Hi girls,
Last month (http://www.crossdressers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=119449) you may remember that I was pondering whether to get highlights. I went for it, but sensing that I was slightly nervous about it, the hairdresser did a very subtle job, and while my hair was certainly a bit lighter, still looked pretty brown to me.
However, sticking to my original goal, I decided to book a follow up appointment today. Typically people only return after 2-3 months, so my hairdresser asked why I'd come back so soon. I explained that I was feeling braver and wanted to get proper blonde highlights in my hair. She said that if she used peroxide it would be a lot more noticable than last time, and would definitely look much blonder. I said that sounded good to me! I went for a whole head of coverage, meaning that I'd be able to wear my hair up.
For the next two hours I sat there while she painted the colour on my hair and wraps it in tin foil. An elderly lady kept taking glances of me in my mirrors reflection, and seemed somewhat confused about the whole thing. I simply smiled at her.
The hairdressers I go to have a loyalty scheme and as I'd been there 6 times, had earned a free deep conditioning treatment. So after removing the foils and washing my hair, they put the conditioning treatment on it. Then, as if I didn't look funny enough before, they wrapped my head in a plastic cap and put me under a heater for 15 minutes. I'd lost any sense of embaressment at this point in the crowded salon, so just enjoyed the experience. At this point I still hadn't seen what my hair looked like as it'd been covered in one thing or the other.
After the hairdresser washed the conditioning treatment out of my hair and gave it a rub with the towel, she asked me to go back over to the seat. As she started to dry my hair with the hairdryer, I could see my hair change colour and go blonde! I'd done it! The manager came over and said "wow, that looks really good!" and another hairdresser also complimented it. My hairdresser then said "don't you dare come in next week and say you want me to shave it all off, cos I will refuse!". I laughed and said that I loved my hair so would never do that and thanked her for the fantastic job she'd done.
So that's it, I've taken the plunge and got permenent blonde hair! In fact, I discovered when I got home that the underneath looks even blonder still when up in a ponytail because the peroxide was put on that first, so stayed on slightly longer. My wife was quite surprised at how blonde it had gone, after it not looking much different before. I'm not sure if she really liked it or not but she said they had done a good job and was glad it made me happy. Bless her. :hugs:
Thanks for reading my little story!
