I ended up dying my hair last night with the hair dye I posted about yesterday. It was the Clairol Nice n' Easy Colorblend Foam in the shade #4 Dark Brown. Prior to dying my hair, my hair color was an ashy, medium brown with a bunch of golden brown-auburn tones towards the bottom. This dye changed my color to a very dark, rich brown. I really like it, and I'm hoping it's not going to fade considerably once I wash my hair.

As for the dye, I don't think I'd purchase it again. I thought the idea of using a foam was kinda cool, but I actually find it a little inconvenient to use - especially when using a brush to coat the roots. Also another inconvenience, by the looks of the container, it looks like a pump - but it's not. You have to squeeze the bottle for the foam to dispense. Not a big deal, but it's a little awkward. I waited the full 25 minutes, conditioned and rinsed. It left my hair feeling really dry. I could barely get a brush through my hair. On the plus side, it seemed to take well to my gray hairs, and the color looks great. I'll just have to make sure to load up on the deep conditioners. I'm almost done with my Aussie Deep Conditioner. I think I might pick up the "It's a 10" Miracle Leave in Conditioner. I saw it today at ULTA in a pink bottle for Breast Cancer Awareness. (For more info, click here) Anyone recommend it?

I bought this cute little Halloween pajama for Rocky a few days ago at Target. He looks so adorable, but he is always so full of energy, I could not get a decent picture of him. The first picture was the best I could do for now. lol
He looks like Alfalfa.
And, here he is being his typical watch dog self. I was outside on the patio trying to get his attention, but he kept ignoring me. Typical guy.
Talk to you all soon!
You're so beautiful :) Awwe, and your dog is so cute!
ReplyDeleteYou should look into Macadamia Natural Oil Deep Repair Hair Masque at Ulta. I have been using it on my dry and damaged hair for months now and I love it! Just did a blog post about it not too long ago.
your hair is so pretty that color, i think its perfect for fall!!!
ReplyDeleteand rocky is adorable <3 super cute costume

I highly recommend the It's a 10 leave in conditioner. I dye my hair to a very light (white) blonde color so it is pretty dry. This makes my hair so soft and hydrated. I have also heard very good things about using the Macadamia Repair Masque but have never tried it.
ReplyDeleteAlso, love the dark hair color! Very pretty :) and the cute doggie sweater!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! I want to dye my hair back to dark brown again, its closest to my natural color & I recently lightened it and kind of hate it! Now I'm reay to re-dye!
ReplyDeleteLove the dark hair bright lip combo!! I know that Muhsine over at Bubblegarm loves 'it's a 10'...your puppy is so cute!
ReplyDeletelooks good, I need to change my color back to brown.
ReplyDeleteTry the Nice N Easy regular version - the foam is messy. However, NNE definitely gives a great colour! Cute Halloween outfit!
ReplyDeleteYour hair looks great that color, I've been wanting to dye my hair a dark brown, but black is so hard to take off..&& your dog is sooo cute! Love his outfit :]
ReplyDeleteBeautiful hair color !

You look fabulons Natty :) and the new haïr color is so pretty.
ReplyDeleteps: Rocky is a cutie :)
Adorable dog! Love the hair color, looks chocolatey. I heard the John Frieda foam color gives really nice results as well
ReplyDeleteHe's so cuteee! I love the hair color and the lip color. And his cute little doggy costume :3
ReplyDeleteRocky is sooo cute! He reminds me of Albi so much :) I think they even have the same crazy temperament, lol! Your hair colour is just gorgeous, as are you! Love it!! It's so rich and beautiful! xxx
ReplyDeleteI think this dark color is perfect for you!! Back when I used to use box dye before I started mixing my own dye I would buy Nice n Easy natural. It's ammonia free. The stuff still stank like nobody's business but it did less damage to my hair. I have used other Nice n Easy dyes too, they're great as well.
ReplyDeleteYour dog just looks too cute in that costume!
The color is great, bummer it makes your hair feel dry! Have you tried Colorsilk? It covers my random gray hairs and leaves my hair really soft with the included conditioner, PLUS it's cheap as chips. BTW your dentist must love you, you have really nice-looking teeth!
ReplyDeleteYou are ROCKING that rose hip lip color! I really like L'oreal Mega Browns hair color. They are available at Sally's.
ReplyDelete1st of all, that lipstick looks so good on you! 2nd, I love your hair AND your hair color. And 3rd, your doggie is adorable! :)
ReplyDeleteyour hair looks beautiful dark like that, i plan on coloring my hair a shade or 2 darker this week. rocky looks sooo adorable in his costume!! my dog is so weird, whenever i put him in clothes he won't move at all, like 5 min will go by and he will sit there the whole time and not budge even if i offer him a treat. it's like he goes comatose or something lol
ReplyDeleteXo
That colour is really great for you :) I love what it does to you beautiful features :) and your dog is super cute ;)
ReplyDeleteLove your new hair!

