![]() ![]() On my next visit to Walgreens, which was last Friday, I thought “hmm, let me try something BRIGHTER, more RED than copper. So at $9.99 a box times 2 boxes, this wasn’t going to be much more cost effective than going to a salon. I was in brown in about a week and a half. The next time I picked up a box color, I decided to try another brand, but in the same color family of copper. It did fade to a pretty color but I really missed the bright glow of it. Here is the day of the dye and then 4 weeks after. It was super bright, but again, all good things come to an end and the artificial color eventually faded. But after 3 months of paying $120 to a salon every 4 weeks to keep up with my red, I did something I haven’t done in 10 years- I picked up a box of artificial dye.įirst I used Feria Red Copper INTENSE. Hate your red? No problem, your red hates your red and it will go if you have the patience. Red washes out in weeks, sometimes even days after you put it in your hair. Highlighting from home is basically like lighting your checkbook (do people have checkbooks anymore? I’m showing my age.) on fire because of all the corrections you are likely gonna have to do when it goes horribly wrong.īut red- ok now red is a different story. I do a lot of highlights and that requires a hair person. ![]() Now usually I go to the salon to cover any gray hair and touch up my natural hair. I love that every time I walk by my big blown up images I see my strategically placed bobby pin where my hair was gone.Īnd with all this knowledge about hair color and artificial pigment, I can tell you two definite things: Never, EVER do bleach over the counter and Red is actually pretty ok to do from a box. Or the time, about 2 years ago, I let a cruise boat do my highlights and she bleached over my bleach (instead of my roots) and my hair fell out in fried off chunks- the night before our family photos. I had to chop off ALL my hair for that one but they did send me a years worth of Wella for my pain and suffering. Or the time I went to a salon and she turned me orange and then overcorrected it to ash, which translates loosely to “greenish gray”. In a hurry? Skip my story and Go HERE to grab OOPS Color Remover Like the time I dyed it “Herbal Essence Raspberry” and it ended up hot pink, which I, in my 16-year-old wisdom, decided would just go back blonde if I dyed it blonde over the top. So I have been dying my hair for oh, about 23 years, and along the way a LOT of accidents have happened. Does Color OOPS work? My experience with OOPS hair color remover and how I took my hair in 20 minutes from this colour to that hair colour. ![]()
