New Color Showers...?!

Umm, yea so after getting home and sitting in the window like a lonely puppy waiting for FedEx to drop my package, I get it, rip it open and look at the Color Showers bottle. No biggie, I noticed already the bottles had changed. I'm reading, the ingredients are different. Doesn't say anything about Olive Oil like the original. I'm still like eh, no biggie. I open my beloved COBRE and WTF do I find? I see exactly what Filthy Fresh was talking about; the ish looks olive green. When I stick my finger in it, it's gold. I shake, shake, shake, still effin green bull ish, no hint of red anywhere in sight. I'm so pissed right now I can't even see straight. They changed the damn formulation and I'm not liking what I see. I don't know if it's this particular distributor or what, but the last jar of once en uno I had came from the same people and I SWEAR it's different. I put some CS in a glass bowl and stirred w/a stick. This ish is actually separating, hmmm lemme see, could it be the damn silicone that they so proudly mention on the bottle? Of course the place I bought it from closes at five, so I had to come here and express my disdain, disgust and every other dis word for this new formula. I'm not putting it in my hair, you can hang that ish up right effin now. I have one of my old bottles and the color when you open it is obviously auburn, and it's of a thinner consistency. I don't know what this other bull ish is. I'm wondering if they have these damn bottles labeled wrong, this CAN'T be Cobre. I'm seriously ready to fight this bottle like a B on the street. If this is the new stuff, I can't even support it and will be removing it from my staple list. Not that it means anything, but I can't endorse this; it's not what I fell in love with :nono:.

PISSED..................................:angry2::swearing: :heated:

Lol you are so serious. Don't beat the bottle up. Ohh I'm glad the Fed Ex guy wasn't there when you openned it up. If the formula has changed what will you use now?
 
Re: New Color Showers...WTF?!

Sad. I hear this all the time, companies switching formulas without warning or notice. It's a darn shame.

I don't understand why they change stuff that people love as it is and then say it's improved when it's actually junk. E maybe you can do a strain test and see if the color works.
 
Re: New Color Showers...WTF?!

I thought it was just me.......I got a new bottle from Roundbrush and noticed that the bottle looked different, didn't think much about it until I read the ingredients and noticed that ish done changed. What are you gonna do now?
 
Re: New Color Showers...WTF?!

Oh man, that sux. Eisani you had me all wanting to try Color Showers. They need to take that junk back. I don't roll with formula changes. :nono:
 
Re: New Color Showers...WTF?!

I don't roll with changes either, especially when they're not for the good :nono:. I'm very resistant to change (if you couldn't tell by my post :look:) so I don't know what I'll be trying next. Maybe Sebastian's Colourshines replacement, or the Matrix one, or how bout this; plain ol henna 'nem!! I don't know. Even my daughter opened the bottle and was like what is this? I sent an email to RBH suggesting they contact the distributor to find out if the bottles may be labeled incorrectly. I also expressed my unhappiness and if this is in fact the new formulation and correct color to take my pic/testimonial out of the album. I do not wanna mislead anyone!!

Me being overly curious and just refusing to accept defeat, I'm sitting under the dryer now w/a serious mix going on. I think I mixed about 4 different colors to get my desired effect. Hopefully it works. I did a strand test w/just the bottle labeled Cobre and guess what color it rinsed out? Yellow/goldish. I swear these bottles are mislabeled!!!! And to add insult to injury TWICE, I get an e-mail for 10% off $25 on the site THEN I'm using the last of my original Cobre when it shoots out of the bottle, onto my pants and on my damn rug :wallbash:. The Gods Must Be Crazy--'member that movie?!
 
Re: New Color Showers...WTF?!

Could someone describe the new bottle? I ordered Cobre, based on Eisani's beautiful results and now I'm hesitant.

You and Wheezy had me set on using color showers and I'm so sad that I probably never will now. I do trust your judgement. Girl you be on it with the coloring and I wish I had the confidence to try something new. I'm scared it won't come out right. Another thing I'm nervous about getting color all over the bathroom. How do you remove it from the shower?

You just run water to rinse it away. It's easy clean up. Just make sure your tub is clean cuz if not, you'll have to do a lil more work to clean out the color :spinning:

I hope so too. I know it's not the seller's fault, I just wanna hear what the distributor or manufacturer has to say about it...that movie was hilarious to me.
 
Re: New Color Showers...WTF?!

So what does this new Colorshowers bottle look like...so I can avoid it. And just when I wanted to try that Bright Red:nono::wallbash:
 
Re: New Color Showers...WTF?!

Oh ok, I have the new bottle (1st pic) of black and I was not feeling the detergenty smell....I used it once and I also hated how it stuck to my scalp...I had absolutely no idea that it was a new formula.

I have never seen that second bottle. I always saw the first one (amazon, where I was thinking of purchasing from)
WOW!
How did it work E?

I just rinsed out my conditioner this morning and put it in a bun for work. The color appears pretty bright, but I won't know until after I get home and flat iron. I'll post pics from my BB camera, digital is busted. I ended up mixing most of my remaining original Cobre, Rojisimo, a dash of the fake Cobre, and some clear. The fake cobre actually toned it down. My original mix was fake cobre and rojisimo. I let it sit a bowl for a while and it turned a beautiful chestnut brown, but that wasn't what I was going for. This also lets me know that fake cobre is indeed a fake (like how I keep saying that? :laugh:). I upped the rojisimo, added more clear and the last of my original cobre. We'll see how it looks this evening.

I'm just wondering if the quality of the ingredients ended up getting compromised as demand increased...I've never had to do all that mixing, unless it was by choice :nono:.

ETA: AND I had to use more!! Unless my hair is getting thicker, I had to use way more than I usually do. Just all around upset...

Eisani did you notice that the new formula smells like old school soap powder?
 
Re: New Color Showers...WTF?!

Patiently awaiting to see how E's hair turned out. Why would they mess up a good thing?

:lachen:I was trying to place the scent.

NeeNee, I don't know if they know how serious folks take these kinds of changes...I'm ready to put on all black :ninja:

:blush::blush::blush: Think about for a few more days. I pondered about it for weeks before I did it. You do not like your new color at all????

I am about to look for Lady Fior's website/phone number/address and give it to you so you can give them a beatdown!!!
 
Re: New Color Showers...WTF?!

Um......no wonder I didn't like Color Showers.:nono:
I have the new formula. I purchased mine from RH.

I will be giving it away. Used it once...."hated it".......went back to Bigen and I'm pleasantly pleased.

ETA; Thanks Eisani for posting a picture of the bottles. And sorry this happened.

Yea, Jenn said she contacted them and they say the product s/b the same, only the bottle is different. We discussed a few possible scenarios like a bad batch, etc but not really looking to get a definitive answer. Stay tuned y'all, for real...
 
Re: New Color Showers...WTF?!

Wow I was about to buy three bottles and try some colors.....I'm happy I didn't I guess I should look for a different brand

Im SOOOOO glad you posted this. I saw you and Wheezy's hair and feel in love with how vibrant your hair was (i am a colorholic and im trying to stop so this seemed like the perfect solution). However when I used it, it bled for days (I used the Mahogany so a reddish bleeding all over everything) and stained my scalp. My hair felt funny...like extra coated....i didnt even wanna use it on my mom so it wouldnt be red all over her scrubs. MY HAIR DIDNT EVEN REALLY CHANGE COLOR... I was gonna make a thread asking if I did something wrong.... :nono:...now I am about to use another permanent... so much for the no double processing

eta: and i thought this was the original bottle ( i have the one in the first pic)
