I picked up some bright red manic panic yesterday. manic panic is crap, but I still use it because it's the best sally's had. I bleached my hair a couple of times before I dyed it pink, but it dried out my hair big time so now I just do it over my hair. It's not as bright, but still hardcore.
Look her up: Elia @ Battleshop (in Montrose, next to Boulevard Bistro) does my highlights. She's great. She charges between 30.00 and 40.00 -- depending on the amount of hair and tone. Battleshop -- "Waging the war against bad hair!"
After Texas beat Nebraska thanks to James Brown on 4th down, I dyed (sp?) my hair burnt orange. 1 year later I died the tips of my spiky hair blonde. Good times.
I'm allergic to everything, otherwise I would tint whatever hair I still have. I just wish I was one of those people who have beards darker that their hair... mine is the opposite.
