Hey everyone! I haven't been around much lately, but I need some advice.
I'm bored with my hair. So I've done a lot of thinking and I've made a few decisions. Don't worry... no drastic cutting or anything like that. First I decided I need bangs. I've been growing them out and they are a little past APL now... but I realized I don't look right without them. Also, the only person I've ever trusted to cut my hair finally moved back in town so I'll be going to a hairdresser for the first time in 4 years! I'm so excited! :disco: So I'm going to have her cut some soft, side bangs. Soft, long layers in the front and do very long blended layers on just the ends so the can lay nicer. That I've already decided.
But... I also realized I miss my dark brown hair. I've always used permanent dye and I'd always do a full hair application each time to acheive the dark choclate brown I wanted. So before it didn't matter because my hair was really short, but I also heat styled daily (blowdry AND straighten every day) Now I don't heat style anymore, save for special occasions, and I haven't dyed my hair in about a year now. My roots are very nice and super soft... but I don't like the color. I'm very unhappy with it. It's just a plain lightish-mediumish-brownish-darkblondeish color. Just blah! Anyway, so I've decided I'm color it dark brown again.
So once that decision was made, I started thinking about my options and I can't decide on my method of coloring. I tend toward reddish tones, but it's all wrong for my coloring. That is why I didn't consider hendigo. Is there any way I could get dark brown hair with henna/indigo and not get reddish tints?? I want dark brown, not black or blackish brown.
If not, then I plan to just use a chemical dye of some sort. Either semi, demi, or permanent. I haven't decided on that part yet either.
So give me your opinions.... thanks!!:)
