Here is a little secret about me: I am a natural brunette, not just any brunette, but a dark haired brunette. Now that is something that surprises most people after meeting me because the majority of my life I have had some sort of blonde coloring in it, but to their disbelief I am a natural dark haired brunette. I have done every color you can think of…blonde highlights, all over brown, honey brown, ombre, platinum blonde, honey blonde, and even grey. Yes I did try the grey trend on my hair for one month, but for anyone wanting to try this it does not stay in your hair very long even when using purple hair shampoo. Purple hair shampoo is what I was told to use to keep the grey in longer, but it faded very quickly. Despite trying various colors, , I always seem to go back to the ombre hair color. The benefit of the ombre is that since my hair is so dark naturally even when it grows out you can’t really tell, it still looks great.. hen I had all the blonde highlights or even the platinum blonde I would have to get my hair colored more often because my roots would show, but with ombre they don’t so the upkeep is easier and cheaper. When picking a new hair color it’s always best to trust your colorist. Regardless if I may say I want my hair to get this blonde or this color my colorist always tells me what is realistic and what will not kill my hair. Yes, hair always grows back, but as you get older your hair changes and the last thing you want to do is ruin your hair. Take care of it. My biggest suggestion if you get your hair colored as often as I do (I go every 8 weeks) is to ask for a conditioning treatment before you leave the hair salon.
