..okay, so this saturday, i am jejely plannin to go shoppin, as i reached the bus stop, minding my own business, listening to my ipod and tryin not to sing out too loud.(typical me)
as i sat in the bus, i just let out a fantastic yoruba scream.....ehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.
..the shuttle driver slowed down and looked at me, (am sure he is thinkin, these Africans, what is it now").
can you believe it what are the odds, the guy right beside me is holding the new harry potter book"original" released 12am this very morning.
....dats how razz toyintomato,asked the typical dumb question... "xcuse me is that the new harry potter book"
the bobo looked at me strangely, i told him, do you mind if i take a look.
am sure the guy , wanted to do anythin to shut me up.
..this was 8am in the mornin, i did not think i would see the book until 4pm to say the least..
so toyintomato was extremely excited to
1: touch the new harry potter book
2: open the first 4 pages
3: look at the back of the book
unfortunately the fear of shamin my self in public, refused me to ask the boy if i should read a couple of the pages..hahahah., anyway am happy.
....see everywhere in the mall, all these little kids are reading the harry potter book, oblivious to anythin around them...haba, just too young for addiction to start.. abeg wetin concern me., so i just removed my face.
had a lenthy phone call with my one and only sister, heard she had chicken pox, and fear is catchin her, that it would destroy her face...anyway, i told her it would not be funny, if i catch the stupid thing from across the phone, you kno how these Americans dont joke with contagious diseases..
abeg let me stop, you know they monitor online blogs and flag sensitive words, before they send immigration and health services to my house..
...(...oya American people reading this blog. i state i do not have chicken pox, true ..lol)
oya the mall gist, i went to the mall to look for a red purse/bag to match my red shoes. so i did balogun/lagos island shoppin style, i took one leg of the shoe to the mall, i did not send jare, you shld have seen me, ..i was on a mission, if i see a purse, i will just pull out my shoe and place it beside the bag, abeg it my money oh.
one oyinbo woman , used eye to look at me,
cuz i scattered around 6 different shades of red purses on the floor, trying to match my shoe.but you trust me that didnt even faze me...me i dont have shame when it comes to shoppin..lol
anyway i successfully got a green and pink purse, but no red bag, i tire, you know its only in the summer that these oyinbo's have color, by the fall all i will be seein is boring Grey , brown and ever reliable black bags.
..(..1 hour later, after my regular Sunday Sunday naija phone call. me and my stupid big mouth, now i have to go back to the mall, and buy the bags for both my mum and my sister, i hope the sale is still on then.
..another 3 hours later,oya, this is toyintomato vexin big time, i give up, this my naija jet black hair, has failed me again, this is the 2nd time, i am tryin to dye it dark red , and it comes out brown...whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy me!..Baba God all i want is red hair?
..i have decided, i will do night vigil and prayer and fasting, by next week toyintomato's hair must turn red, before the chicago trip on August 5th..."i call this operation red hair by 05."..hahah
(hey girls pls i need suggestions on what product i should use to dye my hair red, since we all have naija hair)

