^ Yup! For any color to penetrate thru u're hair it needs to be stripped of color (melanin) and that sumtimes is perm damage..(hair can go white!) But that's the only way u'd get the perfect swatch color! Dye u're hair a nice roasted mocha, auburn that'll look pretty! Highlights and lowlights aren't really in fashion right now.. (they'll never go out of fashion in Pak though)
