Shea Moisture Hair Color

[ajargon02]

Has anyone used this hair color?

Did your hair feel dry afterwards?

Did you sit under the dryer to process the color?

Have you had any breakage since using the color?

Any before and after pix?

I just ordered bright auburn in hopes that I will FINALLY get the color is want.

This is my favorite color. Right now it's the only one I use.

My hair doesn't feel dry afterwards but I do make sure that I do a protein treatment the week after and I do protein treatments on a regular basis to make sure I deal with any damage. I use to DC weekly but now I only DC once or twice a month and that seems to work well.

I don't sit under the dryer to process color. Because it is a permanent color it seems to process just fine with just a plastic bag.

I can't really comment on breakage. My hair has always had breakage. I don't have any more breakage with the color than I had before.

Unfortunately I don't have any pics. I had pictures in my blog but when they updated the site they didn't restore the blogs. My hair in my profile is colored with Shea Moisture Dark Brown.

I've only used the jet black.
I was thoroughly impressed.

This was the first time doing an at home permanent color and my hair felt like it was well conditioned and soft. Its the most gentle dye I've encountered.

That was in April. I am looking forward to doing it again in October for my 1 yr post BC anniversary.

My hair is still realllly black, but it has faded some.

I followed the directions on the box. I haven't experienced any excessive breakage outside of the usual "user error" (ie skipping my scheduled protein treatment or trim).

BEFORE: During my Big chop last year.
My hair was a dusty/dull black (October):


This was shortly after the dye (April):


This is from Friday during my dry finger detangle (September):


There is def fading, but I plan on exclusively using this color system every 6 months as long as its available.

Bumping anyone else?

YouTube has a bunch of reviews on the color system.
The lady below used the bright auburn and it did not take the first time because she skipped sitting under a hooded dryer. I guess with the red its suggested to sit under the dryer by the YouTube community.

2nd attempt (includes sitting under a hooded dryer):
