So I've been growing my hair out a lot since the last time I colored it. I realized I don't like my natural hair color. So I thought about it and I decided to go back to being a red head. My favorite color system has been the Shea Moisture line. I tried the soft black color back in January. It looked great but my hair felt icky. like there was just this coating that would never wash off. The Bright Auburn however is great. This time it took so much better than the first time I tried it. I started with dry and somewhat dirty ( my hair had been in mini twists for a week) . I split my hair into four sections and applied the color all over from root to tip. I then sat with the color on my hair for 45 minutes under a hooded dryer. The system requires you to wash your hair with the moisture retention shampoo then condition with the provided conditioner. I let the conditioner sit for another 30 minutes, rinsed then styled. Annnnddddd Voila!!
I like it. Its brighter than before I think its because I used the dryer this time. My hair feels soft like usual, not dried out and brittle. My curl pattern remained the same also. So all in all I am still pleased with this color system and will probably use it the next time I color my hair. If only I could get the blonde color would show up in my hair without me having to bleach my hair first. Then we would be in business.
