No! My Purple Hair Dye Turned Out Pink!

I like pretty much all colors of the rainbow. Though, purple and green are my favorites. Those of you who know me know that I have been dyeing my hair purple for a few years now, give or take. I use the same brand pretty much every time and the results are always exactly as I would like them to be – every time except this time.

Silly me chose to use the more burgundy shade of purple this time to lighten it up just a tad because my purple sections were starting to look almost black or dark brown in some spots. Well, it didn't exactly turn out lighter purple – or even burgundy. It is perhaps a lighter burgundy, but more pinkish.

This is definitely an occasion for the Instant No Button.

Eek! It could have ended up any color but this. Pink is just about my least favorite color. So, of course it had to end up this way. It actually doesn't look that bad, if you like pink – and if I had any pink to wear with it. However, my wardrobe is mostly purple and no trace of pink whatsoever.

I'm just going to leave it this way to give my hair a rest before restoring the purple. But why pink of all colors? Why?

Go ahead and laugh, because I am.
