I always feel inadequate as a woman at salons, like I'm supposed to chatter away to the person working on my hair, and I fail. :-( Plus I hate hate hate having to sit facing a mirror for so long. Then they always want to blow it out, and I end up with TV anchorwoman helmet hair. My hair really needs to dry naturally. The only good part about the salon is the shampoo, and getting to wear the cape.
I've found my solution for now-- I used henna twice and now my hair is bright orangey red. I enjoy the henna process-- it's kind of like playing with mud. Very do-it-yourself, retro-hippie. Perfect for me. I wonder if I can get it even redder, more like ketchup.
And once you've henna'd, it isn't safe to use chemical dye-- so this should discourage any further unwise experimentation.
