My natural hair color is a very dark brown {almost black} with red highlights. I've been lightening it and putting henna in it for years {as in I don't know if my husband has ever know my natural color!} to get a brighter red. But I decided I wanted to go back to a color closer to my natural color so I went and picked out a dark brown hair color. I've tried to do dark reds before and they always seem to look purplish or burgundy on me, which I don't like. I figure I can always add some red later or just let my natural color grow back in...although I probably can't do that because my natural color now includes A LOT of grey. :( Any ways because of all the henna I've been putting in my hair it turned a blackish color instead of a dark warm brown {as you can see from the pictures above}. I sort of knew that was probably going to happen. Henna doesn't like hair dye. I don't either normally, but I really wanted a bigger change then I can get with henna. Now that my hair is dark again I can always add some red henna later and it will just add a reddish sheen to it, I probably won't do anymore hair dye, it's sooooo stinky!
So there you have it, my big birthday change...something had to happen and my husband didn't want me to shave my head. {I have done that before...}

Now we have the same hair color!
I really really like it too! You definetly do NOT look old. :)
Oooo! I like it! You look good in it! I wish I could do really dark colors but my skin tone doesn't work with it. I love dark hair.
Loriel (is that how you spell it????) has a new hair dye that does not have amonia in it so it isn't stinky. You could try that?
