She's feeling bluuuu-hoo-hoo, BLUE

Introduction

Ashley has been looking forward to summer.  After all, all her favorite activities take place in the water.  She loves the swim team and discovered water polo last year.  She wants to be a junior lifeguard and swim instructor.  In other words, to her it sometimes feels like life is on hold until its hot outside. 

So, perhaps of extreme boredom, or perhaps of extreme teenage-hood, or even of too much loud music from the ear-buds of her iPod, whatever the cause, about mid-winter she set her mind on having blue hair.  (In case you missed that, I said, "BLUE HAIR!") 

Being the reasonable woman I am, and the confidant mother of five children, my first reaction was, "WHY?  Seriously, why!  You're a pretty girl."

"I like blue."

"That much?"

"Yup."

"But blue is such a non-hair color.  You don't even like Jap-anime.  Why would you wanna look like some little pikachoo [sic]?"

"I like blue.  You always said I could do whatever I wanted with my hair."

"That was before you wanted to have blue hair.  It's not even a color hair comes in."

"We put purple streaks in my hair last year--and that was YOUR idea."

"It was my idea to do streaks; you were the one who picked the color."

"I want to dye my hair blue mom."

"Why don't you think about it for a while--pray about it?  OK?"

"OK.  But I'll still want blue hair."

*****************************************

Well, it's been about three months and guess what?  Bet you'll never guess...

We went to a beauty supply store and I made her pay for it all.  Why should I pay for her hair to look un-natural?  BLUE?  We had to bleach it first.  I did the bleaching.  I did a good job if I do say so myself.  Her hair looked so nice after we bleached it, almost auburn, that I tried to talk her into leaving it that way for a while.  Like, forever--or until it grew out. 

Less than forty-eight hours later, my old nanny and one of her friend (whose hair was three or four different colors--on purpose!) came over and dyed it blue.  I was too nervous to do it myself.  It is a dark blue, almost midnight, only it is a semi-permanent dye so that each time she washes her hair, it lightens.  Soon, it will be sky-blue.  Then, she plans to dye it a permanent blue-black.  She's already bought the dyes. 

The best part is, her hair takes forever to grow so she'll be eighteen and it'll have just grown down past her ears.  I hope she really, really, really likes blue!
