Guys so, as you can see my hair, it is bright red. Those of you who are following me on Instagram. This should be no surprise to you. If you're not following me on instagram, then number one. You should be a number two okay, if you're already a subscriber to me - or you know me in real life, then you know that my hair was a really really dark. Brown color almost black in some parts, but I was able to get at this color and I did not have to pre bleach it or do anything crazy like that. I just used one product and it was able to get my hair from really really dark brown to this vibrant, bright red color. So I'm going to show you what I did. What I use, how I did it and explained all of that, the color that I use is the L'Oreal hi color highlights for dark hair. Only I use the color of magenta and the color red. I used three boxes of the magenta and one color of the red. Then I also used a bottle of 30 volume developer, a mixing bowl like this one, this one's really cool because it has measurements on the inside and then this little brush to apply the color to your hair. I'M also a pair of rubber gloves to protect your hands. If you don't already know, I do wear hair extensions, so I'm going to show you how I dyed my real hair and then how I guide my extensions. So my real hair was dyed, a really really dark brown color. I did have to use the L'Oreal hi color highlights twice to lift the really dark color out of my hair, to make it bright red. What I did the first time was, I made sure, before I even started, mixing my color or anything like that that I laid down tons of newspaper all over my bathroom and I put on an old t-shirt, because I did not want to stain or ruin anything And once I protected the area around me, I took some petroleum jelly and I rubbed it along the edges of my face and my ears, the nape of my neck, cetera et cetera. So that way my skin didn't stained red either. Then I mixed my color. I took my mixing bowl and I took one box of my magenta color, please in there and then I mixed a 1 to 2 ratio. With my 30 volume developer, the bowl you have measures and milliliters like mine. Does I use 70 milliliters of developer? Basically, if you want to put twice the another developer as you do color, I mix that because he was very thick and chunky, so I just kept mixing it till it was smooth and not chunky, and then I just started applying it onto my hair. I section my hair off into four sections to in the front and then to in the back just to make it a little bit easier on myself and I just applied it. I did not put it on my roots at first, I just started where my hair was really dark, able to see that my roots were all new growth, so it was like a light brown color, and then there was sort of like a line where my color Started and then it was just really really dark, so I just focused the color, mostly on those parts applied it all over, and then I put a plastic bag over my head to keep the heat in. I waited with that for about 20 or 25 minutes and then I went through and I put the color on my room and I left that on for only about five or ten minutes. I knew that, since my roots were regrowth, that I was going to take the color very very quickly, so I didn't want my roots to be like really really bright and crazy and then have the rest of my hair be dark. So I did that I waited. I think in total I had the color on my hair for 30 or 35 minutes. Then I just rinse it all out. I didn't use shampoo or conditioner or anything I just washed it out. I made sure that I used very cold water because warm water strips read faster and I obviously didn't want it to all wash out so yeah. I just used really cold water. Then you want to make sure after you rinse it out, that you use either a red towel or just an old towel, that you don't really care about, because your hair will bleed a little bit and you don't want to ruin a towel because you're never going To be able to get that read out, so I just did that I put some hair oil in it. I let it air dry went to bed next morning. I dyed it the second time I basically did the exact same thing. I used another bottle of the magenta color this time I didn't put it on my roots at all. I only put it on areas that still were a little bit dark, but I mostly just focused it on the shaft and the ends of my hair. I left that on for again 30 or 35 minutes rinsed it out with cold water once again and it ended up lightening all of the dark areas and it was all a really nice, vibrant, magenta color. If your hair is virgin hair, meaning you've never colored it before or it is a lighter brown color, you probably could get away with just dyeing it once but, like I said, since mine was colored and it was colored a really really dark color, I decided to Do it twice, I think I needed to do it twice for my extensions. I decided to buy a new pair of extensions at Sally's once I already had were a really dark brown, almost black color, and they were already damaged from dyeing them other times. So I decided to just buy a new set and bought ones that were sort of a light chestnut brown color. I mix a probably like a two-third ratio of magenta and then a one-third red, because I did notice that my hair certain parts came out a little bit more pink than I would have liked them and since the extensions were already a pretty light color I wanted Them to still be more red than pink, but I didn't want them to be like a Ronald McDonald red, so I did still want like some pink undertones. So that's what I did. I did two-thirds