Robert Craig

I was really excited to try Robert Craig’s line of haircolor. With no peroxide or ammonia it is supposed to be more gentle on your hair with very natural results. So I ordered a box of Chocolate Brown and hoped for the best.

For the last several months my hair stylist has been highlighting my hair with auburn highlights.. but I was getting a little tired of the upkeep and since she cancelled my last appointment (for the 2nd time, she cancels me all the freaking time!!) I decided to just dye over everything and get back to my natural dark brown shade. My first mistake was not doing a strand test… but I thought, dark brown.. how hard can this be? I’ve colored my hair before, never had a problem. The color itself was very easy to mix and apply, but after being on my head for 30 min. my hair was a nice shade of soft BLACK! Crap. So I washed my hair with dish detergent (which was supposed to pull some color out). Still soft black. Washed it 5, 6 times, still soft black. Hopefully it will fade over the next few weeks and I’ll try it again with a light or medium brown and see if that is better. Another (horrifying) option is to use a product called Colorfix which will strip the permanent color out of my hair. Of course then my hair will be orange until I color it back. Or I could admit defeat and go to a professional to fix it.. nah, let’s just hope it fades!!!
