My head resembles a plastic bowl full of black cherries
fake cherries
I had a very bad experience.
I colored my hair the other day with haircolor I bought from the store. I bought the new L’Oreal New Casting Creme Gloss, color #550 Mahogany. The box said the color was “mahogany” which sort of chocolate reddish brown.
I applied the color. My head was burning. I suffered a massive migraine…and my hair turned into a nasty black cherry color that had hints of magenta!!! Does anyone know who the Plastic Heads are? They are a punk band from the 80s. They were the first things to pop into my mind. The color made my hair resemble a plastic bowl…a black cherry with a magenta sheen.
Mahogany…yeah right!
Oh boy! I wanted to cry! I am still upset every time I look into the mirror.
The color would have looked good on a young thing who was into a Goth look but not on a 40-yo mama with 5 kiddos!
Ugh! Double Ugh!!
My hair looks really fake for sure now…not natural at all.
This and That and Whatever 
Home dyes always look crazy for the first week or two but after a few washes it should fade – or has it already been that long?
I’ve had some bad experiences with hair dye too.. I used to dye my hair every colour going but now it’s all natural and it’s a good feeling :D. What colour is your hair naturally? An ash dark brown should sort it out if your hair is naturally dark 🙂
Hi, sorry for the delayed reply. I wrote this post four days after dying my hair. It was awful. It was all burgundy. Not me at all. And you know what?! The color didn’t even last long. I have to re-dye my hair. I will look into the color you suggested. But also, I am thinking about just putting henna back into my hair. I am undecided though. 😦
