Yeah, the only time I went lighter is when I kept my hair cut really short and wasn't trying to grow it out.
But after I clarified it seems to have gotten rid of that dusty coating. I will see what it looks like on Friday when it starts to dry out. If it still looks OK, I will put off coloring until the end of the month or beginning of next month.
joico has really great semi demi... they last a really long time and they're colors are vibrant even on my dark hair. I dont mess with arctic fox, adore etc... the color pay off isnt worth itYeah, the only time I went lighter is when I kept my hair cut really short and wasn't trying to grow it out.
I love the ease of the semi, but for my hair semi and demi colors only last 2 weeks. And I really hate to color my hair so often. I do think I'm going to get a semi and use it just for my edges to give me some relief.
Go ahead with the fancy colors
Yeah, it's just my hair. Anything that lays on my hair will wash off. A week after applying a semi, I can literally slide my hands down my hair and pull the color off. My cuticles lie just that flat. I will give their semi a try though. But I literally have tried 12 different brands of semi, demi and permanent and mostly high end. The eSalon was the only demi I was able to get to work because it was thin and watery.
oh ur low porosity?
Yeah and it makes non-permanent color a beast. And my grays are probably even lower porosity.
oh okay i'm med to high...
I really like it. Just wish I had purchased more of the moisturizing shampoo.
Jump on in here. Don't be shy.Wow, there's alot of info. in here. Don't mind me, I'm just looking around.
I didn't know that. I don't know why I thought you have been doing wash and goes forever. We will celebrate you in September.
Y’all-I have officially “made it” in the natural hair game-I got several compliments on my hair today AND was weave checked by the Indian man at the gas station
This fool kept eyeing my scalp while I was swiping my card and then proceeded to ask me if it was my real hair and if I was Cuban
then started trying to make small talk and flirt
I kindly took my Twix and bid him good day!
I feel like I’m representing for all us naturals today

I hope you told him you are representing us.
Why not get sisterlocks now? And then your hair will be super long in 2 years. What happens in 9 years?
I turn 40 in 9 years and I’ve always thought that’s when I would lock my hair.
Woop woop! Glad clarifying helped with the color issues for now!
I thought about locking my hair. But I have watched some of my friends do it and it seems to be the same amount of work, albeit you do retain more length. But I notice with more length, there is the tendency to have to keep it up because it can be too heavy. And I also have friends who had to give them up because of the scalp issues. I was initially excited about it but then realized it probably wasn't going to work for me.
Me too.
I really like too have a nice gap in between color sessions.
I think sisterlocks are beautiful. I need to research more about the maintenance/tightening. It seems like that would be a long process.
You know I’ve done zero research! My mom had microlocks for about 10 years. They were beautiful, but she did spend a lot of time at the salon getting them retwisted because she preferred a more neat/conformed look.
That is good you have someone close that you will get the 411 from.