magenta one-third red mix that, together all together. I use about the same amount that would be in one box of color. So once again, I use 70 milliliters of my 30 volume developer mix. Those together place my extensions on some aluminum foil and then it just sort of painted them of the color. When I was done paying to the color on all of them, I just wrapped them up in the foil again to kind of keep the heat contained, and then I only left that on for about 15 or 20 minutes, because there was a lighter color, I didn't Want it to be so bright and not match my real hair at all, so yeah, then once those are done processing once again, I just frank them in really cold water, and that was basically it. It was a pretty easy process and considering I've never been a redhead before and I've never had my entire head be a really bright, crazy color. I think I did a pretty good job, so if you're wondering no, my hair is not damaged. My extensions are definitely not rich at all their jiggles and soft. My hair itself was already pretty damaged before I made it red, but I don't know I mean it's a little dry, but it's nowhere near as bad as if I would have pre bleached it. I would say it's about as damaged as it would be after just coloring it like a regular color. Considering I do twice. I only waited like 12 hours in between colors. It'S not really damaged at all. Obviously, as you can see, did lift the color really really well and, like I said my hair was dyed, a really dark color. So if you have color in your hair, I wouldn't worry too much about it. I think that this definitely will work for you. I mean if you have like layers and layers and layers of really dark brown, or even if your hair is dyed black. I don't really know how well it would work. I mean you're, probably gon na - have to do it several times before. You can really lift it to this bright of a color, but that you're gon na have to kind of be the judge. For yourself, and just I mean try it out, I guess and see if it works. Like I said before, if your hair is virgin hair, you can definitely just get away with using one box, I'm just doing it once a natural hair is about probably this long. Maybe - and it is pretty thick, but I was able to only use one box each time I colored it and I did have quite a bit left over and then even for my extensions, which these are 18 inch extensions. I was able to just use one box. So if your hair is pretty long or it's just really really thick, you might be able to do away with one box, but I would say, get two just to be on the safe side and if you don't end up using the second one, you could always Return it, but if your hair is short or just really thin, one box is plenty. I'Ve done a lot of research on red hair. I know that it's supposed to be like really really hard to upkeep, so we'll just see how long I can tolerate this. So far I love it. I think that it is a really flattering color on me. I don't know, comment down below and let me know what you think if you like this color on me or if you prefer the dark hair or whatever I really like it. I think I'll probably keep it for a while and in the future and may do a video showing you how I retouch my hair, how I kind of keep up with red and all that kind of stuff. So if you are just in saying that also, let me know, of course, if you have any questions or if there's anything that I forgot to mention in this video leave it down below and I will be sure to answer all of them. But please thumbs up this video if you found it helpful and if you like this color on me is, I will see you the next time. Thank you for watching you
Comments
MelanieMonroee: After watching soooo many videos , researching dyes , and watching this video in particular a million times ... I finally did it :D my hair is now this color. Thank you !
Sam Vay: I'm glad you found this helpful! Ok.. 1) I would go with at least 4 boxes to be on the safe side. It's always a better idea to get more than what you think you might need. If you don't end up needing to use all of the boxes, you can always save them for later when you do a touch-up. 2) There are semi-permanent brands like Manic Panic that you can use. Semi-permanents won't lift your hair color though to make it bright red. You'll get more of a red tint. If you want your hair like mine...
China Ellis: This is literally by far the best tutorial for dying your hair red, and I'm pretty sure I've seen like a million! So I hope your way will work on my hair, and see how it goes. Just wanted to let u know that this is by FAR one of the better tutorials on youtube for dying hair red!
Sam Vay: Thank you :) And yes, when I was researching how to get my hair this color, I read that blonde hair will just turn pink (that's part of the reason why I got light brown extensions instead of blonde). If you want to try it again, try dying your hair a light brown color first so you have a base on your hair (blonde hair can't absorb red). And if your skin is very fair, I would try going with a darker red so it doesn't wash you out. Hope this helps! :)
Amber Lynch: That hair color looks amazing on you! Im doing mine right now, thanks for the tips girl
Sam Vay: You'll just have an ombre red. My hair was ombre before I went red for the second time, and I liked how the ombre red looked. You can watch my FAQ video to see how it looked. If you want it to all be the same color and brightness, then just apply it to the dark parts first and then put it on the lighter parts 10 minutes or so before washing it all out.
