Not Going With The Flow

Just a quick bit of fun with the I P.

 

 

To have a change they say

can feel as good as a rest,

so an idea came to me

I'd put it to the test,

 

this task I've got in hand

so without further ado,

I'm going to dye these old

gray locks a lighter shade of blue,

 

It'll take quite some doing

cause this hair is very long,

gray don't take so easily –

but living dangerously isn't wrong.

 

If it don't suit me, well that's okay

too – but at least I'll have had a go,

it's nice to be different sometimes,

instead of going with the flow.

Sounds like a bit of fun, and an interesting experiment! Let us know how the experiment works (unless it's fictional). I had a vision of Anne of Green Gables' story of her buying something (from a gipsy I think) to try to change her red her, and it ending up green! But I'm sure these dyes are reliable nowadays, and blue rinse on grey should be easier than trying to disguise red hair. Rhiannon

brilliant use of the IP jenny and I really hope this is non-fiction, in which case you MUST put a photo of the result on the site!

Haha!  I have long greyish hair too - if you do yours I'll do mine. laugh

A brilliant use of the IP Jenny.

Hi there Rhiannon,

I'm glad you liked this bit of fun. It was just a poem though.

I really enjoyed hearing your thoughts about Anne of Green Gables, I've never read that story before, sounds interesting.

Appreciate you stopping by and many thanks for sharing your thoughts.

Hi Helen,

now there's a challenge,wink though I don't think I'd walk outside the front door if I did dye my hair blue. smiley 

It's nice to know there's more of us out there with gray locks. Many thanks for putting a smile on my face.

Good afternoon to you Rosa,

It was just a bit of fun with the I P. I definitely wouldn't have the courage to really go ahead and dye my hair blue.

Many thanks for stopping by to read and for sharing your thoughts, much appreciated.

Hi Jenny

I enjoyed reading this - great fun. I only dyed my hair once, and it was a disaster, so am content with the natural look.

Hi Jean,

I used to dye my hair every week when I was young, a mahogany colour, it looked really cool, but it was only from one of those toners sachets. I wouldn't go touching my hair with dye now...too much gray.

Thank you for reading and sharing your thoughts.

Jenny.
