dolari | A story I've told a billion times. (Reply)

I've always wanted this color hair (minus the horns, mind you). I remember talking with my mom years around 12 years old if she would dye my hair this color green. Now my mom, who was normally a hardass about my looks, said no.

"Of course she said no!" You say. "Why would she let a twelve year old color their hair green! It's Crazy!"

Well, mom was, once upon a time, a licensed cosmetologist, and still cuts hair for family and friends, and enjoys doing it. When she saw I wanted to dye my hair that shade green, she said no, not because it was a funky color but because "Your hair won't match your skin tone, and it'll look awful. How about a deep dark blue? Or maybe an eggplant?"

I was so upset I couldn't have green hair that it was years before I realized that she happily offered a twelve year old a blue or eggplant dye job. :)

Hmmmm....maybe a darker green?
