Yes! I loved my pink bits! The bleach/peroxide thing really dried
out those chunks of hair, which felt yuckky next to all my sleek
henna goodness, so I went on a weekly henna binge for a month to get
them healthy again. You can still see they are lighter than the rest
of my hair, but dark enough that Manic Panic won't show, too dark.
I plan on doing the bleach highlights again, this time only small
strands throughout, maybe with a highlighting cap this time, so I
won't have big chunks of hay-like hair, just little strands of it.

off
