I want to be the Cool Mom. Don’t We All?
But…Ah…the Big But.
Hair Color. Guess it’s No Big Deal. But…Yes…the Big But.
Her Beautiful. Perfect. Long Straight Black Hair. Untouched. Perfect.
Did I say Perfect? Yes. Perfect.
But Finally I Agree to Some Color.
Really Mom??? I Can Get Color???
At a Salon. With an Expert. Yes.
First Pull All the Color Out. With Bleach. Master Mixing.
Thin Streaks Tucked Under the Top Layers of Hair. With Foils.
Painting on the Bleach.
Packaging Up the Foils.
Yikes….Blonde!
Very, Very Blonde. No Turning Back Now.
Rinsing out the Bleach.
Red. Vegetable Based Color. Paul Mitchell Color.
Applying the Red.
The Look is Fun. Red. Pretty. Kicky. A Flash of Color.
Can You See the Red?
No?
Just Knowing It’s There is the Magic.
Thank You Mom. Thank You Mom.

You are a brave mom! But I love it on her!!!
Thank you Kailani. I’m trying! Every day(!)
Jeanne, I agree with your earlier reader who labeled you as brave. I agree, it looks really cute on your daughter. Young kids can wear this so well. It’s very fun with just the right amount of edgy. She’s adorable.
Good luck with the rest of back to school prep.
Lisa – Thanks for your encouraging words. Parenting Teens is a whole new ballgame…:) Good Luck with your new school year too!
