Has anyone done a black hair rinse and realised that the colour doesn't look quite right? I see so many people with jet black hair and it's very obvious that it's a rinse. This is the only thing that's stopped me from trying it because knowing my luck I'd end up looking like a hot mess!
I've used a black semi perm by clairol natural instincts in midnight black for years and whenever I've just done it I get tons of compliments.
Now....I have tried the natural instincts jet black (blue black), which i don't even think they make anymore, & that's when I got negative reactions and it did look alittle fake until about a month later when it settled and some of it washed out.
mpsharrow - I've never had any color leakage onto my clothes however in the intructions it says not to use shampoo for that first wash but i do anyway so this could be why. I never even have any of the color rinsing out in the washes that follow. But like I said, this dye never really washes out of my hair. In the past when I've wanted to go back to my natural color, I had to completley grow the dye out.
I love the way black hair looks on me though. It brings out my eyes which are so dark that most people argue that they are actually black. It gives me more of a glow & does make my hair shinier. For some reason the natural color of my hair tends to bore me and lightening it just doesn't look that hot on me either plus I've done it in the past and my hair turned to straw.
ETA: Im my fotki there are pictures of when I straightened my hair in the texlaxed folder under both albums and I had also just dyed it and you can see the shine it gave me
