Too Much Orange In The Purple
The color was Black Cherry. It looked burgundy on the box. It came out Royal Purple. Gorgeous. If God made Purple Hair, it would have looked like that. Naturally glowingly gorgeous. It wasn’t what I was going for, but I lived it down, and ended up loving it.
I was walking down the street one day and a girl actually rolled down the window in the car she was in to holler, “I LOVE your HAIR!”. Seriously. In that young girl idolization sort of voice. It was that good.
I always knew I wanted to do it again. The dye is pretty harsh on my head though, and I pay for it when I dye my hair, so I can only do it once every year or so, and then it has to be gentle dyes.
They corrupted all the dye colors in the brand I use. They Grannied them all, and I look so bad in gray. They finally started bringing some of them back, but the one I use most is still a tad grayish.
If I dye, I can only do it ONCE! I cannot overdye if it comes out wrong. I’m stuck with it.
Black Cherry is gone. They don’t make it anymore, even though it is still a very popular color. The color on the box was NEVER the color it came out, the color on the box was Burgundy, and that is the color I was going for originally.
This time, I chose a color that LOOKED the same as the color on the box looked for Black Cherry.
I mixed the dye and put it on. As it developed, I knew I was in trouble. It developed a sort of melony orange pink color first, then the blues developed over that. It ended up looking a purplish Burgundy, sort of. But there is orange in there too, underneath the purples. Very strange.
The oranges clash with my skin tones. You look at me and know this is the wrong color for me.
I shall HAVE to over dye in about two months. I have some Ash Brown to use, and it is ok. Not wonderful, but acceptable. At least it does not look orange when it fades, and this color is GOING TO LOOK ORANGE. (Blues fade faster than reds, especially that Henna color that never should have been in this one in the first place.)
Who knew they could produce orange purple hair dye?
