So, I was scrolling online the other day, right? And I saw these pictures of Megan Thee Stallion with that vibrant blue hair. Gotta say, it looked pretty awesome on her. Really bold, you know?
It got me thinking. Not necessarily about dyeing my own hair blue – I think my days of super wild hair colors are probably behind me. But it did make me remember a few of my own, uh, “experimental” phases back in the day.
That One Time with the “Creative” Hair Choice
I’m not gonna lie, seeing stuff like that sometimes gives me that little nudge. That “what if?” feeling. But then I remember this one specific incident. It wasn’t blue hair, mind you. I think I was aiming for some kind of cool, reddish-purple shade I saw in a magazine. This was way back, before everyone was a YouTube tutorial expert.
So, I went to the drugstore, picked up a box of dye. The instructions seemed simple enough. Mix this, apply that, wait a bit. Easy peasy, right? Wrong. So, so wrong.
What I ended up with was… well, let’s just say it wasn’t what was on the box. It was more of a patchy, uneven mess. Some parts were weirdly orange, others were a muddy brown, and a few strands actually got close to the intended purple, but they just looked sad and lonely.
- My friends tried to be nice about it. “Oh, it’s… unique!”
- My mom just shook her head and sighed. That classic mom sigh.
- I think I wore a hat for a solid week.
Eventually, I had to go to an actual salon and beg them to fix it. Cost me way more than the box dye, that’s for sure. The stylist was very professional but I could see the amusement in her eyes.
Lessons Learned, I Guess
It’s funny how these things stick with you. You see someone like Megan Thee Stallion looking incredible with something like bright blue hair, and it’s easy to forget all the work and professional help that probably goes into it. For us regular folks, attempting that stuff DIY can be a real gamble.
It’s kinda like that time I tried to assemble a flat-pack bookcase that was supposedly “beginner-friendly.” The instructions were just pictures, no words! I spent a whole Saturday wrestling with it. Ended up with a wobbly structure that looked like it was about to give up on life. My cat wouldn’t even go near it.
So yeah, Megan’s blue hair? Super cool. Definitely inspiring. But it also serves as a good reminder for me. Some things are best left to the pros, or at least approached with a lot more caution than my younger self had. Or maybe it’s just about embracing the chaos when things don’t go as planned. Either way, it makes for a good story later, right?
These days, I’m more about admiring those bold looks from a safe distance. And maybe sticking to slightly less ambitious DIY projects. My hair, and my furniture, are probably much happier for it.
