UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN Thursday, April 27, 1995 7A Exciting new hair sparks interest Experiences with hair coloring end with the unexpected By Erin Johnson Kansan Correspondent When Julie Kurre rinsed her hair in blueberry Kool-Aid and let it dry on a dare, she didn't know that she would be walking around with a tint of blue in her hair for a week. "One night I was really bored, and it was 2 in the morning," said Kurre, Kirkham, Mo., freshman. "I thought I would shock my friends, and I did. They owed me $10 after that." Randy Sievers, a stylist at GQHair-styling, 611 W. Ninth St., said that coloring hair was becoming more popular with college students because of its versatility. He said that temporary coloring was the most popular because it could be changed every month without hair damage. Teresa Hopkins, Overland Park freshman, got tired of being the only person in pictures with her hair a lighter color. She said that she decided to go to a salon, when home hair products weren't working. Even at the salon she didn't get what she wanted. "I was in shock because my hair wasn't lighter, it was red," she said. "He was coloring it, and I said, 'Oh my God, my hair is red.'" Sievers said people should check out various stylists to find one that has a lot of experience coloring hair. They also should check with friends or family who have had their hair colored at a salon before. "I never recommend hair coloring without professional advice," he said. "I see clients all the time saying they have problems with their hair color not working." Hopkins said that she was not the only one disappointed in the results of the hair coloring. color. Don't ever do it again." "My mom hated it," she said. "Every time I went home, every 5 minutes, she said I hate that hair Athletes at KU also have been coloring their hair to show their school spirit. Just as KU center Scot Pollar colored his hair to show spirit for the NCAA Final Four Tournament, several swimmers colored their hair to show spirit before the Big Eight swimming championships. KU swimmer Lisa Hicks, Barrington, Ill., freshman, was nervous at first but realized that the color would not last forever. She colored her dark blond hair red. "I did it once, and tons of purple was coming out of my hair," she said. "I just freaked. I was nervous because it was permanent, but I knew it would eventually come out with the chlorine." However, hair damage can result from a poor coloring job. Sievers said that he had seen people who want blond hair come in with orange hair or hair so fragile from dyeing that it was about to fail out. Salons try to restore and replenish the hair the best they can, but sometimes that's not possible. "It's a chemical," he said. "To get desired results, they really need professional advice." Permanent hair coloring can do control damage to hair. Salons compensate with prescription shampoo and conditioner to replenish the damage. "When I first got it done, the guy had to strip the previous color of my hair," Hopkins said. "The chemicals he used damaged my hair, and every time I washed it, it felt dry. It wasn't soft anymore." In temporary coloring instances, it only takes a few weeks for the color to come out. However, when a mistake has been made, a few weeks seems like a few years. "I thought it was really cool at first; but the next night when I washed it four times and it didn't come out, I just thought to myself I'm a dead woman," Kurre said. "I will never get this out of my hair. I'll never do this again."

"Tve put many a card up there since the middle of last semester." The requests and offers for rides range from Kansas City to other states. Both the cards for drivers and passengers provide spaces for phone numbers. However, Bauer said that he took precautions and didn't drive just anyone.
