Adventures in Hair Dye

After much thought, I decided to try dying my hair at home rather than at the salon.  The pros seem to outnumber the cons in the sense that 1. It’s much much cheaper  2.  There are so many color options in the supermarket   3. It’s so much easier to waste a half an hour at home rather than in the salon.  I ended up with Garnier Nutrisse Cappucino 4.3.  I figure I will just try a new one each month till I find the perfect color for my skin tone. 

The application was pretty easy.   Mix creme and hair dye, put on gloves, apply to roots and then to rest of hair, sit for 30 minutes, rinse and then apply deep conditioning (provided) for 2 minutes.  I was very impressed with the results.  My hair looked rich and healthy, the color was beautiful, my hair smelled great and not a grey hair in sight. 

As a first step, I’m very happy with the results.  I just want to see how the color and texture will look after a few washes before I commit   For anyone who dyes their hair at home, I suggest Garnier Nutrisse as an option.  I will keep you updated on other colors and brands I try in the future. 

Update:  Garnier Nutrisse lasted beautifully for one whole month.  Color stayed fresh and vibrant whole month.

L’Oreal Excellence Creme

Ladies…. Stay away from this product.  I just used it thinking that its claims of ProKeratin were gonna make my hair vibrant and lustrious but all it made it was burnt and quite blah!  And what’s worse is that it hardly took away my greys!!!  So now i’m stuck with dead grey hair, until I revert to using my Garnier Nutrisse next month of course.
