(21,020 posts)I used that stuff too!
Then at 15 or so I started using the real bleaching kits. I forget the names but I'm sure they were made by Clairol. Each blonde shade was associated with a Nordic country like Sweden or Finland, etc. Midnight Sun? I forget...
I can sure empathize with you over the poodle head thing. Back in the 80s (and before) I was frosting my hair instead of doing the whole blonde thing. I had done a frost, then a week later asked a friend to give me a "body perm" since my hair was/is thin and babyfine.
Ahem.
Like you...poodle head. I made boyfriend go out and get me a straightening kit.
Like your hair, mine was ruined...although not at badly as the time I dyed it black and then decided to do it blonde with a two-step blonding kit.
The stylist had to cut my hair within two inches of its very life.
My hair and I have had a dysfunctional relationship for a very long time...
