vlog: my worst haircut. ever.

as i mentioned yesterday, my mother, cindy, allowed my independence to flourish as i grew up.  this not only turned me into the woman i am today but also allowed for an outpouring of terrible hair decisions and outfit choices as a young girl.

the sad part is, you'd expect that having made terrible choices at seven, and ten, by thirteen, i'd have earned some common hair sense. you already know i didn't, friends.

and so we had the saga of the maroon hair.  wherein, yours truly decided that dark brown hair was mine to be had, not realizing that the box of choice was overloaded with red highlights, which would react oddly with my own natural red undertones thus producing maroon hair.

maroon as kelly kapowski's face during the homecoming episode where she got a zit and used zack's miracle zit cream that actually instead just gave her a huge maroon rash all over her face?

except, instead of getting homecoming queen anyway (like kelly!), i got to freak out and rush to have my hair stripped of all color and then redyed in an attempt to return to the mousey brown i was trying to avoid.  and endure copper colored hair instead.

and thusly, i didn't learn from my seven year old self, who, as you'll see, opted for a bowl cut. for reasons unknown.

world, meet bowlcut kate. bowlcut kate, meet ridicule world.

  1. I wish you had posted a picture of your sweet maroon hair. That would be amazing to see. I was never adventurous with my hair, I once I died it pink for a day, the stuff that washes out, but then I went and played in a fountain, it came out and stained my clothes. woops.

  2. I have a short hairstyle disaster in my past - I went for the Posh Spice short (boyish) hairstyle as a teenager. When it started growing out I got nicknamed Elton John by some boys. Nice (!)
    Would have loved to see the maroon hair.
