Thanks! I'll print off your suggestions. Yes, I'm doing this at home. I can call my cousin -- maybe even get her to do my hair for me, because she's a hairdresser. The last time I dyed my hair when when I dyed it black in October. Its been wearing off though. It looks pretty stupid. My roots are blonde, then it's suddenly dark black, and then the ends are brown. I also have this big strip along the back of my head that is light brown, and you can see some blonde streaks underneath. LOL. My mom sucks at dyeing my hair.
