Its a lot of work to wash and dye my hair so I tend not to do it unless it really has the hairspray built up so badly that it starts to look imperfect.? So after about two weeks, its time to wash, condition, dry, dye, set.? I sound like a hair dresser huh?? Total time for all of it is about two hours.? I like being creative with my look and such, but doubt I would enjoy doing it for others.? I like being a photographer and being behind the camera most of the time 🙂
