Cheryl, the problem with bleach though, is that can damage the hair if not bleaching virgin hair, if you are bleaching hair that has been over dyed, it can make you lose most your hair! I know a girl that does hair in the same salon as my aunt, I was about to do black streaks through my hair when it was bleached blonde, she advised against it because...she dyed her naturally medium brown hair black, after a few months, she decided she didn't like it, so she bleached her hair to try to get it out, she ended up damaging her hair so bad it broke off! Her hair was mid back, she had to cut it to her ears, it was THAT damaged. And she only uses goldwell products, the dyes and hair care products. And she didn't leave the bleach in too long or anything. It's just bleach is a risky thing in general. Just something to keep in mind. And I don't know that "professional" salon products are always better. When I was in my mid teens, my hair was at it's healthiest and thickest. And I was using pantene hair products, but when I decided to dye my hair, I changed to salon products, and ever since my hair has been thinning, now that I'm back to pantene it's thickening back up. So I think it depends on what you buy and your hair. All this is just my opinion, I never went to cosmetology school or anything just going on my own experience with my own hair and from watching my aunt who does hair and such.
