The failure that was bleaching my hair

Okay so this morning I got the bright idea to put streaks in my hair, because I am so bored with my life. I spent the whole day Youtubing videos on how to bleach and dye hair, respectively. Then for half the day I waited to see if my friend Abby could come over and help, since she's done it before. It turns out she's in trouble with her mom and couldn't make it.

So I went to the beauty supply store on Fordham and took the long, alley-filled, discreet way to avoid seeing anyone who would recognize me and the signs of depression.

The hair aisle was confusing because I hadn't realized how difficult it would be to find the right powder and the right developer. I spent 15 minutes looking stupid with like 5 products in my hand, but after a while I got it right. As I was walking home, I realized I had no dye brush, gloves, and I wasn't sure if I had aluminum foil.

So I got home and I was too nervous to do it alone so I texted and instant messaged anyone I could find who would help me, but apparently the world hates me and everyone was busy. I almost asked Jeff's mom to do it, but thank god I heard that they have no internet or phone, so I didn't. After the 20th person rejected my offer, I got up and angrily decided to do it myself.

I got a plastic bowl and poured the powder and developer into it, then when I realized I had nothing to mix it with, I panicked and grabbed a pen and started mixing. (Yeah, I know.)

Then I realized I had nothing to actually apply the bleach with, so I got a plastic bag and put it over my hand because I somehow thought that it would work as well as a glove. Needless to say, it was a failure. Then I panicked again and grabbed a random makeup brush and started applying the bleach to my hair. (Yeah, I know.)

Then I failed at trying to put aluminum foil on the hair so I gave up, but then 2 minutes later there was bleach dripping all over me and I was freaking out. I grabbed someone's towel and put it around my shoulders and absorbed some of the bleach from the hair so that it wouldn't drip. (...And again.)

So there were ten minutes left before I was supposed to take the bleach out when I realized I was supposed to add heat for 15 minutes. I ran to my room, plugged in the blow dryer, and half-assedly started blow-drying my hair. When I was done there was bleach all over my hands, mirror, hair-blower, and my face.

I got into the shower and washed my hair as usual and when I got out, I could see no significant lightening.

FAILURE.
