Product Review

I have had the same amazing stylist since I was fourteen years old. We have grown together. We have bonded. We have experimented with different hairstyles. I trust her with my hair completely. 


And then, I moved.


Its so hard to trust someone else with your hair when you haven't had to trust someone new in so long. I am sure there are better stylists somewhere in the big city of Chicago, I am sure I will find one that I love, but I just wasn't ready to do that yet. 


The last time I went to my stylist at home we decided to put a really blonde streak in my hair towards my bangs and then purple streaks underneath in the bottom layers. I know that sounds like it couldn't look cute, but it just worked. I don't know how, it just did. Even my parents liked it and they hate anything not traditional. Moral of the story, my hair was three different colors and all three of them have been slowly growing out. It looked really bad and we are going to St Louis this weekend to visit family and (eek) take family pictures. I couldn't stand the thought of taking pictures with hair like that but of course, it was too late to get a appointment with anyone that was suggested on The Nest when I posted about this.


I took the plunge. I bought a boxed dye.
This one to be exact. I was so scared. How could a boxed dye work when I had three different colors in my hair?
Sorry for the no make up look. I could say I am trying something more natural or I could tell the truth- I just woke up.

I am really pleased with the dye. Honestly. It covered three different colors and I now have just one color again. Magical feeling really. I wish I would have taken a before picture but I was much too embarrassed.

I know everyone's hair will react differently I am just posting about what worked for me and this, worked for me.

I also like that I paid $8 when I would have paid $150 in a salon. BONUS! Lol.

Happy Wednesday, we are almost to the weekend!
