highlight wrangler

so check it out, i decided, for the second time in my life, to try to color my own hair plus do highlights at the same time. i now understand why professionals get big bucks to do this kind of work. they’re paid to wrangle caustic chemicals and tinfoil so you don’t have to. and if you think it’s tough to do it on so-called “normal” hair, imagine trying to do it on one metric ton of curly poodle hair that won’t stand still or lie flat on the tinfoil for you.

in case you weren’t aware of this amazing but true fact, my hair magnetically repels tinfoil via its natural magical properties (i’m 1/4 elf on my mother’s side) and so that was hard to control what with my hair flinging the tinfoil to the four winds every time i wasn’t looking. not to mention, with all the red dye stains on the ceiling and walls from tinfoil splatters, it’ll take me weeks of scrubbing for it to come out and i’m sure the next owners of this house, when they use archaeological tools to carefully remove the different layers of paint, will think that someone was murdered in the bathroom and suddenly legends will be born about me.
