Shh... mommy doesn't know yet. I'm also cutting bits nd pieces.
The very underlayer, including my bangs, will be black. Everythig above that will be silver and there will be teal streaks throughout, especially in my bangs. '
I might go with light pink/blonde instead of silver/teal though... I think it might look better pink, but teal's my favorite color and that would be so badass. :(
wilkl any of yyou let my dye your hair?
Well, I can certainly say that nobody's going to dye my hair, let alone a girl thousands of miles away.
DONT DO IT baddood;

Well, I didn't.
I was thinking about dying my hair dark brown and leaving my bangs blonde.

I like that style. :3
I say go for it.
Who's going to do it? If you have the money, I highly recommend getting a pro to do it. My brother gets a professional hairdresser to dye his hair, and it definitely shows. It's fine if you get a friend to do it, but it might look kinda shoddy (or really shoddy, if your friend is retarded).
Cool?
And no, I would never let somebody dye my hair.

Actually, I'm usually the one who does my friends' hair. I pretty much know what I'm doing, and really- it's not hard at all. I dont see how people screw up so badly. I can tell you right now my general process- full bleach for about an hour, roots last, white or violet toner to turn the hair from yellow to silver, pin up all unwanted hair (all the top layers), rub vasoline on those routes to protect, and dye the rest black. Dying hair black is the easiest process ever because it's near impossible to screw up. The only thing I have to worry about is that because I'm stripping the color beforehand, I don't actually know if it'll hold the pigment immediately, but it should be fine. And then the highlights are supposed to look random, so all I really have to do is use tinfoil to hold that in and away from the silver.

*lol,nevermind, she deleted her myspace*
It's just gonna be me and my friend who is actually attending cosmetic school right now. There will be another friend there, but there's no way in hell I'm letting her touch my hair.

God, that sounds tricky. Most people I know just pour Kool Aid in their hair or something like that.

How long has she been attending cosmetic school? You have to be wary of that kind of thing. A lot of people will make up bullshit like "I'm practicing for beauty school" and then fuck up your hair completely.

Koolaid works but fades really quickly, and it certainly wouldn't do much to help with the black or silver I want. Koolaid's fun when you're just looking for a random tint of color. It's especially fun when your mom, who won't allow any unnatural colors in your hair, doesn't believe koolaid will do anything and is then proven wrong.
For all intensive purposes (I don't think I said or used that phrase correctly), I'm dying my hair myself. I trust
no one with my hair, that's why I cut it myself too. She's really just there to keep a watch over what I'm doing to the back of my head.
She's only honing in on her first year now.

You're going to do it yourself? Isn't that, like, impossible?

It's "intents and purposes" :)

Uh... yeah, it's possible. Why wouldn't it be?
and I think you're lying to me on that last part. (Update: nevermind, I got a second opinion. :()

You can be green for real! :3

Because you can't really see what you're doing. I don't know, maybe I'm just completely inept.

Erm... what colors?

I'm thinking orange and pink.

Could we die my hair black first? I'm not sure if orange against brown would look good.

yay ultra kawaii ^o^
Oh no, this is not kawaii. If I wanted your hair to be Kawaii, your colors wouldn't be orange and red, or whatever I said.
By the way, I decided for the summer I'm going pink and fuschia. Not just any pink though, oh no, I'm using dye that glows under black light. :3
It's usefuil for the Connecticon and Otakon raves. I'll be dying it right before the cons, so probably late july.
