I think bleaching my hair in streaks was the decision I took longest to take, and I have screwed it up on occasion, but I've mostly had great comments. It's fascinating how non-natural colours are seeping into the mainstream, so if you want pink hair get some Directions or Manic Panic semipermanents and give it a whirl! The worst that can happen is that you'd need to wash it a lot to get it out...

One of the oddest things has been getting over my father's disapproval of my appearance. Accepting that he's never going to like it has been so freeing that I can face up to anyone else's opinion. My current rule of thumb is to plan a new mod every time he harrumphs at my appearance.
