Well, I got the courage up to go to the hair salon and let them feel my scaby scalp. Actually, they only peered down at my part and acknowledged that yes, there were scabs there, and yes, that I apparently got a chemical burn from the hair dye.
Validation. What a relief.
They also asked what I wanted. What do I want? I want a scab-free scalp, that's what! But alas, not to be had. I could have asked for a discount off the coloring or off the next one, but just call me chicken.
Today, my scalp is peeling. Large flakes of skin just peeling off. This has happened before so I'm not alarmed as much as annoyed.
But on the brighter side of life, the photo shoot that was the catalyst for my Hair Dye Horror turned out so well and the photographer - Clark James Mishler - sent me a shot that I could use on my blog. See it Upper Left Corner of this blog.
I think the pain of a chemical burn and the irritation of a peeling scalp is actually worth it, don't you?
In all seriousness, it is one of the best photos ever taken of me. I'm thrilled!
You are a truly an amazing person..of all the pictures through the years, none have ever displayed such a true confidance, beauty, peace. With all that you have been through some how you look more settled, more happy...more ready. Your pictures are beautiful!

Yeah, I'm sure the pain of a chemical burn and the irritation of a peeling scalp is worth it!
