Cheyennes New Hair

On Memorial Day I let Cheyenne color her hair black. It seemed like a good compromise because she wanted to do something and Dad said NO to pink and/or blue. We went to Rite Aid and bought a couple of boxes of dye for $5. Our friend came over and dyed her hair. She loved it. At first. Then it grew out and she had a skunk stripe. That does not make for a happy girl. It also makes for a bit of anxiety about going to a new school where she knows exactly 4 people.

You can't see the stripe clearly here but in real life it was very noticeable.

Aunt Lid told me of her friend who she referred to as a "miracle worker". I was told we would never get the dye out so I was very skeptical. It took a lot of wavering back and forth because said "miracle worker" charges big money for her services. Money we did not have. After much consideration of both our pocket book and our girls feelings we decided we needed to go ahead and let her get it done.

7 hours of hair dying can take its toll on a young girl

We went over on Tuesday and talked tot he girl who said she could do something. We went back today and after 7 and a half LOOOOONNNNG hours she was finally finished. She had to have the black stripped out, then bleached, then colored and finally cut. She is thrilled with the final results. Daddy is much happier too.

I LOVE IT! I think she looks much more mature and girlie too.
