First Entry should be a funny right?

So I've finally given in to writing a blog. I'll be honest, I don't know if I'll be keeping up with it as much as I hope but we'll take it one day at a time. I never know what to write, I think that's why for so long I didn't have one. What do people actually care to know about my everyday life in Sweden anyway? And then today something funny and possibly blog-worthy happened. So here it is.... the first entry :)


Today my new favorite friend, Jessie came over for a little visit. She asked me, Stylist to the Stars, to dye her hair dark from the lovely blond it was. (This girl is beautiful and can pull off
any color by the way). I decided I'd go ahead and join her and dye my hair as well. She
was up first and it came out amazing if I do say so myself. As she began drying her hair,
I went ahead and put the dye in my hair. Fast forward 30 minutes. Hair is ready to be
washed out. For those of you not accustomed to hair dying procedure after dying you must
first rinse the dye out and then put in the conditioner they provide for you. So I rinse the
dye no problem.

Now 2 things you need to know before the story continues:
1. The hair dye I was using was a 2 part dye kit. First a dye for the whole head, and then a highlighting kit that's seperate.
2. All the instructions/labels are in Swedish.

OK so now we go on to putting the conditioner in. At this point there are 2 bottles and a package of powder left. One bottle is conditioner, the other mixes with the powder to make the highlighting dye. So I reach and grab the bottle that looks like the conditioner and put it all in my hair. I remember thinking it looked a little running, but it was still white and pretty thick so it had to be the conditioner. About that time my friend, Lael, who speaks Swedish came to check on the hair process. Something inside me pushed me to ask Lael what the bottle said, just to make sure it was conditioner. She reads and proceeds to tell me it is in fact the chemical bottle that goes with the highlighting powder! I immediately beginning trying to shampoo it out. She goes on to read the back which says the first ingredient is none other than, hydrogene peroxide!
Again for those who don't know, it's basically straight BLEACH! At this point I'm freaking out, imagining I'm going to have some crazy cheetah print hair color. All my roommates, plus Jess and Lael are watching the events unfold (this means 5 of us are squeezed into the bathroom). After several minutes of rinsing, washing, correctly conditioning the hair, we waited and watched, praying my hair would remain dark and splotches of blond wouldn't show through.

Praise the Lord it didn't. But wow what a crazy few minutes. Just another memory from living in Sweden....
