I so badly want to put some colour in my hair but I am getting confused.
I like the Cairol range, particularly becasue their website it explains very well the 3 levels of hair dye and the amount of damage.
I am clear on this:
Level 1 is Semi permanent - not damaging at all, no Amonia no Peroxide, lasts 6-8 washes.(examples: Beautiful Collection & Loving Care)
Level 2 is Demi permnanent - some damage but not as much as permanent, lasts 24 - 28 washes. No Amonia low Perxoide (examples: Natural Instincs & Lasting Colour)
Level 3 is Permanent - very damaging. No Amonia and High Peroxide, Lasts until hair grows out (example Textures and Tones???)
I have read the reviews you guys have put on LHCF and it seems that Natual Instincts is a good choice for relaxed hair for good colour that shows up on black hair with little damage.
However.......... I live in London and we cannot buy the Natural Instincts over here
(so typical!!). I am trying to find the equivalent and I think it is Lasting Colour which is also level 2.
Am I correct in thinking that Lasting Colour is exactly the same as Natural Instincts or is it slightly more damaging even though it also level 2?? I am getting confused because I rang the Clairol helpline and she was telling me that the equivalent to Natural Instincts is Loving Care but Loving Care is Level 1?? I think she got it wrong??
I am confused so I thought I would hear it from people who have actualy used it, so if you have relaxed hair and tried Lasting Colour with no damage please let me know!!
I AM SO SCARED I DO NOT WANT TO RUIN MY HARD WORK ON MY HAIR!!
Any help appreciated.
Thanks.
