Hello,
Iv got two question`s for ya

(1.)I need some help I`m going to steak / highlight my hair blue and I would like to know if there are some sites out there to show me how to do it and different way to so I can chose the look that I like. Because iv seen so many ways to do it from like streaking to the chunking I don`t mess it up. I guess I just need to know the rule`s when it comes to streaking with wild color`s like are you not supposed to tint it around your face stuff like that. The rule of thumb persay

(2.)Ok iv always dyed my own hair blonde since I was very young and it always said do not use metal utensils,but I see that they use foil at the salon`s and I read some were on the net to use it at home as well to get more constant color.Is this true even though it say`s do not use metal utensils?Do you use foil only with blonde or like if I`m going to streak my hair a funky color can I use it on it to ?
Thanks for your help!!

Although it sounds like a very cool plan I know that I would be worried about doing it at home myself. I know that you said you have been dying your own hair blonde since you were young but maybe for something really cool and special like this you should consider having a professional do it the first time so you can watch them and get tips and then you can do it yourself in the future. Just a thought. I guess I would be too chicken to do something this complicated myself.
