Sure. Why not? I'll try nearly anything in the "unusual appearance" department - after all, how the hell are you supposed to be "unique" if you do the same shit as everyone else? I draw the line at using safety pins as earrings...how do you get them in without hurting yourself?

So I go in at 11 am with my very dark brown hair that's already fourteen different colors and sit through many hours of lifting the other colors out of it and putting this blue glop on my now-white hair.

We take the foils out of it and...uhh...Val...is this SUPPOSED to have come out black? I looked like Joan Jett, it was that black. She'd been coloring hair thirty years before that day and never had anyone's hair go that far out in left field before.

The only thing we could do with it was put a "punk rock chick" - her words, not mine - shaggy pixie cut into it. If you've got a look going, best to take it all the way. It did wind up looking really cool at the end of it all, but it sure wasn't what we were going for.
