Its been four months since I last coloured my hair, earlier (pre-colouring) it looked like a horse's tail.... and it now looks like a horse's tail that has faded... also the new growth near the roots were showing the greys like no ones business and giving my mum nightmares...she literally begged me to visit a salon and get my hair recoloured, with subtle hints that I choose a more conservative colour this time.
The last time round, I came home looking like a peacock with red, brown and golden streaks. All my friends politely said it looked good, but now I know better... When Shil saw my hair today she literally engulfed me in a bear hug with the declaration "I love your hair now, I hated the red, it looked like you applied mehendi and wasn't an expensive salon look, don't EVER EVER colour your hair red.", Shil point noted love, I ain't going to colour my hair anything but dark brown going forward. My mum was also more forthcoming with her true feeling on my last hair colour, now that it was out of sight and out of mind, she said whenever she saw me she felt like my head was on fire... To be honest I liked it, so did A, initially it did look like my head was on fire, but as the colour faded it looked very very pretty.
The worst observation came from my brother... I asked him what he thought of the hair colour, hair cut and shine treatment, all of which lasted about two hours in total and cost me seven thousand rupees and he goes "So you paid seven thousand rupees to remove the colour from your hair ??"
That's what you get when you ask for the male point of view, from now on I'm going to stick to my gal pals, thank you very much.
