I've seriously been considering going darker with my hair color. I do love it blonde but the blonding process can be tough on my hair and causes me extra work to keep it healthy. Other color products aren't quite as difficult on my hair and don't create as much damage. I have other considerations that are makeing the decision really tough:
1) The crown of my head is almost entirely gray, so if my hair is a darker color the new growth is very obvious and causes me to have to touch up often.
2) I really do like being blonde. When my gray hair is growing out it is not very noticeable and I can go longer between root touch ups. But I do have to pay extra attention when styling the back to disguise the dark roots.
3) As stated before, the blonding process is tougher on my hair than other color processes and is causing a great deal of breakage that is keeping my hair from getting any real lenghth to it, which I'd really like it to be longer. I am trying some new hair care products that may help with this and make it possible for me to keep the blonde without all the damage.
I just can't decide. I've been trying to make this decision for about 8 weeks now and I'm stuck. Last night I tried a new color that was called "Honey Blonde" and was supposed to be much gentler than other blonding colors. Well, it did absolutely nothing to my hair. I was so disappointed. I had really high hopes that this product would solve my problem by letting me keep my blonde without all the damage. Nope, nadda, nothing, zilch! I'm back to square one and I don't know what to do. Can you girls help me decide. I've posted some pictures below of the colors I'm considering and a poll for you all to vote. Comments are also welcome.
