Green hair and bad teeth.
Well, the greening of Em was a bust. It actually looks more green in the sunlight, but inside under low light you can barely see it at all. There’s a closeup at right which shows it a little bit, but it’s really hard to see in this picture.
I think “subtle” would best describe it. However, when you’re ten, you don’t want “subtle.” You want ANIMATED SUPERHERO AWESOME GIRL FANTASTIC. We may try some Special Effects brand but I don’t think it’ll do much more without bleaching her hair, which we’re not going to do.
Oh well. She had fun doing it, so we can chalk it up to another learning experience.
On an unrelated note, Em went to the dentist to see if the amoxicillin had cleared up her infection.
It had not.
The previous x-ray didn’t extend all the way to the base of the teeth. This one does. The dentist says that the two dark areas at the base of the roots on the second-to-leftmost tooth (the biggest tooth) are advanced decay. She has referred us to a general dentist with pediatric experience for a root canal.
Em’s taking it surprisingly well. I, on the other hand, may run the X-ray by someone else for a second opinion. She’s probably correct in what needs to be done, but I still need to check if there’s even a chance we can avoid it.
Em, meanwhile, has taken an eight-second-long shower (she timed it on a timer), changed into her princess costume from Halloween, and is watching PBS kids’ shows while hanging out on the couch. ETA: Now she’s added a swim mask. Just another day at Casa de Tvini.
she’s not interested in the temporary comb in stuff I mentioned?
honestly, without bleaching you’re never going to get a vibrant green.

Yup, Manic Panic won’t really pop out unless she’s blonde or unless you bleach her hair.

What about getting a couple strips of blond clip in extensions and dying them green? You can get them really cheap at just about any beauty supply store, and then could put them in where she wants them. It’s not real hair, but I bet the Manic Panic stuff would still stain it pretty well. And you wouldn’t need to wash them, so wouldn’t have to worry about fading.

She might go for that. Good thought.

Heck, you can even get already-colored ones at Hot Topic in a wide variety of colors, including some striped ones.

I’d have to agree with the commentators above, getting hair extensions you can dye (or buy already dyed) would be best for Emily’s style and taste as she is such a fashionista that green would be great for a day or two. But what if she wants pink or bright yellow, or even purple streaks to match an outfit? I say spend the $$$$ on extensions. Even mommy can wear them! Now THAT is a pic I’d like to see! LOL

Tooth xray
When I see a tooth that looks like that in a dog or cat, I give the owner 2 options: extraction or root canal. 🙁 Sorry. -Laura
