BM - I am sure it will come out great! I have also started to do my own hair. This past year I have really cut out 90% of my discretionary spending, since things are bad. One of them was this. I have to say - I am getting good at it and it is a LOT cheaper.
BTW, a friend just recommended going to a beauty supply store to get the chemicals (they are the same they use at the salons), instead of buying the kits at the pharmacy. Cost is about the same. Who knew! I will definitely try it. My friend's hair always looks amazing. I would have never guessed she did it herself.
Glad you are having a better day!
