Floridian, what is your name? Some people call you Celia, and others Cecile, and I'm confused and don't know what to call you!

Her name is Cecile but since most people don't know how to pronounce it (I had to ask), she goes by Celia. She answers to both and I call her both. :P

Ah, I see, it's a matter of, "I don't care what you call me, as long as you call me!". Thanks for clearing this up for me, though. I like the name Cecile (and yes, I certainly know how to pronounce it ;)).

DISASTER

OMG - - first I lifted all the color (dang, hard to do this and not get it all over your head), and it was bright golden whitish/orange....and then....put on medium brown with dark ash blonde....OMG - - now it is

GREEN

:ph34r::o:ph34r::o:ph34r::o

:lol::lol: (I shouldn't laugh :unsure: )

SUSAN!!! NEVER put brown on bleached hair!-As you found out it will go GREEN

(you were supposed to just put Ash Blonde on top of the bleach)

Damn-this cyber hairdressing definitely ain't working out :rolleyes:

....so..what kind of hat are you wearing??!! :lol:

the only thing I've heard about hair color is that the blacks and browns cause bladder cancer...heard this from my friend's mom, a breast cancer survivor...dont' know if this is true or not.

I'll find out for you, lol...been dying my dark brown for years now...

And, re the rashes and whatnot...my hairdresser DOES have some clients who are allergic to the dyes, so she has to kind of rotate them (the dyes, not the clients, lol). I've heard that before from friends too. I don't know if I am or not (so hard to tell), but I can't give up my dye...no no no! No gray for me! :lol:

Ursula....I am SO glad that at least my hair debacle was able to give you a good laugh.... :lol: it is pretty funny....and pretty stupid of me.... :huh:

Nikki - - oh dear - - I didn't know about the brown turning the hair green... :o:ph34r::lol: don't try this at home, folks....

I think I"ll wear a visor today until my appt. The "highlights" are in front mainly, so this should suffice...

I got nothin' else....trying to make jewelry and finding it difficult. Donna - - wish we could have a jewelry-making party together!

Patti - - your Allo cat is SO CUTE!!! :)

Does anybody know what chemicals are in hair dye? (I don't :unsure: ) That green makes me wonder if there's some kind of heavy metal action going on (no, I don't mean the music)? I remember reading a long time ago that beauticians have a very high miscarriage rate, but that was before the days before everybody wore latex gloves for everything. Hmmm...I just can't help wondering about all these chemicals we women are expected to ingest through our skins--hair dye, makeup, hormones, etc.

Like panty hose and high heels (which I am far too clumsy to wear), I bet they were all invented by MEN . :ph34r:

It was an honest mistake, er I saw the thread title and I thought it was like um, er I thought it was like a room with like "Forty-something" women in it (How many, well they're not quite sure, looks like forty-something). I thought to myself, sounds like a good place to be? :huh:

I was going to dispense advice on hair, but I know you're not a fan of the comb-over or mullets, so my bag is empty :(

bead store....come on girls, have I taught you nothign?? those are for EMERGENCIES only...they have a four- to eight-time markup....you can get MOUNTAINS of pearl strands for as little as $3 or even $! (really crappy ones) at gem and bead shows...and they sell them for $15 or $20 at the bead stores - - talk about HERESY!!! And there are a couple of great catalogs that are almost wholesale, also ebay is wonderful for gemstones and findings (clasps, etc)....you must NEVER shop at a bead store! :o I also have lots of great websites if anyone (Donna?) needs materials...some great ebay sellers...and get this - was watching an item on ebay, some onyx nuggets, they sold for $32. What people don't know is that in that same seller's REGULAR store, those same nuggets are selling for $16 a strand, so I got two for the price of one - but bidders don't know that they have a store! crazy.....

one more hour until my hair is fixed!

You're all full of talk aren't you? .... and how many nuggets are left????? B) I live downtown in this small town (same block as the bakery LOL, and walking distance from Dominos) ... the bead store is two minutes away, walking .... you would definately commit heresy! :lol: Plus, I've never been in there ....