You're hair looks awesome, perfect for fall!!
ReplyDeleteI just bought my millionth bottle of the It's a 10 Leave in Conditioner. It is seriously a magic potion for your hair, and I color mine quite often. It takes my hairs from brittle and frizzy to smooth and silky. If you have the extra dough defs pick up the deep conditioner by It's a 10, it's just as amazing.
I find the foam dye fades terribly...within a couple weeks. I use the same color, and I love how one box is enough to cover my whole head I have waist length hair. The dark color looks amazing on you. I find the best at home hair dye I've used is Gosh brand in dark brown....I'm not sure if you have that in the USA, it may be strictly Canadian/UK. :)
ReplyDeleteyour hair is beautiful als alwayssssss... dog is so sweetttttt
ReplyDeleteAwww. Now that's just an adorable dog. Your hair looks very pretty, btw.
ReplyDeleteIt's a ten is a great leave in conditioner. I work at Ulta and we gave samples of it out in a gift bag about two months back and we've got nothing but good feedback. It's pink too! All of our breast cancer pink stuff came out today and the whole store is so cute. Another hair restoration to try is the Ojon Oil, it's normally showcased at the cash register.
ReplyDeleteI love the new hair, and ur dog looks sooooo cute!!!

what happend with your bf are u guys still together ??
ReplyDeleteYou look gorgeous with darker hair! I have also dyed mine darker recently and didn't think I would like it, but I love it!
ReplyDeleteOh and I won't try the Nice n Easy foam, even though I was dying to... Your review has helped me!
Ps... Rocky is so cute!
I love dark, brown hair! My dog's been a pumpkin for Halloween these past few years - yours makes a super-cute skeleton!
ReplyDeleteROCKY!
ReplyDeleteHe's such a sweetheart!
Your hair looks great! Sorry it left it so dry, though. That's a real shame.
It's a 10 is AH-Mazing! It's one of my can't live without products.
ReplyDeleteAw, your dog is so cute : )
ReplyDeleteThat hair colour looks great on you! :) But I haven't heard many good things about that hair dye either.
ReplyDeleteAwww Rocky looks so cute in his little outfit!! Heheheh
I love the dark hair and bright lipstick!
ReplyDeleteI love this hair color on you so much! I think it's the most flattering and it looks AWESOME with your makeup!
ReplyDeletehttp://3girlsblog.blogspot.com/
I cannot even imagine you not looking gorgeous with any hair color, honestly!!! Rocky is so freakin cute in his Halloween outfit :)
ReplyDeleteI hope that you and you're family are doing well... I saw a few days ago on Twitter that you're going through a rough patch.
ReplyDeleteKeep strong doll, I wish you all the best!
xo
I love your hair, you look like Kim Kardashian!
ReplyDeleteI find foam hair dyes uncomfortable to use as well, it's just too messy for me and I find it hard to get the color as close to my roots as I want to.
Great post!

Love the colour. I am not a dark-haired girl, although my roots tell me something different. Just think I look dull and obscenely weird. But no, agree on the foam dye.. Yuk!

ReplyDeletewhere did u go natty???? love your hair! the cut/style how do you do it???
ReplyDelete:( Where are you?
ReplyDeleteHi, where are you??
ReplyDeleteHi Everyone,
ReplyDeleteI know I suddenly disappeared, but it's because there was a sudden tragedy in my family on Oct 2nd. My family and I have been going through a very difficult time. I will return to blogging very, very soon. I'm starting to get back into my regular routine slowly but surely, and I'm anticipating to start posting again within a week or so.
Thank you for all of your best wishes and concerns.
I have more details posted on my Twitter at http://twitter.com/#!/nattyngeorge
Talk to you all soon,
Natty
I use the It's a 10 conditioning spray, and I have very thick, colored, wavy hair that's a pain to get a brush through if it's wet. This stuff is the ONLY product I'll use as a leave in treatment, it makes me hair soft and shiny and easy (or easier, I should say) to work with wet. I say it's the only product because for some reason with most other leave in treatments I feel like my hair is weighed down considerably. It's a 10 doesn't do that at all, definitely recommend!
ReplyDeleteMj
oh natty! I feel terrible! I have checked back to your blog literally everyday waiting for you to update! I know, I'm crazy! haha. But your blog was the very first beauty blog that I have ever read and followed. I actually went back to the very first post when I first found your blog. I am so, so, so sorry to hear about your dad. I am so close to my dad and I cant imagine living without him. In fact just the other day I was watching reruns of ny ink a girl was in getting a tattoo in remembrance of her father. It made me cry just imagining living without my father, I told my mom that if my dad died I wouldnt want to live any longer. Reading your comment and twitter updates brought tears to my eyes. I'm sure this has been a rough time, and I know there really isnt much one can say to make a grieving person feel better. If you are ever in need of a shoulder to cry on, or an ear to listen I am here. My heart and prayers are with you and your family. Feel free to email me, whenever you need or want. kmaclellan01@live.ca Stay strong, darling. Dont lose hope. And keep living. ♥

I love the shaggy style of your hair. It bring out the seductive side your personality. And the color made it more...
ReplyDeleteLove your post! You received an award on my blog..

I love the color. But I agree when I used it, i felt like my hair got drier. Which sucked. But I love the its a 10 conditioner and the leave in spray. Both worked wonders on my hair. Love them.
