(It’s printed right on the front of the bottle. My first thought:ĭoes this product have gluten? Am I going to be standing there in a shower for 35 minutes as some well-meaning, “conditioning”, wheat-germ oil encased, ejected dye molecules stream all over my lips and face? I had just discovered that my haircolor developer (Sally Ion) was proudly enriched with wheat protein. If this step is skimped on, the color molecules will revert back to their original, unshrunken size and your unwanted darker color will “reappear”. But there was a catch: for it to work, I would be standing in the shower rinsing my hair for a total of 3 shampoos and 35 minutes solid. This sounded great! And maybe just a little too good to be true. And because there is no bleach, there would be no damage. It will shrink all artificial dye molecules into tiny little spheres that will slip out of your hair as you rinse it, leaving your color at the lightest point that you had it colored to. My thick, shoulder-length hair needed two boxes. I saw a product called Color Oops, which says that in 20 minutes saturated on your hair, You have to have Color Oops this saturated, which means that unless you have very short hair, you will need more than one box.
But now I was getting icky grey roots that needed covering, and I knew that I better get back to my prefered base color but quick. I was loathe to go back in and get it stripped out with bleach, as I was afraid of causing more damage since the color change had only been a few weeks ago. Now, I come from a family of gorgeous dark brunette sisters, so dark hair with a few highlights should be a no-brainier. In the sun it was quite dark red, and the highlights were a coppery gold. This is the darkened color in normal light. The dark hair with ash and reddish-coppery highlights that had replaced my completely co-opted JLo warm “bronde” locks were not working out. What if the answer is….none of the above? Unless really dark hair is what you were going for). Or do you try to cover it up with another dye? (Hint: No. Do you spend the big bucks at a salon getting it corrected? What if their idea of corrected is not your idea of corrected? Ohhhhh. Or maybe you were playing with box color from a drugstore.Įither way, the prospect of getting rid of an unwanted haircolor can be downright intimidating. (A description mishap with a new stylist put me in this category). What seemed like a great idea in your head may not be how your colorist interpreted your enthused description of “exactly” what you were envisioning. Sometimes, well-intentioned hair color ideas can be more hare-brained than hair-savvy, and you’re left with a color that’s at best not what you were thinking at worst a tragic mistake.
