Question about color...

[brownhaired_bonanza]

...I'm considering putting a rinse in my hair (getting my hairdresser to do it, anyway). I don't know the proper name of the color that i intend to get but i can describe it as a very deep, purple-ish hue. Almost the shade of a plum. Maybe that's the name of it plum purple, i dunno. My question is, since my hair is already a dark brown, do you think that it will show up clearly as it should? A friend of mine siad that I'd have to get my hair a lighter color THEN do the darker one. I'm not so cool with putting that much stuff in my hair. Can any of you ladies give me any tips as to what I should do or expect?

Thanks. I just needed some reassurance. I'd hate to be disappointed at the outcome.

I wanted to get a rinse a couple of weeks ago but because I wasn't sure on how it would come out I didn't get it. The stylist said the color would come out a copper like a penny. That comment kind of turned me off from getting it. But I will probably go back and try it. Because it is safer than dye. Right?

Hmm... you can go either way I think, you could use Affirm Moisturcolor it has a dark brownish plum shade. More plum than brown. Or, now that I remember, I got a gorgeous purply plum tint a few years back with Sebastians cellophane in Red Wine. But if you wanted to go brighter later I'd use Affirm's lightener then get a cellophane. I highly recomend Affirm's color products since it didn't wreak havoc on my hair like another brand by L' Oreal did. Just don't let a SHS chop your bra strap length hair to brushing the shoulder claiming she thinks its too damaged, ( Just needed a trim) like mine did awhile back .
