I purchased the red hair dye!!

I know you guys are probably tired of hearing about my want to be red hair. I obviously obsess over decisions like this

L'Oreal Excellence Extreme Light Auburn Brown from Sally's.

This chick used the same color


I love the color on her and really hope it works on me. I ordered online because I looked up the Sally's locations and they are all kind of inconvenient. Hopefully it will be okay even though I didn't go look at swatches. I found a promo code for a free color depositing conditioner, which is cool. I am going to try to get away with washing my hair 3 times a week to help prevent fading (I normally do 5 or 6) and continue using Hair One for color treated hair.

A big thanks to our new hopefully regular poster Jolita for helping me pick the color!!

So we're going to have to wait until next week for pics!? It seems like I have a million Sally's around my house!

I know! I was hoping to go tomorrow and dye it over the weekend, but I have a bunch of stuff going on until early next week, and all of the Sally's are about 15 - 20 minutes in the wrong direction from all the places I'm going.

Good luck!! I really hope it works out for you, or I am going to feel like a jerk!!! lol

Now order some WEN.
My BFF is an " assisted redhead". I converted her to WEN about 9 months ago......she has now added me to her will! lol
Not only will it save your hair color, but once you master the tech. & your scalp becomes balanced you will wash your less.
Good luck!

I've been using Hair One, which is a dupe of Wen, and I love it! Hopefully it will be just as good as Wen at helping preserve the color. You have to use so much product that I cringe at the thought of having to spend $30 per bottle, and Hair One is just $10.

I am honest....I am a little scared for you. Going red without a professional is a bold move! I can't wait to see how it turns out!

Ha. Now you have me a little freaked out. lol. I'll post an after even if it's a nightmare and pink or something. Then you can say I told you so.

I go red without professional help and have done so for years. I have, however, been dying my hair since I was 17... always from a box. LOL - you will be fine!
