Dont wash it first!!!!!!!!!! If you dont wash it, it will come out awesome! Im an expert on this, Ive had my hair every color the Rainbow and bleached one 2 many. No, my hair didnt fall out..

 

You seem to have missed the picture...

 

Sorry, I did miss the picture. I just skipped all of that.

 

Don't wash, your natural oils will help ya out. It'll be more prone to long term damage if you fry your hair when it's clean

 

Haha, well, it's page 3, if I say I don't need advise anymore, it could get lost. I think the picture is on page 2.

The picture makes it look a lot more reddish/orangish than it actually is. It's not 100% even though, and, since I'm going for Legolas-hair, it's not light enough either... so I'm doing another session with aforementioned female friend (oh, how I wish hair wasn't the only "session"... ah well, c'est la vie)... so I'll post an after-after as well.
