If this is the same stuff I used when I was a teen I'd say DON'T USE IT (I know I'm yelling but for a good reason)!!! Dark & Lovely is way too harsh too use. If it's a permanent color it more than likely contains ammonia & peroxide. You will be left with some very chewed up looking hair if you don't double up on your conditioning treatments.
I know this from experience. When I was in high school I used D&L I think it was Honey Blonde or something like that. I knew nothing about haircare back then. That stuff messed up my hair something awful. When I went to the hair salon the guy doing my hair said D&L is just like bleaching your hair. He said, "It makes the hair look trashy". Well he knew what he was talking about. I would suggest using a semi-permanent hair color. I used Clairol's Textures & Tones a couple of months ago and it was very gentle on my hair. That's just my suggestion but there are many other brands that you can use.

Everyone I know who has used D&L hair color has complained of extremely dry hair. And the colors don't turn out as nice as the ones on the box. I'd stay away if I were you.

GET AWAY FROM THE D&L...that [** potty mouth **]
my hair. My hair was like at the best health ever but I was using black rinses, I was like hey my hair is strong let me just dye it black. I had used permanent dyes b4 but the ones tailored to white womenl like FERIA and such. So I reasoned D&L has black girls on the box they relax their hair just like me, so this should be healthier for me. Boy was I wrong, over time that pretty much melted my hair. My edges were horrible it look like i had an 180 baby bang. It was extremely too drying. That was my story listen to my aunts. She wanted a one streak in the front so she just put D&L on one section and that section just kept on breakin and breakin until it looked like a lil slick like that boy from the lil rascals. Try Herbal essences, open, or the such they had no damagin effects on me.

I used this brand in Roasted Chesnut, my hair came out exactly like the color on the box and I received no breakage from it. I think if you have a healthy regime already it won't destroy your hair.

girl you ain't never lied. I'd stay as far away from D&L as possible. Not even a 10 foot pole is far enough. That crap will *** your hair up. There are just so many other better choices out there.

Hmm maybe I shouldn't tempt fate, I'll start thinking about whether or not to throw away the honey blonde that I have.

I have to agree with the other posters. When I used it years ago it broke off my hair like crazy. It made my hair dry and brittle.
The brand that I have tried and like a lot is Kazoma (sp). I will have to check for the correct spelling, but it comes in a blue box. It doesn't have a running liquid forumla, but it is more like a cream if that makes sense.

Karonica..
It's a like a medium red brown. There's a very persistent patch of very dark brown/black in the front - which foiled my last coloring attempt. It's in my bang area though so a few trims and it'll be out. I'm going to try for some higlights in the early spring or summer.

A medium red brown sounds just like what I'm looking for only I would like to use it for highlights. What brand of color did you use?

I'm sure it'll be pretty. It sounds pretty as is though.
Can you recommend a black rinse that doesn't stick easily? I want to go black, but I don't want to be stuck with that color not washing out, as what happened to me when I used Rejuvatone.

SSC --> No brand of color. This it what my hair has faded down to since I went darker. I've been using a rinse to maintain a bland between the darker and lighter tones. I use Sebastian in Golden Walnut for that. As you are probably aware of by virtue of all your color research,
Sebastian won't give you highlights.
Karonica --> I find that the Adore colors wash out of my hair more quickly and throughly than any others I've tried without compromising the richness in tone. I wouldn't go black though. If you ever want to be light again I wouldn't risk it. I'd use a medium brown and then get like a 1B ponytail. It'll cover your color without removing the ability to go light. Don't forget - your light hair is porous and is going to grab any color a little more in spots than others (that's why I have this dark patch - it just HUNG ON to that black color I initially applied). Also considering using a filler (protein) when you cover the color so you cover it as evenly as possible. I realized after my "color covering" experience that this would have helped. That and not using black.
Adore makes a medium brown that should work well. You can always go progessively darker with rinses without damage - as you know so it's safer, to me, if you ever want to lighten up again. Good luck!
P.S. - the color is ok - it's just ain't "sayin' nuthin'" - feel me?

For years I used the Golden Bronze color and I got alot of compliments. I was also using Optimum lye relaxer...(surprised I didn't go bald). When I started getting my hair done at the dominican salon I was told that using both products was causing my hair to break off. I was also told if I still wanted to put color in my hair to use a rinse or semi-perm color and change my relaxer. I now use the affirm sensitive scalp relaxer and gentle treatment semi-perm in caramelized cocoa. My hair is in much better condition now with a medium brown color. I said all of that to say don't use it.

Definitely go with T&T.

Unfortunatly I don't have a lot of choice here(Belgium)
The only ones they have are from D&L and I believe they have some from gentle treatment to but I did'nt like the colors
Before they used to have Motions color return and I was willing to try that but they don't have it anymore
Are there any semi-permanent brands for "white" people that have worked for you?

I used to use D&L Honey Blonde-- it never broke my hair or made it look nasty. I even had to apply it more than once to get the right color. I used it for touch up's also. It's all about maintaining your hair. If it was a horrible product that was tearing up the majority of the user's hair-- it wouldn't be on the market. I used it about 8 years ago & I used it for about 2 years. If you look at my "pictures from the past" on my link, you will see a picture of me with blonde hair. This is the D&L Honey Blonde hair color. pw: goingnatural
