I dyed and survived!

[KeeKee]

As a few of you may know I have had a fear of dying my hair for 6 months now. I finally did it 2 day's ago and again today (ginger roots darn it! - I bleach my hair, am naturally Blonde but it ALWAYS goes a little ginger). Anyway I survived and feel much better for it, even though I have missed bits out ;-)

So pleased for you KeeKee. Perhaps the secret is to keep dyeing in now so as not to let the anxiety set in again. I am preparing to try this week as well. xxx

Thank you,

I agree. The longer you leave it the worse it will be.
My next 'mini-goal' is to eat a bag of peanuts as I am scared of eating them at the moment too.
Good luck with dyeing your hair. I did an allergy test and convinced myself that even if I was mildly allergic my skin would have become at least a bit itchy, which it never. You will feel so much better once you've done it.

Get you KeeKee!!! Well done. Isn't it amazing how, after we do these things, our fears turn out to be unfounded? Is it worth writing a note to yourself now, about how positive the experience was for you? I suggest this because when you come to dye your hair next time, if you feel at all apprehensive, you can re-read your note and realise that you'll be ok....

Yay!! Great job! I'm terrified of coloring my hair too. Well I did it a few hours ago!! Usually I would use permanent color, however I used semi perm this time. Well as soon as I put it on my scalp was burning, and panic set in. I was messaging my friend, and he helped me through it. In the mean time I thought my lips were tingling, and my mouth started to itch. As soon as I washed it out I was fine! So I think it was in my head!? The power of the mind is incredible. Yet when I have to do it again, it will be the same, me spazzing out lol. Excellent job!!!

I mean the odds of having a severe or deadly reaction are pretty slim right? Yet I say that and it never helps!
