I look like a badly bred badger!

[nellypope]

Ever said to yourself "how hard can that be", "ooh that's a good idea, I'll give that a go", "what could possibly go wrong". Im sure Scott (of the Antartic fame)  probably said the same thing, perhaps to his wife, over breakfast, when a little disgruntled with her husband's holiday plans I'm sure she probably said something like "Well why don't we try Corfu darling? I hear the weather's delightful?" . . . But no Scott put his size 9's firmly down and insisted on a jolly to the ends of the earth! . . . I now know how he feels ;-) 

I attempted home hi-lights . . . Mistake no 1. Actually mistake No.1 should be that I thought my mousey (with grey) hair could resemble Claudia Schiffers ice blonde locks.

I now resemble the bastard offspring of an angry badger and feral ginger Tom. Tell me I'm not alone in hair disasters?

LOL, post a pic nelly.

[nellypope]

I'm not sure any of you are ready for that visual horror ;-)

[chrissa1]

Oh go on.

[nellypope]

I'm praying that headscarfs make a quick and speedy comeback, otherwise I'll never make it to the hairdressers tomorrow.

[mrs_overall]

I've had several hair mishaps so I can sympathise.

I too think you should post a pic

[tonyav]

Go on nelly, we won't laugh honestly.

[chrissa1]

Oh yes we wiiiiill.

[B00]

<<<will laugh!

[ttfn]

nelly, sorry for your problem but thank you for the smile :)

The Queen often wears a headscarf so you will be in the very best company.

Good luck tomorrow x

[tonyav]

Wear one of those see through rain hats lol.

[ttfn]

Are you going to ask them to re-colour and have a hair sett?

Apologies, your soh is contagious ;)

[mccfluff]

sorry nelly but you have made me cry laughing

i once managed to dye a ginger stripe into my hair - no idea how, no matter what i did to it there was always a faint colour difference, given that my hair at that time was waist length, it took a while to grow out.

[nellypope]

It would have been a Merlot moment, but at 9 am in the morning, it's a little too early, even for me ;-) I think they are going to rebleach it 50% highlights and then tone some of the orange out of the rest of it with a taupe sort of colour. mcfluff, did you also create Easyjet orange?

[ttfn]

Of course badger hair makes the finest of shaving brushes.

Bill Badger is a close friend of Rupert Bear.

Badger Ales are brewed in the heart of the Dorset countryside.

Need I go on, nelly? :)

[emmie]

i only did this once, cut some of the tresses, then realised i looked like Johnny Rotten, not a good look at any time.

[nellypope]

I also once cut my own hair, ended up resembling Phil Oakey

[tonyav]

I used to like the Human League, nelly.

[tenrec]

Why do you think the queen has to wear her headscarf?

[nungate]

If it's any consolation Nelly, I turned my grey hair salmon pink when I put a coloured rinse through my hair just to buy some time before I got it done at the hairdresser. The deed was done on a Monday evening and my hairdresser is closed on a Tuesday. I'd to go to a local salon to have it sorted - two attempts to cover it! Cost a fortune too, learned my lesson, I never colour at home now.
