Re: Color Gurus: Questions About Hair Color Remover
Denali, guess what?
I went to a new girl to do my hair, not A. that I told you about.
Anyway, she applied the stuff without the booster (I don't think she heard me when I said it needed a booster). Anyway, she proceeded to apply it. She left me sitting there (didn't put me under the dryer). About 15 min. later,she checked it out and it hadn't done anything. She was suspicious that my ends were not the same color Sunset Brown as she applied. So, she ran across the street to the BSS to get the booster.
When she came back, she had a revelation. She said she knew something was wrong since my hair didn't change at all, even though she hadn't used the booster. Apparently, Sunset Brown is a DARK color!
It's supposed to be a really dark brown!!! I used to wonder why when I looked at color swatches online of S.B., it was always dark.
She told me that this was why stylists were always having such a hard time lifting my hair with that color, because they were basically dyeing my hair darker than it was, and then trying to lift it back up again. She also said this was why I was having such a hard time with my ends, because of all that lightener I was getting continuously placed in my head. She said instead of the lady admitting she was wrong (I told you how the lady who first used S.B. on my head and how she was all baffled
) she probably didn't want to tell the truth and had me thinking I had the correct color. She said next time, go by the color ring of hair that they have, and not by the name, cuz you know SB does sound like a light color.
Anyway, because my hair did nothing, she added the 40 level peroxide and bleached it. She said I can't get another perm for like 2 months and I need to use plenty of oil on my head for now on. I'm so glad I found her!!!!!
Here, look at the swatch for yourself!

PS- My color is darker now, but it looks like a rich, reddish cinnamon. Very pretty.
Everyone up in the salon now wants this color.
