What’s It Like to Have Green Hair?

Let me apologize!

I forgot to take a picture of this client’s EMERALD GREEN hair. So imagine that you are in the land of Oz. Yep, that’s how green! She didn’t even know about the unwanted “green” in her hair until her daughter said, “Mom, do your know your ends of your hair are green in the back of your head?” Her long hair framing her face was not green just the top long layers of highlighted long hair was green. Let’s call her Genny. Genny called the salon in a panic, feeling humiliated for walking around for an entire week with green hair ends.

Please don't roll in the grass!

How did she happen to acquire “green” hair?

Blonds always have to safeguard their hair against absorbing chemicals into their hair from a swimming pool or jacuzzi. The chlorine from the pool and the heat from the sun react together to change bleached hair green. Bleached hair from the sun or from highlighting have only a pale yellow color (hopefully) left in the hair structure. this pale yellow to white is a great canvas for the chemical reaction of “green”. But, Genny hadn’t been in a pool or jacuzzi.

So how did she acquire this “green” hair? Genny was in Tahoe for the weekend and decided it was too beautiful not to get some outdoor exercise. So being tired from biking and finishing her heavy ride by a golf course, Genny decided it was too beautiful of a day not to enjoy the bright sun, blue sky and puffy clouds roll by. She opted to enjoy looking up via the support of the golf course grass. Yep, that’s right, now we know what it means to be grass green. Can you believe that, the land of clear skies, great mountain air and crystal blue water, golf courses in Tahoe spray their grass to be greener.

What’s Genny to do?

Great color for grass!

That’s right call me, her hair color mixologist. What will I do for her without harming her hair further? By this appointment her hair has faded somewhat, which means her hair will not hold onto the green chemicals for very much longer. All I have to do is hasten their exit with a shampoo, bleach and peroxide combo to the areas of the hair that were severely attacked. the after shampooing the hair with a clarifying shampoo, I highlighted, low-lighted and toned her hair. The toner was an additional color green neutralizer, because it was was a light beige blond toner with a low volume peroxide. The toner had a hint of red in it to counteract the hint of “green” remaining. then to preserve the integrity of her hair and replace moisture, Genny was given a conditioning treatment.

Voila!

Genny left feeling relieved, happy and feeling good about herself!

(I knew that you can get grass stains from sliding on the grass but, I never in a thousand years, realized that golf course grass could turn your hair green. Let’s add that to list list of “Don’ts for Blondes”.)

What is Faith?

Faith is very friendly and sweet, and draws huge crowds everywhere he goes. There was a huge crowd following him as he walked to the waiting area for the plane we were going to board, it got my attention because flashes were going off, I thought it must be a celebrity
This is ‘Faith’

This dog was born on Christmas Eve in the year 2002. He was born with 3 legs – 2 healthy hind legs and 1 abnormal front leg which need to be amputated. He of course could not walk when he was born. Even his mother did not want him

His first owner also did not think that he can survive. Therefore, he was thinking of ‘putting him to sleep’.

By this time, his present owner, Jude Stringfellow, met him and wanted to take care of him.
She is determined to teach and train this dog to walk by himself. Therefore she named him ‘Faith’

In the beginning, she put Faith on a surfing board to let him feel the movements. Later she used peanut butter on a spoon as a lure and reward for him to stand up and jump around. Even the other dog at home also helped to encourage him to walk. Amazingly, only after 6 months, like a miracle, Faith learned to balance on his 2 hind legs and jumped to move forward. After further training in the snow, he now can walk like a human being.

Faith loves to walk around now. No matter where he goes, he just attracts all the people around him.
He is now becoming famous on the international scene. He has appeared on various newspapers and TV shows.
There is even one book entitled ‘With a little faith’ being published about him. He was even considered to appear in one of Harry Potter movies.

His present owner Jude Stringfellew has given up her teaching post and plans to take him around the world to preach that even without a perfect body, one can have a perfect soul’.

In life there are always undesirable things. Perhaps one will feel better if one changes the point of view from another direction. I hope this message will bring fresh new ways of thinking to everyone and that everyone can appreciate and be thankful for each beautiful day that follows. Faith is the continual demonstration of the Strength of Life
A small request: All you are asked to do is keep this circulating.

When faced with a defining moment, you can either define the moment or the moment defines you!

Have a great day!!
