Q. I could go on for hours about all the havoc my hair's been through in the past year, about. December 2011. I dyed my hair red, then purple, then black, then red again but I looked like Ronald McDonald trying to grow out a goth phase. After re-dying black again, I've decided that maybe going blonde was cool! Wow, big mistake! Alright, burnt the SHIT out of my scalp, first off. Going from black to bleach was terrible. They had to stop the process before my hair fell out and it was an ugly-ass orange color for the longest time. The purple shampoo only did so much for my poor hair.
Roots grew in, so I got them redone. Oh, but it was surprising how my bleach blended with the roots. Well, my friend put bleach on my roots then combed it through once it was good enough, then we kept it for awhile. Once it was washed out, I used blue shampoo and it took out all the orange tint and looked marvelous. I'm serious, it looked amazing.
But my roots came back again, but it wasn't really a big deal because it wasn't too bad...until August of 2012. End of August, I was flipping out because my roots were like, a foot long (not really, my hair wasn't even at my shoulders at that time. It was about...1 1/2 inches long?) and my natural color is this DARK BROWN. So, I had another friend, who said she was good at bleaching and for me to trust her, to do it. Too bad that wasn't a smart idea. My roots were, once again, orange and my scalp was burning to a crisp until I finally washed it out because I couldn't take the pain much longer. She also threw in some blonde box dye for whatever reason and ohmygod why, it was so bad because it was burning my scalp even more. I wash it out and there was a blob of platinum, blob of orange, and not to mention the entire bottom layer of my hair being my natural because my friend forgot to do it. Alright, so I couldn't wear my hair up when I was outside in the boiling sun anymore.
Finally had enough of the terrible color and marched into the salon to get my hair filled back to my natural color, in October of 2012. Hm, too bad I chose too light of a brown. I forgot what my natural color WAS and some of it faded a bit. I've completely given up hope with my hair and just stuck to box dye. At least box dye fades, and my hair doesn't really let much color, if black, stay. I've only went jet black once. But I've dyed my hair black/blue and it just fades back to a blue/green in which I just changed to a black/purple.
But if you completely tl;dr this, at least skim a bit so you know the main idea. What I'm asking is, if I did the "Color Oops" treatment, would it go COMPLETELY back to the natural I've had before touching any dyes, bleaches, or fillers? People are saying yes, but I'm not quite sure. I need to check with someone first, considering I couldn't find any helpful forums.
Believe me, I'm able to pay any price at this state JUST so I can finally see my natural hair again, one day.
Also, I've killed the shit out of my hair during the bleach adventures. The only time it was soft was when the color was even and beautiful. After that, it got all dry again. Even after filling it, my hair randomly falls out and I think it's because of my scalp, but I'm not too sure.
A. I do not recommend hair stripping. You've got more chemicals on your hair than I have in a year!
Hair strippers are chemical treatments which are intended to strip out artificial color pigment with less risk or damage to the hair. The chemicals used are called reducing agents.
Certain 'metal' strippers containing sodium sulphoites are sold for reducing hair dyed with metallic dyes, as these dyes react violently with tint stripper containing hydrogen peroxide-the subsequent reaction may cause so much heat that the hair gets dissolved.

Style meets chemistry meets biology: We're talking hair coloring.
Playing with chemicals is not like playing with clothes, or doing a manicure, there are penalties for playing chemicals in the lab. Even hair color experts at the salon are not rocket scientists, they do a bang up dye jobs to their clients or their own hair.
Chemicals can enter the body through the skin.
Google: Teen 'feared she would die' after reaction to hair dye
The allergic reaction was caused by a well-known brand of semi-permanent hair dye Chloe used to turn her hair black for a Hallowe’en party. . . . . called for beauty bosses to ban hair dye chemical PPD (para-phenylenediamine) from the shelves. 11-04-11
The chemical is not new and is present in a number of brands of dark hair colours, acting to help adhere the dye to the hair so that it doesn't wash out. It’s made from coal tar and is used in both permanent and semi-permanent hair colours. It’s well-known to be a cause of serious allergic reactions -- including something called contact dermatitis which can lead to rashes, blisters, and open sores.
PPD is sometimes added to black henna tattoos and that using them is not safe. Allergic reactions usually begin within two to 10 days following application. One bad reaction can lead to sensitivities to other products such as hair dye, sunblock and some types of clothing dyes. Oftentimes, it's using the product a second or third time.
Google: A 38-year old mother left in a coma after using hair dye. SHE DYED HER HAIR MANY TIMES BEFORE, USING THE SAME BRAND. The British woman who went into coma after a reaction to hair dye has died after a year. Updated 11-25-12. The woman suffered a heart failure, struggled for breath and became unconsciousness. Her family blamed paraphenylenediamine, a chemical found in hair colour. Her family has now called for paraphenylenediamine to be banned from home dye kits. In 2000, a 38-year-old Indian-origin woman from Birmingham, Narinder Devi, died after an allergic reaction to hair dye.
Permanent black hair dye is linked to causing leukemia and lymphomas.

