Salon Day

 Since Trish just gave me a wonderful back-deck haircut, Sunday afternoon was time for me to frost her hair.

It was a beautiful, warm, spring, Palm Sunday afternoon, so, we used the screen porch as our salon.

The time-consuming part is hooking the little batches of hair and pulling them through the holes in the plastic bonnet. You need to try to do this carefully and get the amounts that come through the holes to be relatively even in size.

The gloopy part is putting on the bleach mixture.  Though they put a little paddle in the kit for this, I do better by just putting on latex gloves and doing it with my fingers.  That way I can get it to be both more even and more thorough. Once thoroughly infused with the bleach mixture, it is time to cover it all with the plastic covering and wait.

After twenty minutes I thought it was light enough, but Trish thought it should bleach a little more. So, I took off the cover and added more bleach then recovered it fir fifteen more minutes.

This time was enough.  I took off the cover and she headed for the shower.

I must say that the final result was beautiful!  COVID has certainly taught us a lot of new skills!
