So I got bored enough tonight to dye my hair with the Clairol Natural Instincts in Rosewood which according to the box is a dark auburn brown. My first fear was that it wouldn't take because of my past experience in temporary color where my hair wouldn't take anything but permanent so I decided to leave the color on for 15 minutes instead of 10 like the instructions said to. My second fear was that the color when mixed is a deep purple. I was like "I hope that my hair doesn't come out purple. If it does, can I die?" LOL I washed the color out and followed with Aussie 3 Minute Miracle (a freakin' godsend reconstructor) and left that on for about 5 minutes with a cap while I washed the rest of me. I followed it with the enclosed aloe vera conditioner from the dye and then used a bit of the St. Ives Vanilla and Edelweiss conditioner mixed with water for scent. My hair is so soft and good smelling that I was actually able to comb without those horrible tangles. I did lose a bit of hair during the rinse out and while rubbing the dye through but nothing to die over.
I'd like to thank Jade21, sassygirl and Tracy for reccomending the wonderful conditioners plus the Hi-Pro-Pac which I used last night. I'm very happy with the non-purple color. It's a dark brown shade which is reddish in the light but since it's in a wet wrap (and strangely slightly puffy) now I'll wait until it's dry to really judge it.