Lana Lee: Love this video. I dyed my hair tonight using 2 boxes of red. I definitely need to redo it one more time to get it all even.
Morgan Stafford: I stumbled upon this video in an impulse moment of contemplating dying my hair bright red again, and I just have to say this girl is really alluring! She's gorgeous and easy going. I could listen to her videos all day.
OURtogether: dying my hair red today, and also making a video!!! ahhh I just found your channel through that reason! and I am loving it! turned on my notifications alert to tell me whenever you upload! :))
1dalida1: This is explained PERFECTLY! Great video ! Great tips too :D
marie perreault: that colour looks amazing I've got mine done as well in magenta and I love love love it!!!
Katie Arch: Hi! I have been wanting to dye my hair for the longest time. I had finally found the perfect color (the one you used in your video- L'oreal Magenta). I fell in love with it immediately!! I was so eager to do it but i realized, I don't want permanent. I don't want to worry about not liking it and I also really like my light brown color now and would eventually like to go back to it. I was wondering, is the dye REALLY really permanent or will it fade and eventually fade back to my original color without having to wait for my hair to grow out? Sorry for rambling and thank you so so much!! Your video was REALLY helpful!!!
Nikki uh no: Your video gave me everything I needed. I didn't want to bleach my almost black hair AND I have human hair extensions. I personally like the red hair on you better then the dark and blonde. It goes great with your complexion. Thanks a million:)
Yva Rodríguez Aquino: Hi!!! I have really dark and color resistant hair. I wanted to dye it dark red ( i mean not so bright but still red) and i went to a professional stylist but the color didnt come out as I wanted ( it was really dark, nobody noticed I dye it). Then i try out Garnier hair dye, but still, you cant even see any red on my hair. What tone do you recommend for me, if as I said I dont want really bright, Magenta or Red?? Thank you so much for your help.
KayMarie83: Beautiful video and the color looks gorgeous :) I've had black hair most of my life but I've gone red/red once before using Manic Panic from Hot Topic and it worked. However, I have been coloring my hair black since 2009 and have been itching to try red again without bleaching my hair considering how course, thick and long it is and will be. Thank you for this video and I'm going to attempt this ~
Sam Vay: Hey, Meredith! I have a separate video talking about that more called "Tips for Living With Red Hair" but basically, I just avoided washing it as much as possible, which prolonged the fading process, and by the time it was faded enough that it needed to be refreshed (about 4 or 5 weeks later), my roots were grown in enough to just retouch the entire thing with the same product. I know other people use Manic Panic or other semi permanent dyes though.
Bianca Chavez: This video was exactly what I was looking for, very informative, and it showed the actual process. Good job
Sam Vay: ...use the l'oreal dye that I used the first time. You can use the semi-permanent color to touch it up later on (that will also be a lot less damaging than continuously using the l'oreal for touch-ups). 3) It shouldn't be noticeably damaging at all if your hair is virgin, so don't worry! I recommend that you watch my video on tips for living with red hair before you make the change (if you haven't already). The link is in the description of this video! :) Good luck!
gabby chumoi: This really worked I have a very dark hair not dark brown. So I dyed my hair deep auburn first then week later I dyed my hair with the color magenta only and my hair is red u can totally tell even by pictures I was ganna use red dye the next day but my hair came out perfect without so I didn't use it. It's been two days now with my red hair and I love it. Thanks for uploading and u very pretty.
caroline thomas: Just found you by googling red hair and have been watching your videos ever since. So glad I found you, I have been wanting to dye my hair red for a year now, but didn't want to bleach it. So now I am going to try it this weekend your way!!! Fingers crossed it comes out looking as good as yours!
Shelby Birmingham: I looked for hours to find a good video on how to make dark hair (mine was almost black with a slightly lighter regrowth) into a burgundy/cherry cola red and finding your video literally saved me. It helped me figure out how much/what process to use and yours looks great. thank you!!
Mayra Mourning: I love Magenta I just dyed mine about a month ago and I love it! It looks great on you ! :)
Kara Zemanek: This is perfect. Thank you for posting it. Im going to try it this week with new extentions. My roots grow fairly slow, but when I want to touch up the color, what do you suggest? I know you used both red and magenta. But do you think I can just dye my roots? Or would I have to do my entire head for a touch up? Thanks for all your help. amazing video!
