It faded within 2 weeks to a dark blond and eventually became dishwatery like my natural color. I was so upset, it looked so good
My hairstylist warned me of the fading ahead of time but of course I held out hope that I'd be the exception to the rule.
Anyway, I hope you're liking your color!
Well, my fears came true, and it faded. But I went in yesterday for my stylist to redo and there was I am not sure if she was a rep or friend in the biz but she had this new spray on stuff that you spray on hair before applying color and it is to even it out, esp since my hair had all diff colors from red to blonde panels etc. anyway this spray immediately brought it to a true brown and made it ready for color. I was the guinea pig for my stylist so I was a little nervous but it turned out way better this time around. For anyone in the field it was something by ISO I think. Supposed to be something new. Not sure. Oh and
supposedly the lady told my gal that when you need a touchup your supposed to just be able to spray this stuff on, leave in, wash out next morning a voila! Not sure about how that works or if it does, but whatever. So now my brown is really rich, lustrous, and I love it.
Hopefully it stays a little longer now.
