    Gingernutty, I keep meaning to ask... is your hair OK now? Didn't you have some kind of hair dye incident?!

    I apologise in advance if this breaks your browser screens.

    I totally wrecked my hair using this stuff! I had OK enough hair, not in amazing condition but it didn't fall out when I brushed it.


    After using Colour B4 my hair just looked and felt bad. Straw, matted easily and very very porous. The first time I redyed it, it went straight back to the colour it had just been lifted from...BUT...it did fade very quickly (though unevenly). It is still in at the ends of my hair now- it looks odd when I dye it- I get a sort of Ombre effect but with the dark parts at the ends and not in a good way! I'm luckily now going to be able to chop it off soon without risking a '70s style bowl cut!


    This and Sun-In are possibly rites of passage I think! Though passages that can be avoided if you trust others when they say "don't do it!"