A WOMAN was temporarily blinded when her face swelled up "like a football" following what she told was a severe reaction to hair dye.
Carmen Rowe, 25, from Swansea was hospitalised for three days after using the Clairol 'Nice n' Easy' natural black colour. She said: "I lost my job, all for the sake of a glamorous hairstyle. I just want to warn parents what could happen." She claimed she carried out a skin test 48 hours before using the dye without a problem and has been colouring her hair since she was 13.

My dad is kicking my sister niece grandmother(his mother) and me out by June?
Q. I know I just recently made a question but things had change since yesterday. Sorry if this is long.
My sister just told me that my dad is going to pretty much kick everybody out of the house. Me, my sister and her 4 year old daughter and my grandmother (my fathers mother) My sister said that he wasnt mad when he told her but she did told me that he was serious this time. Its odd because I ran into my dad at the doctors he wasnt coming from his appointment and I was on my way to go to my appointment. He was all happy and said we shouldve rode together, and all that shit. Now Im hearing this, Im thinking that hes bipolar or something.
Anyways Im 21 turning 22 in March, Im gay Im out to my parents (came out in high school) they didnt accept it but now they just ignore it. My parents are jehovahs witness so I really didnt have much of a childhood. Not celebrating any holidays including your birthday, cant watch rated r movies, cant join the military, cant salute the flag, cant sing patriotic songs or holiday songs, cant sky dive or bunjee jump, cant participate or attend other churches or religions, cant be buddy buddy with non jehovahs witness (you can talk to non JW but cant be really best friends with them) Non JW are deemed "bad association" cant join school clubs or sports teams, cant attend prom and homecoming, cant be gay (even though being gay isnt a choice, you cant "practice" it according to them) no tattoos no piercings (only piercings are for women and just only on ears) Cant really have braids or an afro if youre a guy like me, clothing have to be modest, no drugs, cant smoke etc..
Im currently in community college to continue taking my general ed classes
I work as a cashier at a small grocery store, I get paid $9.50 an hour
I plan to move out of the state in 2014 mid year or at the end of that year! But not so much anymore I have to move out by June and I almost have $6,000 in my savings account.
My dream career is to be a Casting Director but I would like to work in Casting in the Film/TV industry. However, the problem is its hard to get into the entertainment field because its SO competitive, also you dont have a study income and that is very risky and terrifying.
I finally came up with a back up plan and that is to be a UltraSound Technician I like to focus for women who are pregnant, but I dont know if thats the environment for me its more than just seeing. So I dont know what to do for a back up career plan. Im not good at alot of things and I dont know what my talents are, Ive been cooped up in a shell for 21 years, I have NO idea what Im good at for skills or talents. I dont know where to start either. Plus having ADHD-Inattentive, a learning disability plus a mild mixed receptive/expressive language disorder isn't either.
I dont know where to stay I could go live with my other grandmother (maternal) in downtown Chicago, she isnt a jehovahs witness but she doesnt know that Im gay, so Im not sure. I do plan on in June to stay in my car for a little bit so I can save up every dime I can and then move somewhere. I guess I better start on learning about personal finances and taxes and stuff, and my car idk how to change a tire or jump start a car!
For other places I was talking to a guy on youtube for like 4 years now, he is living with roommates in Colorado. But idk if I should move there.
My uncle lives in LA but I dont think he has any room left in his place, plus I heard his wife is a nutcase.
I dont have any friends, I do have aquaintences but I dont want to impose them and their families, its just tacky to me, plus idk if I would feel comfortable either.
My life sucks and its not even 2013 yet this new year is going to be HELL for me!
PS: Hope everybody has a lucky year in 2013
So how can I find out what career I should get into?
After my general ed courses would it be better if I start out taking classes in acting and business for Casting?
I dont know what to do if I stay here in Atlanta I will have a job but no place to stay, if I move into my grandmothers place I wont have a job and it sucks looking for one not know what skills you are good at. Plus its exhausting thinking about if I do have to look for another job if I have to quit my current one.
@Alex ~ A Proclaimer of Truth: Thats right your are an Un Baptized publisher you are new be, a novice so you dont know what they hell you are talking about. Discredit? Thats the truth! Ive been raised and baptized (sadly). Ive been in the religion for 21 years now so I think I know a lot more than you do. How dare you come up here esp on a LGBT section calling my story a little drama episode as a chance to discredit the JW. I dont know you and you dont know me and you dont know what the hell been through so keep your comments to damn self!
A. Well despite this being so long I did read it all. I really can not tell you where to live, its a personal choice and one ONLY YOU can make. But write down all your options and order them from best place to worst place, then ask if you can stay there explaining your situation. You can leave your job and find another one, find something non- specialized and settle in to your new home and work. Make some more saving and keep looking and thinking about what you do in terms of a long term job. That is really all I can say.... get a roof over your head.... get another simple job.... look for a better and long term job... save up money... buy your own place.... live your life. Sounds simple but its going to need hard work, don't loose contact with anyone, you may need them and you should learn about tax and things but do that once you have a job and somewhere to stay.
Really sorry to hear about your situation and hope 2013 will be good for you, sounds like its going to be a big one for you, good luck and all the best ! (I don't usually say that to stranger but your story touched me)