Kassandra Vasquez: Love love this video I just have one quick question. How long did the color last before you had to touch up?
Sam Vay: Thanks for the suggestion! I actually mentioned that in my newest video on how to maintain red hair :) I never tried it myself because I wasn't planning on keeping the color for very long, but I've heard of others doing that.
nikolina p: Really liked this tutorial. I am definetely going to try this I really like the fuchsia undertone in your extensions, I think thats really cool. Also, gorgeous eyes, the red really makes them pop! :)
Sam Vay: Hi Cailyn, I have a video called "Tips for Living With Red Hair" where I describe what I did to maintain and retouch the color! But basically, I would use the hicolor hilights for my roots every 4 - 6 weeks, and a semi permanent dye in between to brighten the color.
Cailyn Feliz: Absolutely love your hair! The first time I did it it came out perfect, but now 1 month later the color is so dull and coppery... Was wondering what you use for roots and to refresh color without redoing the loreal hicolor... Please let me know. Thanks!
Gabby Smith: After it starts to fade and such does your hair go back to normal?
Me: Wow ! Thank you so much I've been searching all over for a video that really answered the questions I had before actually trying this myself!! Love it !
Nichole Bohler: Great vid. Super informative. I'm going for it! Dark brown to bright red. Your hair looks amazing. Wish me luck!!
Paula Garcia: This video was the point of decision making for me. I'm dying my hair red this Saturday. :) I was nervous about it because my skin isn't exactly white or pale, it's kind of like your skin tone, and it looks great on you so I'm not too nervous about it anymore. Thank you. :)
Sam Vay: Yeah, when I said "without bleach" I meant without pre-bleaching. And I already used this several times between touch-ups and also just changing my hair back and forth from brown to red.. It didn't do too much damage to my hair considering I used it probably 5 times within 4 months. Not compared to other things I've done to it in the past lol. And I honestly didn't experience THAT much fading, but I also only wash my hair once a week. I think it just varies person to person. Thank you though :)
netzeli: i’m dying my hair rn i’m so scared it’s gonna be too bright jesusss take me
Sam Vay: You're very welcome! :) And they're well worth buying! Mine have lasted me for YEARS, even after coloring them multiple times, bleaching them, constantly applying heat to them, wearing them to the beach, etc.
Broken Week: Hey! This is Iris of the band, Broken Week! I've been looking to dye my hair that color without bleaching. I've never dyed my hair before, so I have a question: how much damage will this cause to my hair? I have dark brown hair, if that helps.
The AshKardash: this exactly how i dye my hair! I'm re-dying my hair red with this product because I'm natural and it took forever my hair to lift. But thanks for the tutorial !
Sam Vay: For my real hair, I just used the magenta color. For my extensions, I decided to mix magenta with red because I kind of thought since they were lighter, they would pick up the pink undertones of the magenta more, and I didn't want that. It was just to sort of customize the color a little bit more. It's totally up to you though which color(s) you choose to use.
shelby Cutie: Definitely dying my hair red
Kasey Perry: Thank you so much for this tutorial, I've been looking for a product that would lift my hair to a red burgundy color and I also wear clip in extensions as well and was unsure of how to go about coloring them. your video was very helpful, thanks again.
Anton Polakovs: Love love love this colour. Gonna do my hair this colour next. <3
Sam Vay: I'm glad you found it helpful :) And no, I have not tried Luxy, but I've seen a lot of people say that they got a really bad set and that the customer service was terrible, so they had a hard time getting their money back. I'm just skeptical of ordering hair online in general. But I can 100% promise you that the Sally's ones are fantastic. I've tried a lot of other brands and been wearing clip-in and sew-in extensions for 7 years now, and I always go back to the Sally's brands.
brittany kazmirski: I used the l'oreal high color on my hair about a month ago, and my hair didn't seem to get any damage from the 30 developer. The worst thing that happens with my hair is it falling out more when I brush it while wet (which I just learned isn't so great for your hair, oops) But when I bleached my hair a year ago A LOT of it fell out (because I did it twice in the matter of two weeks) I wanted to us the L'oreal on my hair again but I'm worried that it will do the same thing that the bleach did, but it shouldn't, right?
Oomie Says: I've visited your channel before but idk I've just fallen in love with it randomly at 2am. Lmao (:
Bianks Smith: This colour looks amazing on you!
