyed. I got both my hair and goatee dyed the darkest of blacks (from my normally dark brown coloring), in preparation for tomorrow's Funeral for Cupid pub crawl I am organizing.

When I said I was going to go all black, damn it, I meant it!

But the shit they use STINKS, and worse, it BURNS! Or it did when she was putting it on. I guess that happens when you have a dry scalp like mine.

I just don't know how people do this to themselves.

That being said.....DAMN, I look good!

You get used to it.

That being said, pics or it didn't happen.

Pics or there's no proof and you're a liar! A LIAR!

[Parrothead]

This thread is useless without pics! (Where is that smiley, anyway?)

I only lie to my mother and the government, thank you very much.

As for pics, we will be taking many of them at the Funeral for Cupid pub crawl tomorrow night. I shall post them forthwith....well, once I have recovered, that is.

I kind of did the opposite once.

See, I've shaved my head (well, taking it down to as close to my scalp as I can, razors do not do nice things to my head) for the past 15-18 years and for a LARP game, I decided to let it grow out a few weeks, and then bleached it and applied a silver-ish color to it for the night.

The nice thing was that after the game, I was able to shave it all off and go back to normal, with nobody at work looking at me strangely.

I didn't have any pain when I did mine, but yea, the stuff stinks. Not as bad as a perm though.

My hair is naturally curly. A perm is something I'll never need.

Amusingly, I was out drinking at my place of employment yesterday, and no one noticed the change. I guess the difference between dark brown and black is more subtle than I realized.

Even more amusingly, the only person who DID notice the change was my new roommate, who has known me for far less time than most of my coworkers. Weird.
