need hair advice again

said the girl who can't leave her hair alone.

It is too orange I think. I either need to go back to full on red or (cue ominous music) go blonde. Which I haven't in years and think would be fun. I tried to get an appointment with Carrie, but I was too late, she's booked up....

so how can I get a good blonde color, like Emily's, without ending up green? I have some speedlite to er, strip it. Luckily my hair is in great condition right now (all the sad parts got chopped off).

So how to avoid green? Any tips?

I've found that people are pretty accepting of natural hair w/ "interesting" highlites ... I get a lot of complements when I do light auburn w/ red streaks or tips. It used to be different, i remember when i was more punk (er, long ago!) people used to yell stuff and throw stuff at me. Now even old ladies complement my hair :p I think people are coming around a little, especially chicago people, to the idea that you could be pretty much normal even if you have interesting hair.

Yeah, actually, any time after Christmas is fine, or i can even take a day off work (that might be best in fact) ... are you doing anything on the 18th or 19th during the day? I could take a train up and arrive at maybe 9-ish? I'll have to check the train schedule. I would need a ride in from the train station though unless it's withing walking distance or the busses are really good, I don't know the area and i'd hate to get lost.

hey, we'll meet you at the train station, it is only a few blocks from the house.
The 18th or 19th of January--nothing planned, choose your day and we'll do it. And I volunteer Jam to take you home too.
