I started with a color called “medium amber brown”. I remember thinking that this dark, rich color would make my eye pop. It certainly did! But it also made my scalp burn and my eyes water.
I did it because I liked the way it made me look and feel. For someone who had low self-confidence, any little thing to boost how I felt about myself seemed worth it at the time.
I used Color Oops because I figured having an unnatural blorange color would be easier than an unnatural brunette color. I powered through it and the end result was worth it.
The first color I added was pink. This temporary color (One and Only Argan Oil Perfect Intensity) was supposed to only last 6-8 shampoos. (For me, it lasted much longer).
Then the sudden urge to try BLUE hit me, and so I did! This was the worst mistake I could have made. For some reason, the blue held tight to my hair and no matter what I did the color would not fade.
I cannot recall any negative comments during my transitional time. In fact, most of the people who commented were colleagues who were very happy I was letting my silvers shine through!
