When I was 16 my best friend bleached her hair blonde. We were going to a concert and we decided to dye our hair with Kool-aid, no biggie, we could wash it out... BAD IDEA!! Her hair sucked in the color like a sponge and it WOULD NOT come out! She had BRIGHT purple hair!!!!! I grabbed a box of hair dye and called the 800 # on the back, the very kind lady there talked me through the procedure on getting her hair back to normal... first, we stripped her hair with the hair stripper from the beauty supply store, then we took 2 boxes of color, one a light strawberry blonde and one a light brown. Ya take one of the colors and put it on your hair without mixing the color with the conditioners, leave it on for a few minutes, wash it out and then color like normal with the second color... let me just say her hair looked BEAUTIFUL when we were done! It was light brown with a hint of strawberry blonde highlights! Unfortunatly due to all of the bleaching, stripping and dying her hair started to fall out and break off so on a whim she shaved her head, yes that's right, she shaved her head!!! I stopped dying my hair after that... and so did she! For our whole senior year she was known as the "bald girl" !!!! |
