My hair is a very dark brown almost black color. I have wanted color since I stopped dying my processed hair midnight blue by Dark and Lovely. I read so many blogs, articles, youtube, etc… about how your hair breaks off, it will loosen your natural curl pattern, it dries your hair, and so on. I still wanted to do it, so many people natural and processed have color and it looks pretty healthy, why couldn’t I? Well, big mistake! I researched do it yourself brands and tried to pick the one with the least amount of bad reviews. I tried Clairol Textures and Tones in Red Hot Red 4R www.clairol.com. It was red hot for about 1 week, until my next wash. Then it became bland burnt orange, not exactly what I spent my hard earned cash on, all of 4.99J Second mistake, I let my sister apply it, why? I purchased two boxes and she still didn’t cover my whole head. Her excuse, “it was dark in your house, I couldn’t see”.

| Smoothing technique, also burnt orange color after 1 week |
Moving on, instantly I could feel a difference in my hair; it felt really rough when I washed it. When I applied my styling products it would not curl, it just stayed fuzzy and rough. So I tried to apply more product, yeah, that’s the only logical answer. I ended up smoothing my hair with my two hands like a flat iron from root to tip, just to get a smooth hair shaft. It looked like the attached picture for 3 days and then it began to swell and became fuzzy again. I am not sure if getting my hair professionally colored would have changed my fuzzy results, I would think their chemicals are much harsher. Needless to say I have to wait for all of this fuzzy colored hair to grow out; by then I will be itching for more color, it is really a sick cycle.
