You're welcome and waiting until May is a good idea cause it'll give the color that you just put in it a chance to calm down a bit. And having it professionally colored is a good idea too because a good colorist will tell you more about what would look best on you too... I've never dyed my own hair because I'm afraid of the results, lol, so I always have my colorist(who does the coloring for the Joico print adds. Check them out at www.joico.com, all the pics she did the color for.) do my hair for me..Lol...So good luck and post the results...
