I DID IT!!!
I was kind of nervous because I couldn't decide between copperish highlights or caramel highlights, but I went with copper, since that's what was on my ends. After the color was applied, washed out, deep conditioned, then he sat me under the dryer to let the hair dry loose for a bit. When he took me from under the dryer, it was 95% dry and he used a paddle brush to dry it all the way and straighten it out. (it was poofy at first). I was nervous at first when I saw the color (before he started blow drying). It was kind of like "IN YOUR FACE" and I all of a sudden became nervous again.
To be honest, my hair got pin straight from just the blow dryer. After he was done blow drying, he flat ironed it. Then I reminded him that I was going to go with 3 inches today. He showed me where 3 inches was on his rat tail comb and asked if I was sure. I told him I was and I would just come back later if I didn't think that was enough off. (but I have to admit, when I saw it all straight, I started having second thoughts about getting the ends cut off
). I told him don't bump it under that I would do that when I got home. I told him I wanted a blunt cut. When he was done cutting, he told me I had about 4 more inches of relaxed ends and they should have grown out by the summer. I was too happy because I was thinking of maybe 10 inches of relaxed ends.
Well here are the pics. (Oh and I can use the shirt I have on as a measure since it is color blocked and the stripe is right by my arm pit, so hey, I guess I am APL right now)
