So.....if you follow me on Twitter, you know that I took the plunge and colored my hair! :D I used Silk Elements Permanent Hair Color in Honey Blonde. :o My own mother couldn't believe I used a permanent color in my hair, lol! She knows how I am about my hair. Since I'm relaxed, I pretty much stick to temporary & semi-permanent colors. Didn't want to risk all of my progress.
I just needed a change and I really, REALLY wanted to color. Moving along....I didn't really want this color, Honey Blonde per se. I wanted something a little darker like their Sante Fe Bronze color or the Cinnamon Brown. Oh and I really like the Sunrise Blonde. ;-) I've always read to go with the lighter color if you're considering coloring your hair. I'm just trying to get a Queen Latifah-ish color, lol. I don't recommend using permanent color on relaxed hair. It's just....I wanted this color SO BAD that I was willing to risk it. And to minimize damaging my whole head I only applied the color to the front section. I'd rather lose hair in the front of my head than the back!
Anyway...the color didn't come out as light as I wanted it too. That' my fault though. I didn't leave it in as long as I was supposed to. I was afraid of it getting too light. I mean...it's lighter outdoors, but not inside. I want it to be able to show up inside too. Here's a bootleg shot...with the top down. The color is actually lighter than this. #cameraphone
See.I was in my car with the top up.... : \
The quality of the photos are horrible. :-( I miss my camera! Hopefully, I will be getting a new one soon. While looking for some information about the Silk Elements Permanent Color, I stumbled across a post Tracy from Keep It Simple Sista did about it. She used the color on her hair and it looked really pretty! :-) She was absolutely right. My hair was so soft after rinsing the color out. :-)If you're a regular reader of HG, you know I love Silk Elements! I still want a lighter color though! : \ What do I do??? I'm thinking of doing something drastic.....
I'm just trying to get back to something like my old color.......*sigh*
