Thanks for the advice :) I may try it, with some oil in it, my hair
is dry, I don't use chemicals in it, just shampoo, conditioner...
It's fairly thick already, but if the highlights look good, would be
really cool. and of course, for someday when I start going grey,
I've never seen red hair with grey in it, would probably look odd...
thanks! :)
