I color my hair myself every one to two months. Recently I have been experimenting with different brands of dark brown to black haircolor. Since I don't need lift only deposit I have been using mostly demi permanent dyes. One of my favorite brands for many years has been Herbal Essences. I recently used the demi permanent dye in shade darkest brown, my color turned out great and my hair was not damaged. About three weeks later I decided to use the included color refresher, a new to me product. I spread the refresher over my fading hair, I was concerned about the small amount and that the product had a redish hue. I left it on for the prescribed 10 minutes and when I passed the mirror to my shower I was releived to see a black brown paste on my head. After shampooing, conditioning and drying I was horified to see my hair is a brick red shade, totally not ok as my boss has a strict no ginger policy. I had to fix it and fast, I was working that night. I sent my husband to the grocery store with many emailed options for permanent black hair color, I didn't want to take anymore chances, the refresher not only did not refresh my color it completely stripped it. The grocery store had none of the brands on my list so my bewildered husband asked a sales clerk for help, she suggested Nice n Easy permanent coloring foam in black. Before this I had never used Nice and Easy or a foam format. I did like the foam park it makes coloring your hair less messy and much easier. Easy as it was, it was not nice. The smell was very offending even for hair dye and it left my hair quite dry and a solid fake looking black, so much for the promised tones and highlights. At least im finished with hair color drama this month, I may try another foam but it wont be Nice and Easy.
