The Anti-Bleaching Thread (Hair... Not Other Parts)

Wasn't sure where else to discuss this topic. I'm sure I'll cop typical internerd-style flaming if it's highly inappropriate.

Most SGs and members have style, and you're all pretty bad-ass when it comes to hair styling and colouring. Let's discuss that, specifically relating to bleaching.

I've got black hair right now, and I want to lighten some key parts of it for some peek-a-boo highlights. I really want to avoid bleaching if I can, my trainee hairdresser sister-in-law sort of killed my fringe (bangs for you fancy American folk) a few months ago, and I'd like to let my hair heal as much as possible before it touches the stuff again.

I've seen stuff like the MYHD Colour Remover around, and was wondering if any of you kids have come across it, or any other colour removers? And how successful have they been (keeping in mind my hair is pretty darn dark)?

Uff, I always go to a hair colorist to dye my hair, you should do that, specially if you want some highlights.
