I will be the first to admit that I was a Sun-In girl when I was in jr high. My mom wouldn't let me dye my hair permanently, but she would let me damage it to no end
.
I was a punk rock wannabe back then so I tried to get bleached streaks in front of my dark brown hair... with bleach... yup... I was a dork.
When I was in high school I was allowed to dye my hair semi permanent. And in college, I went and got highlights at the college salon. They weren't bad... but the haircut I had was terrible.
I've done the Feria highlight kit and the Loreal dye and highlight kit... but it grows out so strange so I've nixed ever doing highlights again. I like my mocha brown hair.
