When it comes to salon procedures, I’m a D-I-Y kind of girl. I do not like to get manicures/pedicures (I did my own nails for my wedding), and I have not had my hair professionally colored in over 10 years.
I don’t have much grey (yet) but the strands that I do have all surround my face & really stand out against my naturally dark hair color. So for the last 10 years or so, I have used a semi-permanent hair color that matches my natural color almost exactly.
This morning I applied my monthly coloring touch-up. As I was blowdrying my hair, I started to freak out. Why did the hair color “take” so much more strongly this time?!? This was NOT the subtle grey-blending effect that I usually achieve. I dug through the trash & realized the mistake. D’oh! I used a PERMANENT rather than semi-permanent developer. Yikes!!! Lesson learned: do not purchase hair coloring products when rush-shopping with two cranky pre-schoolers!
