Blue for a cure Part2

Recently my eldest daughter signed up for the Leukemia foundations fundraiser called

"Shave for a cure"

You can shave, wax or colour your hair to raise funds for cancer research.

 I usually refer to her as "dream child No4", but her name is actually Geordie & she  has coloured  her hair Blue today!

The before shot, she has shaved one side of her head

The middle of the process, her hair had to be bleached blonde before it would go blue.

and the after shot.....after 2 applications of blue, as apparently her ends went a little green!!!

Its not to late to sponsor her if you have a passion for this cause.

Just pop by

NSW cancer Council Fundraising

So proud of my gorgeous girl for doing something for such a worthy cause!

Have a fabulous weekend everyone!!!

Blue for a cure

On the 30th of March 2012 the beautiful dream child No 4 is going to participate in one of Australia's greatest fundraisers

Worlds greatest shave

In case you haven't heard about it,

 The worlds greatest Shave is where people gain sponsorship to either shave, wax or colour their hair to raise money for the Leukaemia Foundation, to help with their ongoing support of people with blood cancer.

My fabulous daughter is going to colour her gorgeous long locks

 BRIGHT BLUE!!!!

I don't appear to have a pic to show you just how long her hair has gotten, but as you can see it is very dark  & in order to go bright blue it will need to be bleached right up to BLONDE....eek!!!

You can see some tiny snippets of blue foiled into her fringe in this pic, but her hair will become brighter than that all over her head.

I'm very proud of her for joining in on such a fantastic cause!!

If anyone is interested in sponsoring her  all you need to do is pop by

Here

Your support will be greatly appreciated!

She is hoping to raise a minimum of $1000

I'm not actually doing her hair as she lives 4 hours away but a family friend who is also a hairdresser is undertaking this humongous colour task. Geordie or dream child No 4 as you all know her has about 3 times the amount of hair compared to the average person, its super thick & reasonably long, although I imagine a lot of it will need to be cut off after such radical bleaching session.

As they say on TV

 " Don't try this at home folks!"

If your natural hair colour is only 2 shades off being black, you are not meant to be blonde or blue for that matter!!! 

I will keep you posted on how she goes & of course some lovely photo's of the end result.

Have you ever shaved or coloured your hair in the name of fundraising?

A bad hair day

In case you don't already know,  I am currently a stay at home mum, but previous to moving to the Hunter Valley I worked as a hairdresser, owning my own salon in the Blue Mountains.

Now this little tidbit of information about my past is just to help paint the picture of the horror I felt when seeing my sons new hairstyle!!!

He & his dad thought it would be FUN to surprise me with the fact that I didn't have to worry about giving Tom the new summer hair cut he desired!!

SURPRISED..Yes I was indeed, in fact, I struggled to hold back the tears.

My dream guy knows I'm not a fan of what he affectionately calls "A real mans hair cut"

This is what he looked like pre clippers & he was in need of a trim, but hey dream guy, I can see why your an electrician & not a hairdresser.

Lucky he is a good lookin rooster, Ay!!
