Wooden you like a new hair color?

I colored my hair over the weekend in an attempt to wipe out most of the grey that threatened to take over their brown counterparts.

My daughter spied the empty box in the trash and the side panel featured three “before” hues next to three “after” hair colors, close-up photos of various shades of brown hair. She took one look at them and said, “Oh, Mom. I wouldn’t use this stuff if I were you.” I asked her why not, expecting her to tell me that I should be blonde like she is, which she frequently taunts me with. “Look,” she said, pointing to the close-up photos. “If you use this stuff your hair will look like wood.” She was right. The photos did look like wood grain samples. I guess that’s a chance I’ll take since it sure beats having hair that looks like steel wool.
