Wow, great growth:D
Have you tried henna yet?
I like doing glosses, but am building up to full apps:D

I like your own colour! But if you don't like it you should color it again, it's your hair :) Great growth!

Pretty hair. You could alway do an indigo application over the henna to get black hair. :D

[KittyLost]

You've grown so much! And I think your natural colour is pretty.

[Tuntenut]

Nice growth, and it looks like your hair has gained a good deal of bouncy fluffyness too. Congrats. ^_^

If you hate your colour and don't want to henna, then there are other direct dye alternatives which don't involve peroxide/ammonia and won't lift (ie deposit only). You could give Elumen (http://forums.longhaircommunity.com/showthread.php?t=5594&highlight=elumen) a go, or Pravana Silk Degrees (http://pravana.com/v2/vis/products/silk_degrees_hair_color.php) or Wella Color Fresh or Clairol Beautiful Collection......the list goes on. All are semi-permanent, ie will wash out gradually but they are NOT damaging and might be a good alternative for you.

Your hair looks gorgeous btw and is growing long very quickly! Good luck :flowers:
