33 Thoughts You Have While Doing Someone Else's Hair

I don't know why you trust me to do this.

33 Thoughts You Have While Doing Someone Else's Hair

Recently, I had a friend entrust me with the task of touching up and transforming her faded, bleached green ombre hair into a lush waterfall of cobalt blue and violet locks. Why did she trust me to do this? I have no idea. I mean, I have done my own hair and a few friends' hair in the past, but when it really comes down to it, I have no idea what I'm doing. Let me walk through my thought process during this time.

1. Okay this should be simple.

2. Wait, just kidding. Where do I start?

3. Oh thank goodness there are instructions.

4. Shoot why are the instructions in SPANISH?

5. Okay calm down the English is on the back side.

6. So I just pour this into that...no problemo.

7. Crap, I spilled some.

8. OK, here we go!

9. Is this mixture supposed to smell like death?

10. YOLO!

11.Well, uh, the instructions say to leave it on for about 30 minutes...40 it is!

12. The way I wrapped her hair makes it look like she has a tail.

13. TIME IS UP!

14. Wow, not as bad as I expected!

15. Now, I'm just going to help her rinse all the bleach out.

16. OMG I'M SO SORRY I THINK I JUST SPRAYED YOUR FACE!

17. OK, now we're all rinsed, dried and brushed through. On to the color!

18. What a gross, gloopy consistency this blue dye is.

19. This is so art. I'm an artist now.

20. Can I put this on my resume?

21. I'm so hungry.

22. Oh no, oh no, oh no, I got it on the toilet.

23. Please don't fail me, soap and sponge!

24. Finished with the dye!

25. I have battle scars of blue and purple streaks on my arms now.

26. Please work, please work, please work...

27. SUCCESS!

28. YOU REALLY LIKE IT? DON'T LIE TO ME!

29. Wow, maybe I should just drop out of school and pursue hair coloring.

30. OK, wait never mind.

31. Come back! I forgot to do a section!

32. NOW we're finished.

33. My work here is done.

In all seriousness, even though there were a few mini heart attacks along the way, it was an absolute pleasure and a lot of fun doing my friend's hair! The results were not absolutely flawless, but it was a great experience. Hit me up if you want your hair done :)


After I finished the bleach!

The final results!

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
