Anonymous asked: Re: Someone asking if hair needs to be bleached to "starch white"--NEVER bleach to white. You will fry your hair and it will come out in clumps. Always bleach to a pale yellow (like the inside of a banana peel) and then TONE to platinum/white--and you only need to do this for pastel/pale colours, like soft pinks and blues. Everything else will take over anything from ginger to yellow, depending on the colour.

It also depends on each persons hair! Your best bet for bleaching is to go to a professional.

littlemissmaquillage asked: I love the new ion alt colors Sally's carries, they're nice and rich and REALLY bright.

I haven’t tried it yet, I’m going to have to find it now!

aidanapocalypse asked: Yea tell me about it. I just happened to move to an area where "that look" isn't very popular, so they only carry Beyond the Zone (which has never worked for me) and maybe a few MP colors--MAYBE. I was pretty blown away by the fail.

I hope you found somewhere else that carries brands that work for you!

aidanapocalypse asked: As far as Sally's goes, it's going to depend on your area. I used to live by a Sally's that had a great selection (even carried SFX!). But, most of the ones I've been to have an awful selection (don't even carry Manic Panic) and the dyes they do have don't have a very good staying power (at least on my hair). It's important to note that everyone's hair is different and what works for one person may not work for another and vice-versa. If you can't order online, Sally's works in a pinch.

Wow, I’ve never visited a Sally’s that doesn’t even carry Manic Panic!

worldfighter asked: Ive had splat, and I want a big fan of its consistancy, and ability to lighten the color, but I dont believe I have tried zone yet. :) Thank you!

Good luck! :)
