Everyone works differently. Some people love using enemas, but I'm not a fan of them.
tbh I never bothered with the extra stuff or "the diet" (except for water). Nothing actually came out of me that's unpleasant. And you usually can tell if you need to poo or you may need to poop soon.
It's kind of like a victory curl, except I have the sides of my head buzzed really short. My hair isn't platinum, at the moment, but it was during the summer. I darken is for the Fall and Winter.
