Chase Goes Blonde

BEFORE

All in the name of Halloween, we have colored Chases hair. A few weeks ago he asked me if he could have blond hair to become an even more authentic Link. He was thinking something along the lines of what we normally do...colored gels, spray color etc... But you can't really get a "blond" look that way. So I bought a dye kit at the supermarket and we colored his hair. I didn't get a picture of the first round color, but we ended up dying it again to help his hair go even blonder.
DURING
It made me laugh after the first try. His hair was very bronzy. It totally looked like my hair every time I tried to go lighter in high school. Last night we tried round two. It lightened it up a lot more and took out some of the strawberry. He will be a very convincing Link now. I was telling him last night that I had no idea what would happen trying to dye his hair a second time. I even told him it might all fall out for all I knew. Can you imagine? It must be nice to be a boy and get to try new things with your hair without that constant fear of year worth of growing it out all being destroyed. Hopefully Chase's locks will be back to their old self by Christmas. I wasn't really thinking that far in advance and I definitely don't want "Link" posing in our family pictures!

I thought he looked different at church. You really are a great fun mom. Thanks, for the offer of dinner for my family. It has been a little crazy here the past few days and we are slowly finding some sort of rhythm with the PT and getting kids to and from. We are excited to see everyone dressed up on Friday night.

You guys crack me up! I can't wait to see photos from Halloween. If you don't want "link" photos for Christmas you can aleays dye it brown again, I love the ability to change hair & know it will always grow back!
