Hair dye

I saw a few strands of stray grey hairs. If it's all grey, I would leave them. Or maybe colour it salt and pepper. Since it's more pepper than salt, I decided to colour my hair. Just dark brown which is my natural hair colour. Funny for an Asian not to have jet black hair. I have some red and gold hairs too. Just a few. Like finding a needle in a haystack. I got it from my mother.

So, I bought a home kit. DIY hair dye. A Schwarzkopf. I followed the instruction. Scrutinizing all the steps.

First step, mix developer with colourant. I miss our chemistry lab session. It was in college. Good old days.

Next, apply. OH DEAR LORD! It's like mashing a century egg and applying it on your head. It smells like century egg. Ammonia. My eyes watered. This is the second time this week. Yesterday was 2 rotten eggs.

It's overpowering that I think that's how the end of the world would be. Or Bhopal or gassing of the Kurds. Or falling into a septic tank full of horse urine.

Next time, I'll just wear a ventilator with extra extra Extra HEPA filter. Okay, I'm exaggerating.

It's almost time for me to rinse off those grey smelly gunk off my head.
