Rituals

[burntcopper]

Sitting here with a load of toxic stuff on my head all wrapped up in cling film to make sure it doesn't drip onto my clothes or accidentally brush against something. Traditional rituals of those who regularly dye their hair - not the ones who dye it strange and fantastic hair colours, just the rituals of those who decided a while ago that they'd prefer their hair to be a different colour, picked that colour and every 6-8 weeks, or when the roots get too bad, that it's time to go to the chemist, grab that packet of hair colourant (L'Oreal Feria Copper Shimmer in my case) and apply. I've been this colour for over four years now, started dyeing it when I went to Chelsea and kept on doing so. No-one really remembers me blonde anymore. So, sitting here feeling the slight tingle of the ammonium hydroxide and smelling the unbelievably chemical scent of it. I'll be neon carrot for a couple of days until it washes out slightly.
