Purple People

As many of you know, early on I made the decision to have fun with the possibility of hair loss as a result of my chemo treatment. Stage One of this part of the adventure was to dye my hair purple. Other people have joined in and gotten purple stripes to show support. Tuesday evening Mom, Kim and I went to Broad Ripple Hair Design (http://broadripplehair.com/home/). There ended up being 11 of us for a little purple party, 5 of whom left with purple stripes.

First- What I looked like in the beginning

Then I got a trim and style

And then we started bleaching

I spent a lovely time under the dryer

It was a great color
Everyone really liked it but Will, the owner, decided he could make me a better blonde another time.

Then we added purple
Of course, I couldn't see any of this part.

And then it was purple!
It doesn't photograph perfectly.
It is really bright and shiny, and very purple.

My Uncle sprayed his beard (temporary)

Sandy got a stripe

My Aunt did her swoosh


Emily, Kim and Mom got a stripe but had to be bleached first

Group shot!
(arriving soon)

Thank you to everyone who came out and supported me Tuesday night. An amazing thank you to Broad Ripple Hair Design for the amazing hair, amazing stripes and great people.
