I'm currently growing my hair out and as part of the journey I've taken to dyeing my hair to rid myself of the grey.
There isn't anything wrong with grey but the issue I have is that I'm really grey on the sides but still have a good head of light brown hair on the top. These two colours make it look as though I'm wearing a toupee and so I'd rather just have it one colour all over.
I've experimented with a few different hair dyes in the past to find a shade that's right but usually I've ended up going darker shades.
Yesterday I thought I'd nailed the correct shade as the box indicated a 'light brown' however the results were much darker. As a result the grey has gone but now I'm dark brown all over and it is very noticeable.
I don't mind the colour and my Wife is okay with it but when I go back to work after Xmas people will definitely notice and some will probably comment.
The fact that I'm growing my hair long and I'm dyeing it is a result of my feminine side steering me down that path.
Tomorrow I'm getting my nostril pierced again and I'm going to put in a tiny nose stud which will also be very noticeable but my feminine side is steering me down that path too.
A good few years back I had my ears pierced knowing that it would draw attention to myself but yet I found my feminine side steering me towards getting it done. It resulted in a few comments from fellow workers which was a bit embarrassing but nevertheless my feminine side had caused me to get them done so I could start wearing proper earrrings.
My feminine side continuously steers me towards shaving my body hair and has done so for a long time now.
Hair removal once resulted in a hair removal cream mishap, it's a funny story now when I look back but it certainly wasn't at the time.
I had put hair removal cream on my back and chest before relaxing in the bath and I mistakenly got some cream on the bath. After washing the cream off my back and chest, I lay back in the bath and relaxed for a good thirty minutes after a stressful day at work. During this time the cream that had been left on the bath had found it's way onto the back of my head and it was only when I got out that I realised the full extent of the mishap!
As I began drying my hair with a towel I began to notice hair on it and thats when I realised with horror that the hair removal cream had disolved clumps of my hair! I ended up having to shave the rest of my hair, so not only was I hair free on my chest and back but now I was bald too. As you can imagine that was a talking point at work for a good few months!
My feminine side once steered me towards getting my eyebrows shaped and tinted one lunchtime whilst at work and that ended in disaster. I hadn't told the lady carrying out the procedure that I wanted them shaping in a more feminine way so she only gave them a quick tidy up then proceeded to dye them jet black! I looked in the mirror and my stomach churned, I looked like Groucho Marx and everyone was going to notice this big time!
I ended up calling in sick that afternoon and hurried home to try and rectify things. I ended up cutting my eyebrows short with a pair of scissors so that they weren't that noticeable but people still noticed.
Is it just me or has your Feminine Side steered you towards things you wouldn't ordinarily do as a male?
