I’m taking a SCUBA class next semester in college. It qualifies for my PE credit. I lost partial hearing as a result of an accident during a “discover SCUBA” program in Bermuda, so I should be afraid of this…and yet I want to conquer it.

"Waste of time"

How I did it: Thank goodness I went on their "pay what you can" day because this was a complete waste of time.  The guy didn't tell me anything I didn't already know, and although he had some innovative ways of cracking my back, it wasn't anything I couldn't have done at home with a friend's help.

It took me 1 day.

It made me

Meredith wrote about How to dye my hair bright red:

"You MUST use the right dye."

How I did it: I bought a package of "Splat" hair dye in their raspberry color.  I wasn't going to bleach my hair, so I knew it wouldn't be quite the same as on the package.  It's a home kit, just like any other, except with lots more staining!  Of skin, of clothes, of floors, of grout, of shower curtains...need I go on?

Lessons & tips: Use a REAL bright dye like Manic Panic.  Don't waste time with drugstore home kits that are sold alongside "regular" haircolor.  No matter what you use, BE NAKED and drape EVERYTHING in range with newspaper.  Expect your shower to be utterly bright red and expect to spend a LOT of time rinsing your hair over the next few weeks.

It made me shocked

Right now I’m sitting with a white towel over my red hair. It’s going to be a pink towel from now on, I guess! We’ll see how it comes out.

That’s exactly what my bathroom looked like 30 minutes ago! It took FOREVER to wash out, at least 30-45 minutes. Regular hair dye never takes that long but it just kept coming and coming. I didn’t bleach mine either, so I hope it comes out okay. I have dye all over my back because I have really long hair, and all over my ears, and a little on my face. And of course my scalp! I used the exact same Luscious Raspberries you did, by Splat. I’ll have to post my own pictures here too!
