Why Not Dye Your Hair Crazy Colors?

PINK, yes thats correct, I said PINK. Lets go back a few years. As a teen I always wanted to dye my hair. I wanted the edgy type look.  I am a very outgoing person, very loud, my laugh you can hear a mile away.  So on that note, I have strict parents where dying my hair was out of the question. So now years later, married and with a toddler, I finally decided to dye it a crazy color.
PINK
 I know it's crazy I'm 24 years old, married and with a kid.  I'm a stay at home mom, I no longer work at a government job and I really don't go out much unless its to Walmart or Target or something.  So, why not? 

My parents definitely don't like it. Everyone else was like "NOPE" and the hubby was like "it's ok, just different".  Oh boy, did I take things to far this time?
Well, no, it's these little things that make me happy. I STAY HOME ALL DAY.
So let me tell you about my experience on dyeing my hair PINK by myself.
First I know this is going to sound crazy.  I have tons of hair dresser friends.  I myself hope to go to a cosmetology school one day.  I know my way around "HAIR" pretty well.  
I have only bleached my hair on my one once before.  With help of a girl I used to know coaching me through the phone.  This time, brace yourself, I took advise from my nieces high school (FRESHMAN) friend.  I know trusting a kid with my hair.  When you think about it, now a days all these kids to crazy stuff with there hair and I did my research on him, saw all his pictures of his own hair he dyed.  
The only advise I took from him was which products to use.  Everything else I did on my own.  I mean its not that difficult, its just read the directions.  I think I backed out of this over the years about a 100 times because I was so nervous to do it my self.  I still have the purple color I got last year unopened.  Well yesterday as I was doing the mix of the bleach, I kept telling myself, "ok, you can do this" then telling myself, "what are you doing your going to make your hair fall out!!" and over and over and over.  Until I said "SCREW IT"! I don't work, so if it messes up I don't have to go anywhere.  
After putting the bleach in my hair and wrapped it in hair aluminum, all my nerves left. 
Now to wait.
Once it was time to take it off, I washed the bleach out and sure enough my hair was a light blond.  It felt a little, "rope ish", if that makes sense but I didn't put to much into it.  Then I opened the PINK. After seeing the color on my gloves I fell in love instantly.  It was the perfect brightness. Now I was excited.
After waiting for the color to take I washed it out and I was ecstatic.  It was so brights and pretty PINK.  But then when I started to comb through my hair, some of my ends where braking off.  Thats when my full on panic mode kicked in.  I though all that was dyed PINK was going to fall off.  I quickly started flat ironing my hair knowing there was a GREAT chance of my hair falling off, but as you can see it didn't, and I feel fabulous!! HA take that bleach.
