Great advice from everyone (but Kevy of course, heh heh). I hadn't considered her using a rinse as well.

We are talking about yellow-ish hair.... more yellow than any other color. She had ashy blonde orginally. It would nice to go with something less yellow and more brown tones in it.

It actually looks better today then it did the other day - but there is no depth at all like "normal" hair has with strands being different colors as you work you way down to the scalp.

Do we need to wait the 6-8 weeks before trying a semi-permanant or can we try that this weekend?

I'm thinking that when we do it, we try for a gradual darkening bit as time goes by for less suprising results... any merit to that?

On a better note, she's at least using a conditioner every day now (teenagers sometimes do the minimum washing required and that's it) and also an after shower moisterizer/shiny maker product that's making her hair nice and soft.
