To people who`ve got bleached hair

Okay I know I post about this way to much but I`m still totally bemuzed (Or confused) about this whole bleaching thing.

To anyone who`s had their hair bleached blonde (epsecially from black) how much did it cost? How long did it take to get rid of the damage and how much was there? Do you have pictures, especially before and after(I`m not sure what colour I`ll want it)? Can you dye other colours over it and wash it out(or let it fade out)?

From what I`ve seen on tv, they can bleach your hair either in chunks (they do this sometimes on people with dark hair for highlights), or they can do your whole head at once. I get the impression that it can burn a little bit.

Now, this is why people say not to do this at home-some people`s hair may turn orange in the process, which is why you should have a professional do this-they would probably know what to expect and how to get it the way you want it. Cost? I`d say 150, but that would be for both processes. Give or take 50 in most areas.

You can then put other colors on top of the blonde.
Like I`ve said before, I really don`t know how long the manic panic and others last. I do know that bleached hair is more porous and will "grab" the color longer (and retain it longer).

Damage would depend on how often you redye over it and how much of your hair you had bleached in the first place. But you would obviously have to worry about it getting dried out from the bleach.

Two process-
The first is the bleach and the second whatever temporary/permanent color you want over it.
Salons usually charge more for this.

Touch ups can be from 30-70 bucks a pop.

Nobody said trying to be unique would be cheap :)

You can just do the bleached tips and then dye over them with crazy colors and that wouldn`t cost as much.

I`ve done it myself. It`s sooo freakingg easy. I just picked up a bleach kit at CVS for 10-15 bucks and read the instructions then did it. It turned out great. Maxim makes a good kit. BTW I`m only 15 and was able to do it

I know hair is dead but I thought you could repair it using lots of conditioner? I`ve seen people with really bleached hair that doesn`t look very damaged at all. And it DOES get regenerated, it grows out and sure the new batch of hair that was bleached at the root That comes a lot later would be a lot less damaged?
