What To Do When You Have a Bad Hair Color

Yup… I’m speaking from experience. Not always a fun place to be at.

Last Friday afternoon I went to my usual salon to get my hair highlighted. Unfortunately I wasn’t able to get an appointment with my usual girl, so I had to make an appointment with another colorist. I don’t know if maybe I sensed something was going to be amiss, but I certainly felt it in my bones leading up to the day. I just kept thinking, “I should really wait till I can see who I want to see.”

Well, I didn’t.

I wanted blonde highlights, nothing different for me… but the problem was, the color didn’t come out like it’s supposed to. Instead of having it look dimensional (which I love), she dyed it where it looked like one-solid color. For someone like me, hair like that really looks bad on me. I was so upset that I cried the whole way home. I was able to get it fixed this past weekend, but I had to get creative while I waited.

So what to do when you have a bad hair color? (I literally did ALL of these this past weekend while I was waiting for my hair appointment.)

1. Wear hats!
2. Take a gigantic pair of sunglasses and use them like a hairband (they will distract attention).
3. Use a gigantic headband to conceal what you can.
4. MAKE AN APPOINTMENT immediately for a fix.

Has this ever happened to you? What have you done?
