absolutely want it lighter! it's too dang dark! i'll see if i can get a pic of it tonight. i'm wondering if i should just let be, and let it fade, cuz it usually does that after a few weeks.

Lolol! Actually I almost got the aubergine color Cnd but it would've come out too light right now. Is it a permanent color landi? Or semi? If semi then I agree let it fade away but if not then if you have strong hair go for the lighter color but make sure it's a product that is made for going from dark to light. The burgandy I used was make especially for dark hair but as my hair was fraggle red it just made it fuscia instead of burgandy lol. Lol one of my co-workers said it now matched my desktop.

I learned the ash lesson the hard way after having red a few too many times when using "golden" browns. Landi, now when I color mine (medium ash brown), it stays REAL dark brown for a couple weeks then comes back to the color I was looking to have. And somehow it has golden highlights. So maybe you should wait yours out for another week or so.

update on my hair. while at my mom's this weekend i was able to get the stylist that has always done my hair to color it back to something resembling my natural color. i like it much better and am not so shocked this morning to look in the mirror. her comments about my hair were as follows. she said that they used too much of the wrong chemicals on my hair. they took the body and natural curl out of my hair. she said that i have a lot of breakage and that is why it has become so thin. she did feel that i could have sued and won. she also thinks that since my hair grows fast and i am in mostly good health that my hair should come back to almost as good as it was before. she only trimmed about 1/2 inch here and there trying to even out some of the mistakes that were too short to fix before. right now i am just happy to NOT have orange hair anymore. as i am still at mom's until later today i can't post a picture yet. will try to do that after i get home tonight or tomorrow. if i still have the other pictures i'll post a comparison. though the orange didn't come through on this board when i posted the pictures before.

Great! It's good you had someone you can trust to do it right. It'll only look better with time from now on.

Definitely better, Cnd! Much nicer color (and also much closer to your own! Not to mention that it has clearly grown out a bit and then been well cut (as well cut as possible).

Cnd, the color does look better, even in the cell phone pics. You also look happier!

Wow ... what a difference! The colour is lovely, very natural, and this cut is way more flattering. The best thing is that you look so much more peaceful, and way less stressed, and I'm happy for that.

I think this short style suits you. The colour on the previous picture didn't really show on this pc but this darker shade is definitely an improvement. I like it!

CND, I agree with Kitt. I really like the cut on you! The color is great, too. It compliments your own natural coloring. You just look happier, more glowing and just plain cute! I really would keep it that way!

Well I tried the black and thankfully most of my hair is now black. I say most cause if you look closely you can see areas of auburn. But I can deal with this for a week or so... The pic is blurry but you can get the idea.
yes i had this in the wrong thread, the h's confused me lol.
