: : Hi Larisa,
: : My husband was a blonde and I have noticed that his hair has
: : darkened over repeated applications.
: : My own hair is dark already so I can't speculate on that...lol.
: : there's a pic if you follow the link
:
: hrmm, it looks darker, but also less orange and more red.
: Is that just the difference in how the images were taken, or was
that
: your impression as well?

the first pic (left) was the first application and then hair was
flopped into the scanner, so was hit with the light of 1000 suns as
it was scanned ;)
the second pic (right) was the 3rd application, picture was taken
outdoors.

Even w/ the photographical/gamma differences, yes it has gone from
orangy red to a deeper darker red.
If I get a chance I'll try and take a pic this weekend. The last
application we did, I added turmeric (alot of it...hey, why
not...gotta experiment and it's not like it was on MY hair...hahaha)
and I hated it. It was nearly Bozo red for a while....so no
turmeric in his future. But the turmeric brightness has died down
quite a bit (this was done 2 months ago).
