I actually discussed henna in the post – pure henna is what I use for the henna gloss which is number 3 on the list! This is one of the coolest colors I have tried, and I have always colored my hair with blonde highlights, nothing really wild! I want to have some fun accenting my mom’s hair with some fun bright color but wondered how long it lasts on unprocessed hair… It’s direct deposit but considered semi permanent, and I use it on prelightened hair with great success.

I’m so annoyed to hear you’ve been having trouble finding the Botanics one too: I have a horrible feeling they’ve discontinued it, and that would be such a shame because it was so good! It’s really funny – the main reason I stopped updating was because no one ever commented on it, so I assumed no one was reading! Safe to use weekly to maintain all-over color, refresh highlights, or to deep condition, this pick can be used on all hair types. Word to the wise, here: the first time I used this, I put way too much on one strand of my hair, which came out BRIGHT, SHOCKING RED. After making the transition from regularly coloring my hair to letting it go silver, I was still visiting the salon every six weeks for toner to keep it looking vibrant," says one reviewer.Haha, I’m glad you’re happy – I’ve been trying to find time for it for months now, but something else always seems to come up! Red hair can become dull due to a variety of factors, including overexposure to the sun, heat styling, and using the wrong hair products. Unlike color-depositing shampoos, those with curly hair have a little more to choose from when it comes to color-depositing conditioners. The color-depositing formula gently cleanses and conditions hair, enhancing the color of all shades of red hair. It lasts for 6-8 shampoos, which would actually be pretty good going on my hair, which is very resistant to dye: and, of course, if it workss, it’s not exactly a big deal to have to use it once a week, is it?

I used the John Freida glaze even though it made my hair tangly and I recently found a shampoo, conditioner and glaze by the chain Ulta (we get alimited Boots products through Target and we don’t have Superdrug) and I’ve been soooo happy with the results.Light blonde, platinum or natural gray hair are the ideal shades to start with before dyeing hair silver," says Jennifer Korab, a celebrity hair stylist and colorist.

Blonde and platinum hair shades know all too well that keeping a purple shampoo and/or conditioner in their arsenal is key to maintaining a bright and fresh color. Oh, I think it’ll definitely be easier: I’ve never done a “proper” henna dye, because it just sounds so time-consuming and messy, but this only takes me 15 minutes (not including the time it takes for the henna to activate, obviously, but because I don’t add any ingredients to it that’s pretty simple, too – I just leave it overnight and it’s ready to use in the morning), and I’ve so far managed to avoid making too much mess with it, which is a miracle for me. Effect on gray hair: Semi-permanent colours add shine and moisturize gray hair without changing its structure. Plus, it's not a bad idea to use it to cover up grays in between appointments as well if that's your thing.That said, after the first wash I noticed that my colour was not only more vibrant but just a few shades away from the professional colour I left the salon with in December.
