need hair advice again

[pywacket]

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 think I do ..I've been various shades of red for oh my god about 20+ years? I just wonder what I'd look like with Emily colored hair (which is what I had when I was wee). Of course I'll probably end up being red again in a few months, but I'm searching for a color I can be consistently --that looks good but is visually interesting and doesn't scare the natives (I want em to have friends out here).

Does that make sense or do I ramble?

And please to come out and visit--let me know what you have available this month and next. I did completely space on rescheduling the november visit.

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.
