MY HAIR DYE INSTRUCTIONS
MY LUXURIOUS BLACK HAIR DYING RITUAL - REAVIS H. EITEL
For starters, THE color for me is made by brand “Clairol Professional” item name: “Complements” Permanent Color Cream: COLOR: 1A (black) #320120
WASH your hair dont condition. When drying comb it straight back revealing you forehead and temples.
Get good eyebrow tweezers mini mirror and little scissors. I buy this color tube stated above, 20 developer, pkg of disposable mascara wands, a 1” wide soft flat paintbrush, disposable rubber gloves, ALSO look up and find “plastic ear covers” on line or in a hair care store. they help. ALSO get a thick facial mask cream that you would like to treat your face with during this treatment. It will also serve to block your face from hair dye mishap drops.
Pluck / shape your eyebrows in the sun with good tweezers and a magnifying little hand mirror.
Comb the hairs upwards with a brow comb abd trim the excess that wigglers up above the brow. Yank out that one or two hairs that are abnormally long and bent. you dond need those.
Put you facial mask on w a brush right up to the hairline THICK, around the brows top and bottom. A great way to condition you skin as well as block and overflow of dye.
I also put a teeth whitening tray in at this point, another beauty treatment that stands out gloriously against black hair!
BUY plastic ear covers and put them on. Put rubber gloves on.
Mix the color with the develop in equal amounts with the paintbrush. BTW i’m a guy w a sort of superman/Ronald Reagan hairdo so i start at the temples with the brush very carefully. Be sure the brush is not dripping.
I for over twenty years i have had my hair cut to precision in a clark kent / ronald reagan style with my eyebrows shaped. I come from a family of redheads, but my hair is doodie brown (what most people who dye their hair black call their brown hair)as well as some red and now, unfortunately, some grey. I dye my hair and eyebrows at the same time, and used to dye my lashes myself but now have someone else do it. The risk is too high, really, go to someone for that.
Use the flat paintbrush to do your hairline around your face. My Ronald Reagan doo is very chiseled so keep the lines clean and concise. the face mask should meet right up to the dye. DONT let too much get on the brush cause it will drip – not ok.
Do your entire hairline patiently painting downwards, starting at the top of the temples. Each glop from a brush should be covering about 2 sq inches of fairly short hair.
Get a hand mirror and paint your hairline all around sideburns, over ears and down thru the back.
Then get mascara wand and carefully comb color thru eyebrows. keep the color toward the center hairs of the brows because it will fan out and you dont want to paint to the edges or you’ll look like groucho marx. trust me, just the center us enough!
Use the mascara brush to do the the front of your hairline at the root combing it back. Dont use the brush at the front bottom of your forehead hairline – you will have black blotted forehead skin! Carefully comb bach with mascara brush.
THEN carefully scop (or have the dye in a dispenser) the dye on and into the main large areas of hair noe that the borders are done. use a mirror lkng in a mirror. Fill it up! patience will pay off. a patient job just takes a little longer and you will SO be haapy for its results.
wait 15-20 mins
Hunch down in the tub with shampoo and wash under the bath fawcet. when a huge lather is up click it over to shower and SLOWLY rise up. shampoo again (no dandruff shampoo it kills the luster of dyed hair). THEN use a serious facial exfoliant and wash you face and rub it into the hairline. Rumor was to use cigarette ashes but thats bull – you just need an exfoliant. thats what that did… but ew gross!
Moisturize your skin after drying off face and hair.
I put Vitapointe Creme Hairdress in my hair.
Any mishaps on your skin (and colorists arer lying if they say these arent a prob) will go away in a few days of religious head rubbing.

TANJEE - LOOK IT UP. URBAN DICTIONARY. I MADE IT HAPPEN!
1. tanjee
Of questionably good intent ; ghetto
Commonly used among New York Gay and African American people in the nightclubs and vogueing houses, the word tanjee is similar to the word shady, just not as extreme.
"The dinner was fine but that biscuit was tanjee", "The door policy at that club was tanjee!" "I know the girl at the supermarket had a long day, but it was no reason to be tanjee"
tags shady sketchy questionable underhand suspicious

"J'ADORE SACHET DE FUDGE!"
I'm trying to further eliminate sugar from my diet. Unfortunately, Duncan Hines has a brownie mix that comes with a 'Fudge Packet' (aka Sachet De Fudge) and it makes for the best brownie i ever had really and truly. I also knew a french guy that was a real Sachet De Fudge. R

CHARLOTTE PERKINS GILMAN - "THE YELLOW WALLPAPER (1899)
"John is a physician, and perhaps--(I would not say it to a living soul, of course, but this is dead paper and a great relief to my mind)--perhaps that is one reason I do not get well faster.
You see he does not believe I am sick!
And what can one do?
If a physician of high standing, and one's own husband, assures friends and relatives that there is really nothing the matter with one but temporary nervous depression--a slight hysterical tendency-- what is one to do?
My brother is also a physician, and also of high standing, and he says the same thing.
So I take phosphates or phosphites--whichever it is, and tonics, and journeys, and air, and exercise, and am absolutely forbidden to "work" until I am well again.
Personally, I disagree with their ideas.
Personally, I believe that congenial work, with excitement and change, would do me good.
But what is one to do?
I did write for a while in spite of them; but it does exhaust me a good deal--having to be so sly about it, or else meet with heavy opposition.
I sometimes fancy that in my condition if I had less opposition and more society and stimulus--but John says the very worst thing I can do is to think about my condition, and I confess it always makes me feel bad..." - The Yellow Wallpaper"
...THIS DEMENTED STORY has been one of my favourite short stories. This was written by a victorian woman as a fictional journal of a woman's descent into madness (or liberation?). I've wondered and imagined many times what the yellow wallpaper looked like. It's always moving. And people creep in it. I'll get back to you with something. R
