MY THOUGHTS: Up until recently, I've never dyed my hair. Naturally, it's an extremely dark dark brown color but I felt like making it a little bit lighter. Revlon colorsilk had good reviews on makeupalley and only cost around $3 or $4 in most stores. It was easy to use and I'm pretty pleased with the results.
Since my hair is so dark, I used light ash brown to achieve a dark brown color. If you have dark hair and you're looking for a drastic change, box dye by itself might not be enough. This was good for the subtle change that I was looking for. My roots ended up a little lighter than the rest of my hair though.
After dying my hair, I didn't notice too much damage but it does feel a little bit dryer. The conditioner it comes with is AMAZING by the way. It made my hair feel incredibly soft and if they sold it on its own, I would buy it in a heartbeat.
Comes with 2 gloves, conditioner, developer, & colorant
Before: My natural hair color was really dark brown, almost black.
After: Still pretty dark, but definitely a little lighter.
It really only looks this brown in really bright lighting.
Wow, no matter what I try, I absolutely cannot lighten my hair! Like you before, they are dark brown, almost black.
ReplyDeleteGaby: Hm I know what you mean. Although the brown shows up in flash photos and bright lights my hair still looks very dark in person. That's kind of what I wanted though, something subtle. Maybe you can go to the salon to get the results you're looking for? :)
ReplyDeletea beautiful shiny brown !
ReplyDeletemaybe when u dye your hair use a stronger developer...revlon give a 20% developer in the box...go for a 40%..u can get it in any beauty supply shop..the higher the percentage the more it lifts up the color..hope it helped :)
