Color me desperate
Should I or shouldn’t I?
I couldn’t/can’t stand looking at myself in the mirror anymore. My hair needs not just to be cut, but it’s turned all manner of trashy orange shades, as it is wont to do. All I can think of is that photo I saw at Belle’s grooming salon, an image of a mop-like, tawny-furred dog with an orange Donald Trump comb-over.
I cannot live like this.

So today I put on my mask and my gloves. I went to CVS and bought permanent hair coloring. All-over color and highlights in 30 minutes!
Of course I want to look like the babe in the photo on the box.
Of course I know I won’t.
I just don’t want to look like Donald Trump.Or, more nightmarish still, to have all my hair fall out when I towel it dry.
I’ve hidden it from my husband. so don’t tell him. He might yell.
But maybe I do need someone to yell. My tonsorial projects have turned out about the same as my cooking forays (minus the visit from the fire department, that is).
I bet a lot of people right about now — OK, yeah, mostly women — might need to be talked off the ledge as far as hair is concerned.
COVID is not pretty.
Yes, these are tough times. For living. For health.
For personal grooming.
