Reply #7: ANY woman with very dark hair will have a problem bleaching

[SoCalDem]

hair..especially if done at home.. A dark to light bleach job at a salon can cost a BUNCH, so lots of young women try it themselves and end up with very brittle orangish-gold hair..

(In junior high, my friend and I ended up with very short hair after a botched attempt at "being blonde"...:cry:

Certain ethnic types usually have dark hair:
Italian
Greek
Spanish
South American
Central American
Mediterranean
Native American

combine that with the fact that their hair tends to be thick and a bit coarse, and bleaching is not for amateurs..

The thin, wispy, limp locks of Nordic types fare better at home bleaching :P