Allison Dix: Love the color! Hopefully my hair will come out just as gorgeous! :D
yeahthatsTay🤍: Yasss thank you soooo much . I Reeally want to dye my hair blue but my hair is dark brown & because the blue I want is lighter I knew it would come out too dark :( but it seems like it worked really well for you so thank you & hopefully I can give this a try! (:
Victoria McAlphine: i love this hair color :) i only did a few strands of my hair a wine red color at the salon and it took very well so im assuming this color will work fine. my hair is light brown and black.
Hajraa C: I used the exact same products, I had dark brown hair like a blackish brown and I used the l'oreal highlights in Magenta and 30 Vol developer , my roots deff came out brighter than the rest , the rest of my hair was like a brownish red , so I went back to Sally's and got a cherry lush color to dull my roots and I ended up using the cherry lush color on my entire hair and it came out purplish red , which was so cute so 3 weeks later I re dyed my hair using the magenta highlights again and now it's a nice red color .
HorTenziA: Thank you, it works for me perfectly my hair is gorgeous ❤️
Smokie696969: question for you...my hair looks the exact same as yours did after your first round of dying it. I love your color and was wondering if you could share with me what color you used in what order. or did you mix the red and magenta together? I'm planning on doing a second round today I really don't want to walk around with me hair looking like it does lol. thanx so much! :)
Sam Vay: Thank you! It depends on how much you wash it and how much effort you put in to making the color last. I had to touch mine up after 4 weeks.
vanessa dale: Great tutorial! Worked for me thanks samantha!
Jennifer P.: You used 30 volume developer in fact this is like BLEACHING your hair...
Hailee Vegas: Yes I did that and it turned out beautiful!!
Cailyn Feliz: Thanks for the response! Last question, what brand & specific color do you recommend for semi-permanent that is as close to the magenta as possible!?? Please let me know, I am retouching tomorrow! Thanks!
Moon Kitten: You have the best video out in the internet. No one else tells exactly how to do it and how long and stuff. Thank you for making this video
Lola Hernandez: This the best tutorial on getting your hair red without bleach- and I've seen tons. Now I'll attempt it. My hair is dyed black but I lifter some of it last week.
bryanne isabella: mmmm, I don't like it. Its very messy.
Glenda Menjivar: i totally loved the red on my hair i did it exactly like this about 2 years ago . it was FAB but yes very hard to maintain && does get all over my light color clothing while wet .
ShannyUriex3x: I used this dye a lot of times and the first time I used it my hair looked great and didn't seem damaged. But because red hair is hard to keep you have to dye it often so that's the part that damages it :l After putting products in it looked fine though
Sam Vay: Thanks! I would say you could either try using a 20 volume developer or try the hicolor line. It's called L'Oreal HiColor.. It's basically the same thing, but they have some deeper/darker red shades.
Joanne T: I just dyed my hair today and everything looks good except my roots seem a little lighter than the rest the areas, and there's one little section that seems untouched by the red so it's just a brownish color. It doesn't look too bad, but should I try the magenta like you did? Thanks!
Anne-Louise Oates: It's misleading to say that you achieved the red colour without bleaching. You used a developer which contains peroxide, peroxide is a bleaching agent. It is impossible to dye dark hair a light vibrant colour without a bleaching agent.
Bellaitaliana7: So pretty! Thank you and I just love this color!!! I am blonde and I attempted this once and I turned pink. Like light pink. Lol. I'm too fair I'm afraid to look good in a red. I'd love to do something different though.
TheGlamourGhoul: I like how you explained everything. It looks really good. Thanks for the vid!
Sam Vay: I didn't experience that much damage... It all depends on your hair type though. Anytime you use a high volume developer, it's going to damage your hair to some extent. But I personally love this stuff.
TheSuperFriendly: This color is very flattering on you! Great tutorial.
Gelar93: Wow you literally stole Nichole Guerriero 's video
JaspreetKaur: Alright thank you so much for this video because you've answered all the questions I had when it came to this color.
Deanna4you: Just to let you know, this product works! I use it all the time! This is how I got my hair red (if you can see from my picture). But, I used the magenta. I used only 2 magentas and a 30 volume creme developer. I love it!!!
TheClaireWitchProject: That color looks gorgeous on you!
