:frowGood morning all.
@apryl29 , I wear my hair short so it wouldn’t be worth it to go to a Salon for hair color.

I asked my stylist though about my hair dye turning orange, and she said it’s a body chemistry thing, and to pick colors that say “neutral” “cool” or “ash” in the name, and to avoid the ones that have “warm”.
And since my hair is fine in texture to knock off several minutes from the developing stage to avoid my hair “grabbing” too much of the dark tones. (The ones that make you look like an Elvis impersonator.) so now instead of 25 minutes, I only leave it on for 19 and I actually use a timer.

That did the trick!
Good to know. Oddly, that makes sense. I'm one of those weird people who can't wear perfume b/c it all ends up smelling like bug spray. I have a few body sprays that I like & can use, but 'real' perfume just smells gross on me.

Also weird one...
My daughter has long hair and gets this whole process done with lots of tones.
One time it looked great when she left the salon but two days later it was as if it just evaporated.

She was hysterical.
We made her an appointment for “color correction”.

While her stylist (same one she always goes to) was looking at it and trying to decide what to do about it, the owner of the salon pulled me discretely aside.
He was a man.

He asked me if by any chance she was having her period.

Well actually she was!

He said NEVER get your hair colored at that time.
Messes with “the chemistry”.

So they told her to wear a messy bun for a few days and come back -“after”.

That took care of it.
I didn't know about that either. I'll keep it in mind for the future. My brother's family was visiting a few years ago and his wife went and got highlights done at a salon in town and the next day they were gone.. she went back and they fixed it. I wonder if that was the problem... She has ethnic hair so I also wonder if the person who did it didn't know what she was doing, though they should teach that in beauty school.
 
Good morning! @apryl29, Love that your kid saves woolyworms! That made me smile. The hair is chilling out and looking more normal. I did have like a jessica rabbitt deal going. I'm just glad it does calm down. @pitbullmomma, Let your chicken hatch her woolyworm babies, she'll eat them eventually or you'll have some funky chickens.:lau
@staceyj, Jeeze I know, dark just happens now! I'm going to have to start rounding up derps at 6:15 it looks like 6:30 is cutting it close!
 
Awww so cute. She wants a fuzzy baby!

The hand is getting better every day...thanks so much for asking.

I was wondering how your Seramas are doing in the cold. So far I haven't added any heat. Momma and babies (babies are now 8 weeks) are in one small coop and my other Serama hen and rooster are in another small coop along with a Bantam Wyandotte. So far they seem perfectly fine. I was reading about someone up in th UP of Michigan that has Seramas and they do just fine. He just makes sure there are no drafts and tarps to keep the coop and run dry. Truthfully my Seramas aren't much smaller than my D'ucclle and she did fine last winter.
I sure hope you are using talk-to-text for these posts!
Don’t want you to be telling people later the reason you didn’t heal was because of “your chicken friends” :gig
They’ll think there’s a lot more going on than just your hand....:lau
 
We could do a chain delivery! People do it w/ dogs all the time. The lady I got my lavenders from also breeds AC's... that's how I ended up w my mixed AC/lav pullet.
Man! That would be fun wouldn’t it?!?
“The squatch watchers great cross country rooster relay!”

Betcha we’d make the news!
