There are some things worth damaging or cutting your hair. For example, a formal event that requires some hair curling. I'll plug in my 35 year-old hot rollers for the occasion. Or let's say I am hired for a modeling shoot (it has happened...in a distant past), then I'll let the hair stylist tease, torture, and twirl my hair for a picture...only because I'm getting PAID. Or better yet, if I get cast in a million dollar movie which requires me to play a tough bartender in the sleazy part of town and they need me to shave my head....I may oblige (yes, I'm dreaming at this point). But I tell you, I will never, EVER spray on cheap hair color for a Halloween costume ever again!
My husband and I were Thing 1 and Thing 2 as back up for my Cat In The Hat son, and I thought it would be a good idea to save money on the wigs by finding some quick hair color. I found this $5 spray can of blue hair color at CVS and thought to myself "wow, did I strike gold!" Maybe the price should have been a signal, though there may be great inexpensive finds. Or maybe the sound of that spray paint ball upon shaking was a warning (no officer, I wasn't going to tag this concrete wall, I'm going to just tag my hair.). But more importantly, the directions to spray on hair in "a well-ventilated area, preferably outside", was a clear message that this stuff shouldn't be sprayed anywhere near a human being, much less my hair that I am desperately trying to grow. Yeesh!
The sound you never want to hear coming from your hair is "crunch". Hair should never be crunchy. Ugh, my long hair organs were cringing. It also smelled of really bad, gaseous, obsolete men's cologne. Awful. And look at the picture? You can barely see the blue. Sigh.
I thought that spray color or a wig would be the same
But look at my picture....spray color is so lame!
So, take it from someone who wants only the best for your growing hair. Dish out the dough for the wig :-)
