So I was standing in the hair care aisle of my local stupidmarket this afternoon contemplating which particular shampoo and conditioner to get since the shampoo of the usual type of the usual brand I’ve fallen into using wasn’t in stock.

And I ended up buying a colour-friendly version of the shampoo because I thought “Ooh, I should use up the rest of that chocolate rinse I have, and colour-friendly would be good for that”.

But then, standing naked in my bedroom I realised that I must have used up the last of that particular colour when I coloured my hair last (however many months ago that was).

Moving to the bathroom I noticed that I had some ‘hot chilli’ red rinse of the same brand in my medicine cabinet.

Seeking just a word of encouragement from Anthony I mentioned it and asked “what do you say?” to which he replied “red? go for it :)”

And so an hour or so later I found myself with red hair for the first time in over three years.