Good luck at the salon, Susan!

Yes, that would be fine :lol::lol: ... I'd stay away from bleach though ... very hard to grow out while you're bleaching, trust me! From what my stylist tells me, color won't lift color, but color will lift natural color (if I understand correctly). I feel like it's been FOREVER to grow mine out. It seems stuck at this length.

      @catnapt, I'm sorry you're having such a rough time. How much wheat germ and how much gluten were you eating? Lectins in beans can be broken down by pressure cooking them. Do you pressure cook your beans? Were you pressure cooking your wheat germ? What drugs are you taking? Some immunosuppressive drugs affect IgA production. Do...

      oops my gluten challenge was only 12 days It started Jan 21s and ended Feb 1st worst 12 days of my life Does not help that I also started on a thiazide-like drug for rule in/out renal calcium leak at the exact same time No clue if that could have been symptoms worse 🤔

      so do you have celiac or not? 🤔 why are your vision issues undiagnosed? 😢 what does your ophthalmologist say?  do you have a serious vit A deficiency? what do you take for it? how long have you had celiac disease and how long did  it take to get a diagnosis?   if you are legally blind there are adaptive devices that will help you. I have vision difficulties as well but did not qualify (at least not yet)   do you have a vit A deficiency? why are you undiagnosed? what does your ophthalmologist say? I have a retinal specialist and he tells me my eye condition can not be fixed- until/unless it gets to the point of where surgery is safer since the surgery can leave me actually blind... so you want to wait til it gets really bad 🤪     I hope you find what works for you.    PS   the medication I started at the same time as the gluten challenge is obvious from the condition it's trying to treat. you can google it 😉 it is not an for any auto immune condition.

      during the gluten challenge I did not consume any wheat germ   the wheat germ is TOASTED - it's the only way it is sold now afiak doesn't matter I consume vast amounts of lectin containing foods PROPERLY prepared and have for well over a decade. They do not bother me in the least.    no anemia however the endo who ordered the celiac panel is the one who suggested the 2 week gluten challenge of eating at least 2 slices of bread per day or a serving of pasta- ALSO put me on a new drug at the same time (not a good idea)  I ate 4 slices because they were thin, or 2 English muffins, and just once some lasagna that someone else made since I stopped eating wheat pasta years ago. The English muffins caused some of the worst symptoms but that pc of lasagna almost killed me ( not literally but the pain was extreme) during those 12 days there were at least 3 times I considered going to Urgent Care.   This entire process was a waste of time TBH due to being on that new drug at the exact same time. it is impossible to tell if the drug I am taking for the possible renal calcium leak is working or not- given the dramatic response to the gluten challenge and resulting nausea (no vomiting) and eventually a loss of appetite and lower intake of foods so now I have a dangerously low potassium level   I don't have a simple case of celiac or no- I have an extremely complicated case with multiple variables I am seeing an endocrinologist for a problem with the calcium sensing glands - that system is very complicated and she has been unable to give me a firm diagnosis after many tests with confusing and often alarming results. She also appears to be inexperienced and unsure of herself. but I don't have the luxury of finding a new endo due to multiple issues of insurance, lack of drs in my area, money and transportation. so I'm stuck with her At least she hasn't given up    in any case I can assure you that lectins are not and never were the problem. I know they are a favorite villain in some circles to point to, but I have ZERO symptoms from my NORMAL diet which DOES NOT contain gluten. The longer I went without bread or foods with wheat like raisin bran cereal, the better I have felt. my body had been telling me for several years that wheat was the problem- or maybe specifically gluten, that remains to be seen- and stopping eating it was the best thing I could have done   I almost had unnecessary MAJOR SURGERY due to joint pain that I ONLY have if I am eating bread or related products I assumed it was the refined grains - never really suspected gluten but it does not matter I won't put that poison in my body ever again not that it is literally poison but it is def toxic to me
