Hello All,
I have a hair color question, I currently get my hair colored at a n Aveda Salon a very bold red (almost unnatural but not quite) The level in color is the same (level 5/6) as my natural but just a different tone. When I get my hair done I get my roots and then also my length and ends this is because up until about April I was a platinum double process blonde and the previously over bleached lengths and ends don't really like to hold color, so to keep it somewhat even I have to get all my hair done. I would like a healthier alternative for my lengths and ends, I don't know if I am ready to go the Henna route just yet. But I was thinking of trying either Manic Panic (Pillar Box Red or Rock 'n' Roll Red) OR N'Rage (Crimson Red) both available from Sally's but I definitely don't want to damage my hair. When I mentioned the Manic Panic maybe mixed with conditioner to my stylist she said oh no it would totally dry my hair out (which is dry and damaged enough already) I trust her and she is really nice, but I don't know. I had always thought since Manic Panic and N'Rage were veggie based dyes they wouldn't be drying? I am also concerned with when the reds fade ending up with pink hair although my hair is already pretty dark (5/6). Anyone with experience or who could offer some great LHC wisdom is greatly appreciated. Thank You!