lol.....me i really dnt know the pleasure they have in that harry potter book sha. I just dyed my hair red.,nd i went to a spanish salon nd told her exactly wat i wanted,nd how i wanted it look, nd it was perfect. Actually the thing made my hair fuller sef. So u might wanna go to the salon...cos those dye products be rip offs sometimes.
@Lurlar, thats what every one is tellin me, so maybe next weekend salon it is, but i have only white salons around, the nearest black hair salon is like 30 mins away..i tire.
white salons= salons for white people hair, usually i get my hair trimmed/cut there. am not too sure about dyein sha
...toyintomato,
thanks for stalking my blog... LOL. You have a fun one. I wish I could join the Harry Potter frenzy. My roommate was waiting with bated breath all morning yesterday for hers to be delivered in the mail. But alas I never started the series because I didn't think I would have time in grad school to be wanting to read 8 or is it 9? 800 page novels that are not related to my area of focus. So, now I just listen jealous to all the chatter, and plug my ears against spoilers. My plan is that after I finish my prelims I will go hole up in my sister's house for a week and read the whole series!
anyway, enjoy!
T-C
no shame when it comes to shopping
play on playette
I thought you might have taken that harry potter book lol
Good luck on your operation red hair! LOL.. I've never dyed my hair, but try to use dye meant for African hair is all I know! Tell your sister to try her harded not to scratch! The spots will stay longer or worse, never go away(depending on her skintype) and she should use calamaine lotion all over her body always..Pele o! had it last October so I feel her!
i once died mine wine red but i'll help u get d name of a good product for red. Gurl, red is haute o! Abeg make u buy me da Harry Potter book as my bday pressie na. Thank you in advance.lol... as Omo g said, Play on Playette.hahaaaahahahaha
Why do yu wanna dye it red nah. You do know what they say about red heads..lol! I'm starring at the book right now as a type. Unfortunately, i'm not a fanatical fan of Harry Potter. I do watch the movies but won't go to extreme lenghts to get a copy of the novel...naaaaaa!
Eh ya pele my dear.
Why do u want to dye ur hair red sef? I think jet black's da bomb. Abeg no mind my boring ass o jare.Well if all those hair colour products in America no work maybe i can send some of our naija local dye over for u, u know those type wey dem dey carry for calabash inside alakoto market. lol, I sure say the hair must respect imself then.
Meanwhile u get to go back to that mall, I need my own bag o!
oops, is it out??? LOL!!!
well, are you using permanent hair products or semi permanent...??/
You know that there are products that are for people of color like:
creme of nature, texture and tone(i amnot sure of this), dark and lovely etc....
look into those
Lol, my Mom and I do that too.
I mean, how else are you supposed to know what matches?
-You should probably hit up a salon, no use risking it.
lol@ harry potter......you sad human beings that like to read harry potter.....lol....
Thank God you didnt nick the book and jump off the bus....naija style!
xxx
That's why I have blog like yours that make me laf...
>>>Best solution for your hair...Get a red wig!!!
lol, i'm so not into this Harry Potter thing. Did you dye your hair yourself? If yes, go to a professional. If no, then maybe its the kind that needs a number of washes before the color comes out. Hehehe ur granny and her friends, too funny.
I dyed my hair wine,it was cool but i got tired of it quickly.I am trying to picture the shade of red that would look really cool,dark and lovely dye seems to work well on my hair.
no shame indeed when it comes to shopping girl! especially shoe and purse shopping. i am not too hot on the whole harry potter craze but each one to their own. good luck with operation red hair!
Na wa for you peeps and HP. Sheo!! :-)
As for dying hair, I doubt I'll ever experience that feeling.. I'm as bald as a vulture!
na only me die hair? abeg na dyed i suppose rite o!lol
lol........oya, l don come be that. Toyin tomatoe, wetin make u de do like kraze woman for mall.lol. Reminds me of a proper Naija girl. Abeg, l no send o jare. ANyways, to dye your hair, make sure u use the right color ok so that u don end up with what was l thinking hair?lol.
That harryporter book thingy was funny. A lot of kids are reading it. My co-worker's nephew got the book at 2.30 am at the bookstore. What the heck? That krazy for harryporter. lol..................his number was 700.lol and he waited paitently in line for that. what the heck?
Why RED?
Oh well if u really like it, go for it. i thot about dying my hair once and my friends told me not to cuz it makes the hair break out a lot.
tt, mo n gba dun e. Abeg make a quick stop over in Ontario make I spoil you small. We get red bag here. Just tell the "taxi driver" say you wan quick go see Niagara Falls. I go meet you halfway. As per dying hair, you are OYO o because me, na white colour I wan dye my own. Yes! Na me talk am! Enjoy your trip o and let us plan this laspapi drama quick! :) Have a great week.
I have colored my hair close to red before and my stylist used matrixx hair color. I'm not sure if they sell it stores sha as it is a salon product. Just remember that you have to condition your hair often.
ok, if u can't make it to the black hair salon don't go to white ppl salon cause they can't do black hair am a cosmetologist and i can give u a little advice. read this first. Am not liable for anything damage cause to ur hair this is done improperly lol. ok now how to sucessfuly color ur hair red well it depends on what shade of red, u can go to sallys or one of the chincos beauty supply get a sachet of bleach powder and a 20volume cream developer, then u need get a semi-permanet color, make sure u're using semi cause permanet will break ur hair, a brand thats recommended over the counter is (beautiful collection by clairol its in brown bottle or jazzing thats in a pink bottle.
application process.
1 sachet of bleach powder
20 volume cream devoper
1 bottle of ur favorite semi red color
gloves
it depends on the length of ur hair.
get something to measure, what ever u measure with measure the powder, let say u put a 1cup of bleach in the bowl u have to put 1cup of the Cdeveloper in the bowl u get it mix well and put all over ur hair ur hair will start getting light it depends on how thick ur hair is don't let stand no more than 20minute then rinse it out until u see clear water don't let it get in ur eyes then shake that red color and put it all over your hair and put a shower cap i say let it stand for about 30 minute then rinse and wash ur hair with a shampoo and a good conditional. note:
The longest u let the bleach stand the more red ur hair
Then make sure u get a good color shampoo and some protein conditional like (hair mayonaise) and make sure every time u get ur hair washed get a deep conditional hou u do that after ur hair is washed put the conditional on and put a shower cap for about 20minute or more and rinse. this is very important when u have color in ur hair. i rest my case. so help her God.
if u was in my state u could have come to my salon but if u follow direction u'll be ok and let me know how it turned out i'll stalk ur blog as ofen as i could

Well since U are the self acclaimed queen of razzo, maybe those of us fringe, aspiring razzoids can take a cue. Imagine me with my nappy head...sporting deep green hair?....omo that will be the blast ojare..:D
Dis August 5th go hot o!

@princesa..dont worry, i will give una the full gist
@omoibadan:haha,hilarity- hilarocious, to see your hair in green..anyway dyed the hair back to black..jare..it was too much wahala
I didn't read through all the comments so I don't know if someone has said this already. Please do not dye your hair week after week, it will fall off!!! As in in clumps...lol, it will fall off (it happened to me so I am traumatized) after a month or two, go to a salon, if you can find an aveda one around you, better, they are really good with color, so are the dominicans and then you can have your red hair :)
