Re: Changing Hair Colour
As Riya said... I've dyed my hair so many times I almost forgot what my real color looks like! But recently, for the sake of my hair, I decided to go straight black again and keep it that way for a while.
Coloring your hair is a huge makeover, and done properly, can make you feel like a new person. I do recommend getting it done from a highly qualified colorist. Yes, they charge a lot, but it really is worth it. The color they can give you will work with your skin tone and the texture of your hair, as opposed to what you will be able to achieve at home. I've done both home and professional on various occassions, and have always found having it done by a professional just gives a neater, more complimentary outcome.
That being said, DO know that once you color your hair, upkeep is going to drain your wallet. If you thought it cost a lot to color your hair, wait till those roots come out in 3-4 weeks and you have to either re-touch or look ghetto fab, over and over and over.... basically until you decide to go back to your natural color.
Yes, it does damage your hair, that's definitely a con. If you can do a color that requires minimum re-touching, then the damage will be less and won't be so bad. Also, for upkeeps, you can try all-natural hair colorants that are sold at most all organic-specialty stores. Those have no amonia and are much better for your hair.
