I was working part time and in my first semester in college. All my money was going to books and more books.

I was low on cash
Ramen noodles was on my menu almost everyday.
I, like almost everyone else was a poor college student.

I skimped on everything. I so needed a change...something to make me feel better, and being a young women that meant changing my hair in some way.
BUT...
I couldn't eat at the local pizzeria much less go to the hair salon.
I couldn't even buy bottled hair color.
"HUM....whats this?" I looked in the store as I bought more Ramen noodles and came across a product that promised to turn my mousy brown hair a golden hue. It was called Sun-in.

"OOOOOO this is great." I thought and the price was right. Never mind that it was really intended for people with lighter brown or preferably blond hair. I counted my pennies and I bought the sun-in bottle home.
I took a shower and I eagerly read the bottle's instructions.
...spray in wet hair and dry with a hair dryer. I did just that, But it didn't seem to be working...so I sprayed some more....and some more and some more. finally my hair was dripping with the stuff and the heat from the hair dryer would work it's magic...
I sprayed too much and instead of soft highlights I looked in the mirror and got........

That's right I had the same color as bozo the clown or Ronald McDonald ( for you younger crowd).
I thought "well maybe it's not that bad." All around me were people with pink and blue and unnaturally jet black hair. My bright orange locks didn't phase any of my college friends.

I thought "No big deal" Until I walked into work the next day and the boss gave me this look...
