At Home Highlights

Cherish and Cayleen came over on Wednesday and we highlighted her hair.  I was nervous about it because even though I worked in a salon during high school I have never done anything like this before.  She bought the bleach and developer from Sallys and we used regular kitchen tin foil and gave it a try.  

I think it turned out well and Cayleen seemed to like it too.  One thing that I think helped is that my sister (who owns a hair salon) talked to me about what to do on the phone before we got started.  We only did the top half of her hair which was good because it took me about 1 hr and 45 minutes to get it all on.  Also Cherish was my extra set of hands, I don't think I could have done it without her holding the foil while I put the bleach on the hair.

I get my hair highlighted by my sister regularly and I have also used a box to color my hair.  But I have friends who have never colored their hair at all.  I think it is fun to try different colors and styles.  Now I am thinking about going red to match my kids but I don't know I am ready yet. Should I?  I figure that it is only hair and if it doesn't look good it will always grow back and I can start with my natural color again.  That is why I think I will let my kids do whatever they want with their hair.  Would you let your kids do something crazy with their hair?
