i agree with holdensolo. if you're out of high school, then going to a salon is the only way because there's no cred to care about earning by doing it yourself. that way, you can be sure the bleaching, if necessary, is done evenly and properly without over-frying your hair, thereby making the color come out nicer and staying longer.

now, as far as color goes, it really depends on how serious you are, and the color of your eyes. blue washes out in about a week to a nice dish-water grey color, so unless you're into doing lots of touch-ups, i wouldn't recommend it. green is good, particularly if you are lucky enough to be blessed with brown eyes and particularly if it's a nice dark forest or hunter's green. bright lime green tends to make everyone look pukey, for obvious reasons. purple is always a winner (and was always my favorite) especially if you have green eyes--purpler hair makes green eyes go pow! bright red is of course fiery and sexy, and works well with every eye color. the only downside to red is that it's the biggest commitment. i think the only way to get that stuff out of your hair short of cutting all your hair off (always a cute option) is by going with black hair because bleaching it again will just make it go a nice clown shade of orange, unless you bleach it so much all your hair breaks off anyway. so, if you get sick of the red, you'll be committed to black hair for awhile.

it's a crapshoot, really. a fun crapshoot, but a crapshoot all the same.

still, it's always great to play around with your hair, so i would totally recommend doing it, crapshoot or no.
