I made a trip to the hair salon yesterday! It was long overdue; I needed to trim my hair badly considering my last haircut was 6 months ago. So I went with my mom, thought I’d just get a simple, hassle-free trimming and dye my whole head back to boring black… but eurgh, Mom just had to be the persuasive demon that she can be and convinced me – at the last minute, no less! – to replace my old 6-month-old red (now faded to dull brown) highlights.
SO I FIGURED – since I already did Sho’s colour (Sakurai-wifey represent, yo!), I should move on to the next Arashi colour because it is only appropriate to exhibit inner fangirlism, mm-hmm. Yellow/Blonde is like a been-there-done-that kinda thing, since I already did the combo of brown dyed hair and blonde highlights years ago after I left secondary school. Green is a little… hmmm, unsightly? LOL IDK. I had awesome tweeps on Twitter giving me suggestions (Kitty was all for blue and Azureen thought purple would be awesome), but because the hair salon didn’t have blue dye, so at the end I didn’t have any other choice but to go for purple/violet. But it’s all good, though! Purple is an awesome, badass colour, and like Azureen told me, it’s Matsujun’s colour and it’ll give me a good excuse to go full-on DoS mode :Dv
So I endured the torture of sitting in a salon chair for almost 4 hours. I’m just as bad as a 5-year-old with ADHD – I get restless easily, in fact, just the state of not being able to move freely is a huge nuisance to me. I was constantly crossing/uncrossing my legs, flicking through past-issue magazines, tweeting/texting from my phone, or even stoning away and staring into empty space (I think I got weird looks from the junior hairstylist, haha).
AND NOW. Pictures, aye?

Yes, the purple isn’t very obvious unless at a super-close distance (see above), and yes, I still have my old reddish-brown streaks (not sure if the hairstylist did a sloppy job of bleaching it out, or she purposefully left it there). I don’t know if it’s a good thing or a bad thing… but either way, I just think the whole new look is AWESOME! The purple/brown combo is actually pretty awesome itself, too; it gives me a faux rebellious look, fuck yeah. Would you say anti-hipster? I would, just for the hell of it because it sounds cool. LOL! And while the purple isn’t obvious, the hairstylist did say that the dye is deeply concentrated and that it takes a couple washes to get the colour to ‘strike out more’ (don’t see the logic in that, but then again, I’m not the trained expert).
Now what I’m really looking forward to, is going back to school next week. New semester starts Monday, and while I’m pretty excited for that itself… I CAN’T WAIT TO SEE THE LOOK ON MY CLASSMATES’ FACES WHEN THEY SEE MY HAIR. Oh mannnn it’s gonna be so hilarious. They’re gonna be thinking I’m just beyond insane. How exciting is that?! :D
(yes, you must be thinking I really am insane, but hey, don’t be hatin’ yo!)
o.O i want that colour..
