Thanks Ladies for the love and compliments.
*JenniferMD: Yes, you're right, it was worth the pain.
*Webby: Yes, I’m very tender-headed, so it may not be as painful for most.
*Mrslee: Yes, it’s best to wait until you feel it's in great condition, but from the looks of your pics, it looks very healthy.
*Myco: I’ll pm you the info. This was the first time I’ve ever been to her, but overall I was satisfied. I will continue to do my own hair, but may go to her for color.
*Lorraine: Hey, sorry I haven't been on much, but the BF keeps me busy and I've been working out 4 days a week.
Yeah, I also wanted to try a professional this time and I felt comfortable with her, because she was recommended by someone who also gets highlights from her.
*1Specialk: Sure, I’ll try to keep everyone updated on the progress of my color.
*Hair2day: Thanks for the info. I also think, the longer your hair, the more it will hurt trying to pull it through the cap.
*Brownstallion: Yes, she rollerset the top portion and I sat under the dryer. Then she hot curled it to smooth it out.
Oh yeah, my hair is actually a little lighter than it appears in the photos.
Again, thanks ladies for the love and inspiration. Your lovely comments have reassured me about the color, because I wasn't that sure about it at first. Thanks!
