once again, MOTHERS!!!yep and then you mother SCREWS up and gets permanent color the summer before your senior year. Which is why my HS Grad pics were taken in the dead of winter. AND I still had a black tinge to my hair. IT ws done for the summer theater production of the King and I. She got "tired" of the rinses. 3 of the 4 of us kids were in it. I was the first for the coloring and as she's working the dye in she comments "gee it's turning your scalp purple. The other 2 siblings managed to escape being black heads for MONTHS.
