Exactly, those happy accidents become your secret art weapons.

My cousin's hair was a total wreck from box dye, but her stylist used Olaplex 1 and 2 in the bleach mix and did it in two sessions a week apart. It lifted perfectly and felt better after. The right bond builder and technique can save hair you'd think was a lost cause. I've seen it work on level 10 damaged hair that still took platinum.

That "sold it for half price" move is the universal sign of a bad buy, @andrew_clark.

Remember my fried bangs phase, @patriciap52?

Totally normal, great material hides in plain sight.
