    Accidentally died my hair khaki during lockdown. Supposed to wash out after a few washes. It didn't.
    You tube advised tomato ketchup. I decided puree would be more effective. The bathroom looked like a scene from psycho😱
    It did take it out a bit. Eventually got to hairdresser who put purple stuff on it.
    Never again. Proud to be grey. Grey Pride and all that.

    How do you accidentally dye your hair - irrespective of colour?
  • JennyJJennyJ Posts: 10,576
    I used blue hair dye once after the so-called light ash brown turned out too orange. It did work, but the bath looked as if someone had murdered a smurf in there. I've dyed and cut my own for years but it's long and wavy, so it's very forgiving.

    The colour was accidental  caused by a reaction with my own colour.The permanence was accidental. The dyeing was regrettably deliberate. I thought it would be safe to have a go seeing as we couldn't go out and   I found a box in a drawer. The devil found work for idle hands.👺

    I trim OH's beard and 'tache but not his hair.  The local hairdressers charge him 23€ every 2 months which is fine.  Rasta's haircut costs 67€ every 2 months.   I get mine cut once a year at most and do my own fringe.  Last haircut cost 25€ and removed 12"/30cms which is enough for a wig for someone suffering from chemotherapy hair loss so I shall wait till I have another 8"/20cms to chop as that's the minimum for wigs.

    No colouring as, despite advancing years, it's still mostly dark blonde with silvery bits at the temples now.  It's also thick and dead straight so I will never have it cut short as I'd have to wash and style it every day and life is too short.

    I'm curmudgeoning at the wasp hiding in the runner bean foliage who decided to sting me on the hand yesterday.  Now red and swollen from little finger tip to wrist...

    I wish I’d done that obe,  I cut more than 16” off mine.  Then more with the trimming. 
    I should have remembered as I sponsored  someone a few years again. She had her head shaved and had enough for a wig for a child with cancer.

    OH went to the barbers yesterday.  He has lovely thick hair of which I am very jealous and it grows very fast - he was looking like a member of the Rolling Stones so decided to get it cut.  His usual chap wasn't there so he went to the Turkish barber in town.  And came back with a very short haircut with his ear hairs and eyebrows trimmed and looking very distinguished. All for £10. From Rolling Stone to James Bond's father.  He hates it though.
