WHAT DO I DO?? Please advice me on my hair. I don't want to "F" it up.
Okay, so I have my weaknesses. One of them is my
for being a redhead. I am naturally a redhead, but my hair is fickle and sometimes it's lovely, sometimes it's icky - color-wise.
So, I had this brilliant
: idea to dye my hair a dark brunette back in the spring. I did it with a #2 temp dye. I look like an idiot as a brunette. I waited and hoped and washed and it washed out, some. I gave up waiting and sometime during the summer, I dyed it red. You could still see some of the old brown under there, the most of my hair being a darker red then the new growth, about 1.5" at the top. So, that was #3 permanent.
Fast forward to today. My hair is not the lovely red it was pre-baby. It's a dull reddish now. (Or, at least the top 2" is a dull reddish. After that, it's redder for about 1.5" and then dark red/brown for the remaining length to my shoulders.)
Let's see....
1.) I don't want to destroy my hair.
2.) I'm trying to grow it out, so I want to be gentle.
3.) It looks like hell and I need desperate help to make it look decent, preferably one basic overall red.
I have a box of Garnier hair color in the bathroom. It's calling my name. http://www.garnierusa.com/img/00000/...434-8_pack.jpg
Should I use that? Or, should I go to a salon, a good one? If I went to a salon, what could they do better than I can do at home?
ACK!!! I just want my hair back!!!!!
