Cool tutorial. I have dark hair with purple streaks in my bangs & at the roots (I have premature gray hair *tear*), so luckily for me, the bleach didnt damage my hair. What I do use for the upkeep is toner. My hairdresser does that for me every few weeks, and she gave me a bottle to take home (which saves me around $20 american dollars every few weeks too
). I have never seen the brands that you mentioned in America though. i've known people to use Manic Panic if they can't afford to get it done professionally. But I'll definetly check out that flat iron. I know they sell that Sephora. Thanks again!
