Blue banned?? Wierd. Mine turned out this shiny turquoise color. And it bled blue on EVERYTHING. Every time I showered it looked like I'd been in there murdering smurfs. I outgrew it very quickly and in desperation dyed it bright copper penny red so that the colors would mix to make brown. (it worked beautifully) Then spent an entire year conditioning and trying to repair what the bleach had damaged. Ended up having to cut off six inches. *sniffles* It's forgiven me now though, and has once again reached halfway down my back. Why would they ban blue? That's just odd. That's going to bother me now. Going to have to google it.
