ok, so the gray was taking over! i decided to put a semi permanent color, clairol natural instincts in rosewood. the darker color just enhanced every single flaw i have! my skin looks dull and i can see every line, wrinkle and age spot. i never thought i'd say it but i looked better to myself with the gray hair! on a positive note the dye did make my hair fuller and softer. i love the feel of it, even though i don't care for the look. maybe i should just change my makeup? i'm so confused! i'll work on posing some pics.

 
One thing about changing your hair color is that you have to change everything!! Your wardrobe, makeup the whole works!! Most blondes have to accentuate their features more as oppose to brunettes so as not to completely look washed out. Blondes usually wear lighter colors than brunettes as well in terms of shade colors. Its not a written rule but i have heard about it in some of my mags. Look up famous celebrites who constantly change their haircolor and look at their makeup (ex. Lindsay Lohan who can literally change her color to anything and still look good as much as i don't like her lol, Jessica Simpson, Scarlette Johansson, The Olsen twins and Paris and Nicky Hilton)

 
great advice ag10v! i never really thought about that. thanks goodness i'm a makeup junkie. i have several shades i can try without having to spend any more dough! i haven't colored in over a year and i've used the same color forever. i've always loved the result. i think that's why i'm so bummed. this is the first time i haven't been happy. maybe it will grow on me...

 
I could be wrong but this hair dye only lasts about a month. I remember trying it a few years ago.

It coloured my grey and gave my hair a richer colour. But the dark regrowth hadn't changed colour so I had a reverse skunk look.

If this is true for you Monnie, your original colour may come back shortly.

you're right, carolyn. it is temporary and my brown hair is richer, but i my gray hair turned reddish. i think it lasts 28 washes. probably less for me because gray doesn't stay covered long with rinses. i was hoping to be able to do this every month or so. now i'm not so sure i want to.
