I have an intention to do one new thing every day. Today, it was highlighting my hair at home.

Why did no one tell me this was impossible? We have some female readers, no? Maybe even some military men have forayed into this arena. A male friend who had blonde hair when younger (now the inevitable dishwater color that everyone mistakes for "greasy") highlights as women do to keep it looking bright, though he'd be loathe for this to be common knowledge.

Forget the Frenchified names like, "salon colour verite," or having the box instructions in French. It is not so exotic as it seems. It is not a salon experience.

My hair is brown, but I thought it'd be spunkier with sun-dappled highlights, forgetting the total unnaturalness of getting them in the winter. Anyway, the result is orange-ish streaks, or "marmalade", as Winston Churchill might have said. As the highlighting solution is a bleach, I should have known better-- what else?

If I were creating a highlighting product, I'd make it ashier in tone, but with a temporary radioactive orange tag so that the user could see where she is placing her highlights. Obviously, men design these products, or it is a cabal to keep the hairdresser industry afloat. Anyway, as I resemble a tabby at the moment, you may call me "Morris," for today.
