    WHaaayyyyy Haayyyyyyy she said colour ... :T

    as for the treatments, if your a skin flint like me, i use regular conditioner (dove at the moment) & slather it on DRY HAIR, then wrap head (just hair) in cling film like a turban, stick a hair dryer near it to WARM it up for 10 mins or so, then wash it off gently (same as we use to do in the salon & charge for a conditioning treatment)!

    Shampoos & conditioners like pantene & organics (possibly dove) etc contain silicone & thats what makes your hair soft & shiney, however, it builds up on your hair & can stop perms & COLOURS staying on the hair... so dont condition it couple of days before a perm or colour.

    I dont know if you can still get this, but the body shop banana condition was excellent stuff.

    the reason permanent colour isnt permanent on your hair is because the cuticle isnt holding the colour in. either its too full or damaged!!

    yer... get a pic & email to me.... lol

    hi

    lush do a range of hair COLOURS called les cacas. Have a look on their website. If you are putting a red over a black it might just make it look black but with a red sheen. Any way have a look at the website - I think their COLOURS are pretty powerful!
