My GF bleaches my hair for me, she uses a weaker mixture of bleach than hairdressers usually do, so it doesn't do as much damage. Bleach is still gunna wreck havok on your hair, so it'll never be as nice as it was before, but sometimes sacrifices must be made in the name of awesomness, right?
I work in Marketing and Game Design, so having wicked-crazy hair is actually considered fairly normal in my workplace, so there ya go, become a Game Designer
