alias_sqbrI have a bunch of questions I can't figure out the answers to, mostly I can find general guides online but need local people to help answer them with specific answers for Perth/Australia. But general advice would be helpful too.
1) What EXACTLY should I buy, and from where, to bleach a streak in my hair? I intend to add colour but want to take it one step at a time. I may try getting it done at the hairdresser's the first time (I've had highlights before but not a single vibrant streak) but want to be able to do my hair myself long term.
Here's the sort of stuff I seem to need to buy (I also asked some people on discord and they gave similar advice): Bleach powder, Crème developer, Red Gold Corrector, "Purple shampoo," tint brush
But where is a good place to buy online in Australia? What size should I buy of each? I look at a site like this and go ahhhh so many things to choose.
2) I wish to pay someone to deliver mulch to my garden and spread it out. Is that a thing? I feel like it should be, but all I can find is people who deliver it in a big pile, and general gardeners. Gardeners might offer this service? But hiring gardeners and having them actually show up has been chancy even just for weeding, let alone when having to organise buying and transporting stuff. It's a single garden bed, like... 1mx3m, maybe. (I suck at estimating sizes)
3) There are gaps in our kitchen grouting, a few centimetres behind the sink, through which ants keep coming in. I want to use some sort of gap filler, would I need a caulking gun?
I am quite sure my parents would take care of 2 and 3 for me if I asked but they also...are the ones who gave me so much neurosis about asking anyone for favours, so.

Don't risk injury for other people! Especially me! I would feel much worse than I do about my garden not having mulch! (I may be overestimating how much it would be bad for you, but also I would rather you spend any time you're able to be here hanging out with me, not doing manual labour)
But if I need a caulking gun I will definitely borrow yours, thank you.
Thanks for checking in. People offering to do things for me doesn't usually make me uncomfortable, as long as I feel like they're sincere and ok with me saying no, and I feel sure I didn't pressure them into it. And we're good <3
