So ..
I always have my hair cut and then dye it to a dark blonde colour.
I had my hair cut on Thursday and picked up my usual dye from the supermarket on my way home on Thursday night.
DH was pottering about in the garden yesterday afternoon, so I decided to get on and stick the colour on my hair - which I did.
I know how long I have to leave it on as I always use the same product so I didn't bother checking (not that I would be able to see anyway as I have to take my glasses off and I am blind without them)
After 30 mins I wash it off, towel off and go look in the mirror.
My hair is yellow - not pretty soft yellow but canary on acid yellow !!
Check the box and I have bought colour stripper instead of lightener
Go and call DH and tell him he has to drive to the nearest supermarket (48 mile round trip) to get me a dark blonde kit to tone it down to something doable.
Off he goes and comes back 90 minutes later with a mid brown with red tints kit
He got to the supermarket and realised he had left his glasses behind - so he could not see what was written on the box.
He had also left his mobile behind so he couldn't text me
and - because the cancer treatment involved him having his voice box removed - he can't talk any more, so he couldn't ask anyone.
I was left with the choice of going to the supermarket with my canary hair which was so not happening as it is guaranteed that I would bump into 100's of people I know - or going mid brown with red highlights.
Mid brown won out. I look weird after being blondish for so long but it's better than the canary yellow
That'll teach me to look at the box a bit more carefully
