A friend of a friend who does hair and make up for CBS' Craig Ferguson Show and who used to tour with Kiss, once recommended that I use Natural Instincts semi-permanent hair dye to brighten up my do. Nice way of saying my hair was fried from the sun and needed help:) Although enhancing natural beauty isn't her usual goal at work (unless you find Gene Simmons to be naturally beautiful), she knows a lot more about this stuff than I do!
I tried it a while back and loved it. My friend, Hollis, tried it and loved it. So my cousin, Natalie, was in town and volunteered her head for the latest experiment. Great news especially since we all have different hair types! 
Step 1: Comb and slightly dampen hair
Step 2: Separate hair into small sections and apply dye to roots
Step 3: Add more dye throughout hair and comb it through evenly
Step 4: Realize you should have applied Vaseline to her forehead and ears. Oops. Sorry Natalie.

Voila! Beauteous maximus!Bottom line: This formula in particular adds shine, brilliance, and makes the coarsest hair soft. The best part is it naturally fades away over a month or two rather than growing out from the roots like permanent dye. Its a great way to try a new color without having to pay an arm and a leg or commit to monthly root fills.
I LOVE that dye. Great idea for an article, Leslie! Seriously, this hair dye never lets me down. And I know it washes out all the way because I use teh light auburn, and my roots are ash brown. So each time the dye washes out, my roots are a half inch longer. Healthier hair, too!! :D
ReplyDeleteHer hair looks great! I should give it a try - maybe do an auburn-like color for the fall.
