8. Do Not Try DIY Hair Bleaching – And if You Do, Don’t Use a Walmart Bag
This is the sign not to try home hair bleaching if you ever needed one. Mostly because of the bag she placed on her head to retain the bleach in, this woman tried to bleach her hair and things did not come out quite as she would have imagined. She came out looking like a walking logo for Walmart, with the Walmart stamp on her head, instead of having recently dyed hair. If there is any advantage, it does seem that her hair was effectively bleached during the process; yet, she also left a stamp and mark of Walmart.
In the era of instructions and do-it-yourself beauty procedures, our daring heroine chose to handle her hair change. Equipped with a can-do attitude and a box of bleach, she set out to attain that sun-kissed appearance she had always dreamed of. But in a turn of events that would have even the most experienced hairdresser shudder, she grabbed the closest plastic bag—a Walmart shopping bag—to cover her bleach-soaked hair. She had no idea, though, that this inexpensive decision would result in an unanticipated branding chance. The bleach performed its magic, as the heat and chemicals teamed to cover her forehead with the Walmart emblem, therefore transforming her into an unintentional brand spokesperson. It follows: Indeed, a nicely bleached mane; but, also a forehead boldly announcing her commitment to the retail behemoth. She couldn’t help but wonder if Walmart might take consideration this guerilla marketing and offer her a sponsorship agreement as she gazed at her reflection and felt a mix of dread and delight. She will be double-checking the bags they employ, and her next hair appointment is most certainly at a professional salon. She is left to consider in the meanwhile if wearing bangs would be appropriate for the foreseeable future and how long it takes for a forehead tattoo to disappear.
