Hair Bleach?
<div class="IPBDescription">dye!</div> I've made an appointment to get my hair bleached!
In a hair <b>salon</b> and everything!
I'm actually quite nervous, as up to this point my hair management has consisted of:
Get hair cut short at barbers
Never comb, never gel
Wait three months
Repeat
So changing to blonde and having to gel stuff down/up/across everywhere will be quite an ordeal. Worth the hassle? Anyone here ever dyed their hair? Loved it, hated it? It grows out, right? Will I feel like a camp-man for months? Will the chavs point and giggle? There's no risk of ginger, right?

I liked the effect of the bleach so I didn't bother to dye it. My hair is light to begin with so when I was done with the bleach my hair was damned near translucent.
Go for it. If you don't like it you can always shave your head <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/wink-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->

There is always a risk of ginger.
And yeah, bleached my hair several times over. Proving the person knowing what they're doing, it should come out fine. It won't damage your hair too much for just the once, but beware of roots. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->
Do you bleach before dye? Like undercoat before matt? Bleaching just makes it yellow? A dye is any hue, right on cue?
Like, there's always a risk of being hit by lightning?
<!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/sad-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad-fix.gif' /><!--endemo--> I could never understand why people want to bleach their hair, it looks really fake and stupid. Unless you're a vampire... Grr.

..Right, then.

Bleaching isn't dying.
Bleaching is removing the pygment from your hair, dying is just adding another layer of colour over the top, or whatever.
Most hair dyes have no effect whatsoever on dark hair, but have a massive effect on light hair, bleaching is always a good idea to do before dying a different colour.

Well he's bleeching it so he can dye it. Who are you to take away his god given right to look silly.
All jokes aside I'm pretty sure you can trust the salon not to mangle your head too bad flint. Allow me to suggest neon orange, sheek, sophisticated, makes it safer to cross roads at night, completely dazzle people on hallucinegons.

Can't I just bleach for that, or does it need dye too?

I have dark facial hair and I am blonde. One of life's little oddities. Not that it makes a difference or anything.
(I could grow a moustache. No beard, just don't have the hair for it. Mid twenties and there is no chance of me growing any sort of beard <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->)
I'm kind of interested as to what you're going to be doing with your hair though. I'm into fashion and all, I dig it like no other, actually.
Lucky bastage. 16 years old, I can grow a pretty thick beard in a couple days, but NO moustache. I get lazy for like 2/3 days and don't shave and I get the WORST facial-hair-stylin' possible....
just kidding. though I don't take care of my hair in any way, shape, or form, I've always been tempted to dye it some cool color like purple or neon green... too bad that's not cool for the working world...

Had milspec haircuts for 9 years. If I get more than 1 inch of hair on my head I feel like a hippy.
edit: scratch that, I had milspec haircuts since I wa 10 years old.
I resent that statement <!--emo&:angry:--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/mad-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='mad-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->

*wonders how much gel it would take to spike one's hair like that*
But yeah, if you're really intent on bleaching your hair, go for it. You gotta take risks sometimes.
And FYI, 15 and beginning to start growing a beard and moustache. Not necessarily thick, but they're visible.

Suffer the shavers.
I didn't start shaving until 21. Even then it was only a weekly occurance. Mmmm so smooth. The ladies love it <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->
I've decided to do it when I leave my current job.
The salon scared me silly, except for the bit where the stunningly attractive nineteen year old girl rubbed her fingers through my hair whilst leaning her chest over my face.
"Do you use conditioner?"
"YES!"

So, you big sauce-pot, what exactly did you get done? Cut-and-dry?
It's OK, I suppose, but I'll just need to get it cut again in three weeks!

Generally yes us people that bleach hair are vampires. I got mine dyed about 2 months ago and my dark roots are starting to come back, it looks pretty nice but did start off slightly ginger. I'd say bleaching is better, worked 100% of the time, only problem you gotta look at is long term affects . ie. hairloss.
