i did it on the last day of school sophomore year with my best friend... somehow, hers washed out in a week. i barely had normal hair in time for school to start... and going to a strict catholic school... well... pink hair was NOT allowed...

here's a pic of it... about a month after it was done... just terrible... i looked like some punky kid...

Awww 15 year old Jess!

3 months?!?

That reminds me of the time in 8th grade we thought it would be fun to dye things using kool aide. Well, I'm a wuss..I was a non-participant BUT I did help dye my friend Karla's hair (and my hands). It literally took over a year for the color to come out of her hair. She had one big strand of red hair. Needless to say, kool aide was never touched again.
