Mermaid Hair...

When I was a little girl, I used to dream of being a mermaid.  This was no doubt fueled by a heavy  Splash obsession.  {Remember how she named herself Madison, and that was such a weird, nonsense name at the time?  Or maybe I just thought it was.}  Anyway, Amanda and I would spend hours in the pool pretending we had pretty mermaid tails and dreaming up all sorts of exciting adventures.  We certainly had a healthy imagination, I can tell you that!

Shortly after arriving on Wednesday, Amanda showed me an image that she Pinned.  I agreed that it was pretty fantastic, but didn't think much more about it at the time.  Funny thing though, that image kept coming into conversation as the days went by.  We became increasingly more obsessed with the "mermaid hair".  But, we couldn't pull it off....or could we?  {I definitely took some convincing.  I've NEVER dyed my hair, and was I really gonna start with pink, purple and blue!?}  Along with my much cooler, and much younger sisters, we decided to go for it.  We all split the cost of supplies and Amanda and I went to work.  {Later, we passed off the goods to the sisters....whose hair I still haven't seen!}

 

my "colorist".  {That's what we were calling each other.}

 

Waiting for the magic to happen...

Amanda's sultry mermaid locks...

 

And, mine.  {You can tell who the photographer is.   All the good ones were taken by her.}

It's been fun to get reactions from people who notice.  It does add a nice little bit of sass for summer.  I sort of love it, especially the pink.  {There really is blue in there too, it just didn't show up that well.}  

So, that's the Mermaid Hair!  It's all mine for 5-40 washes. :)

Oh, and for those of you who are wondering, Jon's reaction was positive.  He said he was happy that I did something kinda wild and out of the ordinary.

Have you ever dyed your hair?  What's the craziest color you've ever done? 

p.s. I learned that my hair forms the same curls every time.  Each lock that is colored has come together each day.  I figured they just randomly formed.  Interesting, no?
