She's Like A Sunset

I've had a hell of a year. I broke my foot and was wrongly told that I'd had a heart attack in the same week - and that was a typical week. So, now that I have learned that my heart is fine, and also that I do not have breast cancer and am not in fact likely to have a stroke (you see what kind of year it was), I decided to get my hair touched up to celebrate.

Since enough had washed out or grown out to switch up the colors a bit, I went with "sunset." Tea Cup, the stylist, literally used a photo of a sunset to choose the shades.

Ta-da!



I told Tea Cup that I'd wanted to have rainbow hair ever since I was eleven, and I'm finally fulfilling my dream. All the stylists were thrilled to hear that. It was a really fun atmosphere in the salon, as everyone was just so delighted to be there and be getting truly amazing hair.

Tea Cup said, "It's funny to say this, since obviously these aren't natural colors, but you really seem meant to have this kind of hair. Sometimes people come in and get looks that they thought they wanted, but then they have second thoughts and then the hair doesn't look right on them. But when someone's really happy and confident with what they want, then it always looks good on them. And that's what you got. It's a very bold look, but you're wearing it - it's not wearing you."

Wow, what amazing hair! Those blue bits in particular make it perfectly sunset, but I never would have thought so reading a written description. Your colourist is very skilled!

I've always wanted blue hair. You're convincing me that I should stop dreaming and start acting.

Thank you.

That looks AMAZING! Even better than the last one, IMHO.

I've always wanted rainbow hair too, or blue hair, but I have the feeling I might be one of those people who couldn't carry it off. So I very much enjoy people who can!

This looks terrific. 😍