Lifeofnilooo: Hey, thank you for the video. I thought there was no other way than bleaching my hair! Xxx
Kattaccino: Thank you so much for this!! Much more helpful than most videos. A few quick questions, though. I'm kind of a wuss when it comes to dying my hair, lol: 1) I have medium-thickness medium/chestnut hair down to my bum. How much dye would you recommend, to get your color? 2) I've only ever dyed my hair with henna; that usually fades beautifully. If I don't want to maintain the red for a long time, will it look awful? Do you know if they have a demi-permanent version?
Sam Vay: Thank you :) The extensions are the 18 inch Euronext in the color Chestnut Brown. They're from Sally's.
Sam Vay: It depends how much hair you have.. I only needed one box each time I did my real hair. I just bought red and magenta to customize the color. It's up to you how many boxes and which colors you get.
karenstyles90: Thank you!!!!!! ...by far my favorite tutorial...very informative :)
Sam Vay: Yeah, you're right. I've used color removers before, and that is another option.. that's probably a better idea too for people who have several layers of dark color in their hair. Thanks for your suggestion!
Samantha Webb: I had the ion red color on my hair about 2 years ago, but since then it's been bleached. I dyed it black almost a year ago, and it's only been dyed black one more time since then, which was about 6 months ago. I had a red/brown put on at a salon maybe 2 months ago but it had no effect where there was no lift. Do you think this red will work for me? REALLY don't want to bleach it first. Thanks :)
tastyvamp: so glad i found your video (a year later...but still) :) i had my hair REALLY BRIGHT RED but had to dye it dark because of work and now I want to dye it again but magenta...tks for sharing all your experience xoxo
MimiDicious: I like the hair on you! nothing wrong with standing out ! :) and you did a good job! definitely !
browneyedgirl1100: Hey Samantha:) Thank you so much for this awesome and informative video:) My hair is dyed with Blue Black permanent color. I want to do the L'oreal Hicolor Hilights in Magenta. Should I use a color remover beforehand? I want a dark magenta purple red like yours...Do you think the color remover would make it bright red? I don't want bright red. Looking forward to hearing from you:) Thank You So Much:)
Renata C. Souza: I LOVED your hair on this red!!! gorgeous!!!!
Mariam: did you mix new dye for your roots the first time, or did you use the same dye? your hair is gorgeous btw!
Creative Queen: Love the color!! Very helpful. Thanks!
Sam Vay: Well I had only used magenta on my hair in this video.. If you look at my "Red Hair FAQ" video, my hair was colored with only Red there. So you can decide which one you're trying to go for based off of that. Magenta won't make your hair purple at all though.. As you can see from my hair, it's red with a little bit of a pinkish undertone.
Nath: Love the colour, it really suits you. I have the same colour, I only changed to it a few weeks ago. I did it myself & am dreding doing the regrowth. Not sure how to tackle that, because the original colour needs a lift.
amy louise: this colour on you suits you really well i love it :)
Gill Mccall: LOVE the color on you. Thanks for sharing the info.
mimi b: I've always used the L'oreal HiLights color but my hair just looks red only right under the sun. This is such good info to get it brighter. I shall actually try this because I don't want to bleach my curly hair, cause it might ruin my ends. thanks Samantha!
Sam Vay: I think with my Sally's card it came out to around $5 or $6.. On Sally's website it's listed for between $6 - $7 plus shipping. Amazon has it even cheaper. I'm not sure how much it will cost for shipping though or how much other places sell it for.
Shamsa Guled: amazing review and explaination. thanks for the help 3 just got the color.
Sam Vay: Thank you! I love it too. It's my new favorite hair color :) Have you been having a hard time with it fading so far?
petitejuls: great video sam!! and you sure can rock that red hair :)
lac92576: Love the colour! Everyone on here is preaching about this and that, but if it works for you, go ahead and do it!
devinmecheee: If you wanted to dye your hair more red instead of magenta, how many boxes of red would you recommend?
juls: look amazing in this color!& I'm dying my hair this color Wednesday
Lailai cx: I died mine that color with no bleach. I mixed the magenta with red and it turned out really pretty (:
browneyedgirl1100: Hi:) Did you wash your hair and condition it before using hicolor highlights or just shampoo it? If I condition it two days before, will that cause the color to take unevenly(as opposed to just shampoo, no conditioner)?
Jenni Esett: I love this so much ! I really want this to be my hair color but since my hair isn't that dark should I use the same ratio?
