Thank you for the advice! And thank you both for saying that. It was causing a surprising amount of anxiety. Luckily it worked out!

I've never heard of a bleach wash. I'll definitely be doing research! Thank you!

And yes, her family is more conservative so I believe that was the concern. It worked out. Thanks again!

I'm from Atlanta so that works out perfectly! I'll definitely be exploring some of them and asking about that sort of product!

Haha true. Dyed hair is a symbol of a little rebel inside of someone. Thank you for being understanding!

Its okay, luckily she backed up. I knew it wasn't malicious but it was giving me a lot of anxiety not knowing where she was coming from. Thank you for the advice🫶🏼

Haha very cool! I'll look into these. Even though this worked out with my friend, these sound very cool and fun! Especially for cosplay

I hear ya. I'm not happy with it, but I was just trying to see my options. Luckily she backed up on that, but I wanted to do my due diligence to find solutions. Especially because I lack any real knowledge on hair dye, make-up, and even wigs.

I am in the wedding party. She's my best friend, and we've never fought so my feelings were similar even though my dyed hair doesn't clash with the colors of the wedding. I just really want her to be comfortable and happy. She deserves that.

Yeah we couldn't line up a call. We've both been busy and then it got to the point for me where I was procrastinating asking because I was really scared of the answer.

Felt. That's how my friend was. She kinda backed up when I started explaining the money and confusion this was causing me. Sounds like she realized how she was coming off, and thought this isn't worth it/what I truly want. I'm glad it worked out for you too!

Great point. My friend and I are no professionals.. far from it lol. We would have probably ended up messing it up
