This week on
The Gallery the theme is hair..cue many horrendous mistakes and major blushing. Now it's not that I am ducking out of the mass humiliation exercise but I simply don't have the photos with me to share with you! I know you don't believe me but hey ho..moving to Bangkok has some advantages! What I can share however is my adventures with the bleach bottle.

My love affair with blond began early, I was a blond kid and I loved my shiny golden locks. Sadly by the age of about 8 years old they had turned a boring (in my mind) shade of mouse. So by the time I started secondary school I was determined that this rodent like hue was cramping my style and it had to go. Mum of course said no way to my idea of bleaching it at the salon. So I being the pain in the bum that I was promptly went to Boots and bought my first home dye kit..the results were frankly diabolical! Not the white blond of my dreams more the dodgy canary of nightmares. Yes Mum went nuts..I was frog marched to school the next day despite my wailing protests. Compromise was found when I was allowed to wear a bandana..causing one teacher to think I was having chemo! I hadn't the heart or the balls to disabuse her of this mistake.

Since then I have stuck to the professionals like glue and
my team are amazing! The fantastic talent of my lovely mate Stan (aka Dan..he has a "hairdresser name") who I let do what ever the heck he likes with my barnet. He cuts like a dream and frankly it is hard for me to even contemplate having another touch my hair! Steph is the lady who tries her very best to make my stubborn hair the shade I always dream of..snowy white..a perfectionist and I thank her for that.
I have been every shade you can imagine and always come back to the bleach. I love it! I feel like me with it which I know is daft as it's blatantly not. Right now I am having the best of both worlds with a two tone moment. I am really enjoying this hair..
