Now With Bleach!

On a total whim, I decided to pick up a bleach kit from my local CVS the other day. I wasn't really sure if I'd use it or not, but I figured it would be there "just in case." This afternoon I get a call from Paul, who says to me, "You going to bleach your hair today?" Sure, what the heck.

Anyone who is familiar with my past, knows that about my adventures with bleach back in late-2001. I had longer hair at the time and left the bleach in my hair for much longer than I should have. The result was a yellowish color. My hair had also turned into straw. This time, I vowed to do a better job. I applied the bleach in lesser quantities and left it in for about half the time. Thankfully, my shorter hairstyle does a better job of sporting the bleached look, which is more of an orangy-yellow this time around. The darker spot on the side of my head in the photo is just from the lighting.

The whole deal took almost two hours and a few touch-ups. But, in the end it was a success. Thanks to Paul for making sure the back of my head was the same color as the front of my head. Without his assistance, I'd probably look like a skunk.

I don't know why, but I suddenly feel the need to go to a hardcore techno danceclub and wave around glowsticks. Hmm...
