I like Loreal Feria and Softsheen Carson Hi-Rez
2. do you use permanant or semi permanant?
Permanant.....Clariol Natural Intincts is demi perm and its good too
3. natural or relaxed?
Relaxed
4. what color did you go naturally from and to (black to blond, brown to red etc)

5. 4-ish or 3-ish?

6. how often do you get it done?
I plan on retouching the color every 3-4 months. I do semi permanent rinses on a regular basis inbetween to refresh color and keep the cuticle intact
7. what do you use to stay moisturized?

Deep conditioning on a regular basis with paul michell supercharged, kenra.....using joico kpak for strength

ok thanks a bunch ladies!

My responses in pink........Also, using milder shampoos help retain color. Also watch your protein, you might need more than you think. I am going through that now. My hair isn't breaking but it does need more protein than usual. My color is still nice though, I have toned it a bit with some brown in the last 3 weeks.
