When I hit waist I stop
RIG I suggest you stay away from the perm dye unless you want to spend your life moisturizing it. I hate the fact that I dyed my hair even though it was awhile ago I'm still lamenting it b/c my ends have the color and if I don't stay on top of the moisturizing they start to break

I'se scared to dye or color it! 
Some people have used Aveda, Robert Craig, henna, Bigen, and some Dark and Lovely color (can't remember brand) with good results.
My mother is loc'd and she uses Bigen (on my recommendation). She moisturizes her hair with a moisture spritz every day. Seems to work for her, but she's not that dilligent about taking care of her hair.

Have you considered using henna and indigo? Not only will you be able to get the color you want, but you'll also condition your hair.

I do. I will not do a permanent dye, but I will rinse it in a minute! I have dark dusty brown hair naturally that tends to look dull, so I like to take my hair black. I use Adore Extra Conditioning Semi-Permanent Rinse (I use Velvet Black). I like Semi-Permanent because it is gentle and non-damaging. Also, it is not really permanent, it just lasts longer than a normal rinse. It lasts anywhere from a month and 1/2 to 3 months. This is how it looks.
Happy Hair Rinsing

A lot of naturals have used Clairol Textures and Tones with good results.

I leaves my hair really soft and shiny, and it takes very well if you follow the directions. It is my favorite. I hear Sebastian's Colour Shines is good on the pricier end, but I have not tried it yet (trying not to spend so much on hair products). But for a cheap product($3-$4), it works exceptionally well. I really love my results. Here is a picture of my natural hair roller set and flat ironed after using it (I think I posted this pic somewhere else... oh well)
Happy Hair Rinsing

You are very welcome!

I got mine from a normal beauty supply (in the 'hood'). It is tricky though, because I am used to seeing the Adore in the white bottle more often (I HATE that one!). I see this one a little less, but most normal beauty supply stores will have it, and maybe even Sally. If you can't find it, I am sure you could probably order it online from somewhere

Okay thanks, I know for a fact that my BSS has the white bottle, but I am gonna scrummage around for this blue bottle. Thanks so much!

Song byrd, have you experienced any drying or other slightly adverse effects from using this dye? How often do you use it?
I love the color so much, is it blue when you're under the sun?
I dye my hair using Natural Instincts by Clairol. It is a level 2 color and last 28 shampoos. Rinse didn't work for me because I have some grey to cover and it would wash out too fast. I have had very good results with Natural Intincts--it has a good conditioner in the kit too. I do believe with any coloring products you have to compensate for extra dryness -so I deep condition it often. I also use the ph balance conditioner by Roux right before coloring to keep my hair in good shape. I use the Egyptian Plum color.

:scratchch Actually, I haven't. It says it is an extra conditioning formula, and they are telling the truth. It doesn't dry my hair at all. I try not to rinse my hair any more than once every three months. It usually lasts at least 2. I am not sure if it is blue under the sun - I never really paid attention. It is extremely shiny though
I would look for you, but my hair is braided right now. By the way, I used Velvet Black because my skin is really warm and reddish, so I didn't want to make it too cold of a black. They do have a shade darker though, Jet Black, and that one may be more bluish. You would have to look and see which shade is closer to what you're looking for.LocksOfLuV said:
hey Locks, I haven't gone to the BSS yet but I did find it online. It's really cheap.

I've used a permanent colour twice. First when i BCed (a browny colour) and then again when it started looking pooey to get it jet black, they were both fructis colours in the green box from the chemist/drugstore. My hair's not dry at all and it's not suffering any adverse effects. I didn't leave the dye on very long tho, only about 20 minutes. I tried rinses but they never took to my hair, relaxed or natural. I got the indigo elasta qp colour that I put on OVER the lightened browny colour I had and I rinsed it out after processing but it was still the same 
I guess it depends what you do with your hair daily after you colour it. I don't use heat because it makes my hair feel brittle, I moisturise in the mornings with elasta recovery and castor oil, wash sunday and co-wash tuesday/wednesday and that's it. It's pretty simple and moisture-full so maybe that's why.
Anyway, get colouring and post us results, u know we like pictures hehe
