When I grow up I want to be a

I have no idea, but I am always open to new options. So the other day when a friend had a problem I volunteered to learn new things and help.

My friend had dyed her hair but the dye only took in the front and the rear was a darker tint. Quick research on Google confirmed her understanding of the problem. Us men have the advantage because we don't have to dye our hair unless we are tranny or something. Old dye from prior dye jobs was affecting the outcome of her new dye job.

So I did a quick cosmetology study, then watched a few U tube videos and pronounced myself ready for the task.

I do not know if this will work out as a new career, but it was fun.

We swung by the Beauty supply store and purchased some stripper, the dye colors she wanted and a conditioner. I threw a towel over her shoulders and charged in with the stripper. I let it set for 20 minutes then shampooed her hair twice. It was quickly apparent much of the old color was removed. A little too long on the sitting perhaps as traces of blonde were observed, but not much. Hey, my first effort, cut me some slack..

Then I mixed the desired dye with the conditioner and proceeded to section out her hair and work the dye in. Later when it was washed out the hair was the perfect shade of red she wanted and evenly done this time. [In spite of the YouTube videos I had been a little worried about the outcome, because mixed in the bowl the color was tomato red, but as she assured me, that is not the color the hair would be when done.]

Here she is as the stripper is being worked into the dark portions of the hair.



Using the television series Orange Is The New Black as my guide, I am surmising that someone who can do this sort of thing well can earn good money. So maybe I am looking at a new hobby, or perhaps even a new career?
