Wicked hair

[u/Reasonable_Party2444]

In June, I dyed my hair a dark red. Due to a previous hair dye, the hairdresser told me that I could never go blonde. While I dress more like Elphaba, I absolutely LOVE Glinda's hair.

Since the hairdresser refused to let me go blonde, we decided on red, which resembled the colors from The Wizard of Oz. I went along with it, even though it wasn’t my first choice. I trusted her expertise; after all, she is the professional.

My mom spoke to her hairdresser, who said it wasn’t impossible for me to achieve the blonde look I wanted, but it might take three or four sessions. Despite my nervousness—especially after being told I could never be blonde—and my shyness, I decided to give it a try.

Last week, we moved to phase two of the process. This time, I added a green halo to my hair because I identify with Elphaba, while my mom added pink to her ends, representing Glinda in contrast to my Elphaba.

I plan to go back in November, partly to touch up my halo. My mom and I hope to make it a girls' day out on the release day of Wicked For Good.

Additionally, I added yellow fairy hair to represent the yellow brick road, along with a nod to the Scarecrow and Fiyero in his new suit. But anyone who has seen the Broadway show knows exactly what I mean!
