Goodbye Red, Hello Blonde: One and Only Color Fix Reveiw

After my fun with L'Oreal's Hicolor Hilights in Red I have decided I want to go back blonde. After trying to cover the red with a brown with no luck, except to turn it a darker burgundy red I have researched product reviews and decided to strip my hair with Jherri Redding's One and Only Color Fix.($9.99 on sale at Sally's Beauty Supply). This stuff is AMAZING!! It completely removed the red in only 2 processes ( one box for my short, thick/wavy/coarse hair).It did not damage my hair at all! The smell is bad, but not bad enough to keep me away from this product!!Plus the smell DID wash out in a few shampoos! I decided to use every step , even though most reviewers warned it would re-darken hair, because I didn't want any surprises when I decided to re dye it! My hair did re-darken a little in between the 2 processes, but did not re-darken during or after the 3rd step.  It did not however get it quite as light as I want it. So after a weeks worth of more review reading I have decided that instead of Stripping it again I will try the L'Oreal Mega Blondes. It claims to lift up to 4 levels and no pre lightening is required! My hair is a dark golden blonde right now, so I think this will be the perfect product for me! Can't wait to try it out tomorrow and post a review with pictures! Off to Sally's!

L'Oreal Excellence Hicolor Hilights in Red and Magenta Review

After L'Oreal HiColor Hilights in Red and Magenta

I get very bored with my hair color often and decided recently that I wanted something vibrant and bold! After doing a lot of research and reading tons of reviews I decided to try L'Oreal Hi-color Hi-Lights for Dark hair only.First I did it in Magenta ...I wasn't thinking clearly and put it all over and ended up with "hot roots". So I returned to Sally's but they were out of Magenta, so I decided to go with Red. WOW! This was such a beautiful bright Red!! I absolutely loved it! This product is not for you if you want a natural looking red . Make sure to put on your ends first and only on your roots for the last 10-15 minutes depending on how dark your natural color is! DID NOT damage my hair! Smell wasn't to strong! My only complaints is the amount and it faded pretty fast. The fading may have been due to me showering with hot/warm water, but it is winter and too cold for cold showers! This also may be fixed with a color protein filler . Next I will be trying their Mega Blondes ... I have already stripped my hair with Jherri Redding's One and Only Color Fix! ( see my review) HAPPY COLORING!!
