Ah, the hair color. Whether you do it for fun, necessity or to cover the grey: there is an age old struggle between the salon and at home.
I love going to the salon and there was a time that I had the most amazing, long, healthy, tri-color weaved hair of platinum blonde, gold blonde and brown. Oh! It was gorgeous. Perhaps a bit too Samson'ish? Because one time, when at the same salon, with the same stylist, it went anything but the same. It was awful.
It has taken two full years, of only using semi permanent color in a dark brown to mask the damage to get my hair back to healthy.
What the stylist did at the salon was so bad, that it broke the hair near the root. The rest of it had blown cuticle and burns all over it and felt like mush, or over cooked spaghetti that's been left in a dirty sink full of used dish water.
Finally, two months ago, I bobbed my hair short ( for the third time in my life..short hair, does that say anything to you!) and my son says I look like Dora the Explorer.
Unless I"m in humid weather and then I look like a cross between the Saturday Night Live character played by Gilda Radner " Roseanna Roseanna Danna" and Dora the Explorer.
If you color your hair at home and like a box, I prefer Feria by L'Oreal even though they don't make a good dark brown, they do make a good blonde and black. I've tried some Clairol brands and enjoyed them. But now, I prefer to venture into Sally's beauty supply and just pick up some Ion 3N, and mix with a 10 volume developer and let it sit a bit to cover the grey I deny I have.
