The reason for getting my hair highlighted: My oldest needed a model for her new job. Her supervisor wanted to see her strengths and weaknesses, I guess, even though she just graduated. So whatever. So I come in, and she's asking her supervisor if she should use a dye to highlight my hair-since it's already blonde and been lightened a few times, or if she should use something with a toner. Her supervisor told her to use bleach. Which is not something they EVER used on clients at her school. Because you can fry someone's hair that way. Which is exactly what happened to mine. So, I ended up with a haircut as well-pretty much like how she refused to cut my hair before-and I told her, it's no big deal. It's just hair. It'll grow back. And next time, she shouldn't doubt herself.

Interesting, though. I didn't know when hair got fried from over-processing, it would get soft and mushy. I always thought it would be like straw.
