my new hair color...

-
don't you just hate it when you try to save a little moolah by doing things on your own, and then ending messing up and getting ready to spend more to make up for that stupid mess you did?

okay, so the story is i have been planning to have my hair colored again since it has been 7mos already since my last visit to the salon. to save a bit, i wanted to do the coloring for my base color and just have the salon do my highlights (my previous hair color has a base color, and 2 highlight colors). i wanted to go for a dark brown to cover up the blonde highlights so i bought the shade "Dark Mahogany Ash Brown" and guess what happened:


it looks black! i swear i've been trying to wash off the color since last night, even woke up early to see my color in broad daylight...and geesh, it is black. not really black BLACK though, but damn, this isn't dark brown! IT'S BLACK! I remember the last time i had my hair colored with black, i ended up sporting a "boy's cut" for the next few months.

arrrgggh...i know i look like the wicked witch of the west with this color. i am not used to having black hair! and i am sure people would ask me what the hell happened with my hair...sniff. even my mom told me to get it fixed...waaaaah! now i'll end up spending more.

grrr, i hate it!
and guess the other stupid thing that i did?

i'm left with color stains on the sides of my face...and ugh, there's also some on my forehead. waaaahhhh! stupid me forgot to put something to avoid stains...

i promise i'll let things like this on the hands of professionals!

I think the black is fine. the stains will go away in time. I believe you did a good thing for saving.

Hun, you will always need to use a lighter base shade to get the desired effect because you have such a dark base. Also, it is impossible to achieve the same highlights that a salon can.

As My-My says, the stains will fade in time.

Double process hair coloring is such a pain that I leave it to the salon. The salon can re-tint your hair and add highlights too...good luck!!

sis, its not you, but its really difficult to choose your own color when you try to color your hair on your own....if your hair is light, you really have to choose an almost "BLONDE" hair color just to get the "light brown look" I really like your hair though, long hair suits you too!!!!

Oh no, I'm sorry about your experience. I hope the professionals can fix it and make your hair the color you desire!

  It's almost Christmas...just two days away and honestly, I don't feel like being festive.  I am going through A LOT these past weeks and as much as I want to say I am okay, I just can't.    How can one be okay when that one person whom you thought would stay with you no matter what just decided to drop everything that has got to do with you and just move on?  How can one be okay when you're told right in your face that he's in love with someone else and that he can't be with you anymore.  How can one be okay when despite everything you still want to hold on and fight for him, but he has given up already...given up on you and given up on the idea of you two being together.   We've been thru a hell lot.  Our relationship is far from being perfect. But despite that, we still find ourselves back together.  And I know we can still get through this, this time. But like what he said, things just happened. It was so fast it was like eve...

It has been more than a month since I started using this underarm whitening gel from Gluta-C (read about its launch here ).  So did it work, or not? I'll make you bitin muna , first let me tell you what the product is all about... ^_^ Gluta-C Intense Whitening Underarm & Bikini Skin Whitening Gel Formulated with Glutathione, Vitamin C and Bellis Perennis (Daisy) Flower extract, it lightens dark spots, prevents melanin formation and visibly whitens underarms and darker toned areas (bikini area, inner thighs, elbows and knees) for even-toned skin.   It also has Green Tea extract and other moisturizing agents to hydrate the skin, keeping it soft and smooth to the touch.   There's also protein to help slow down hair regrowth, reducing the frequency of shaving or plucking.  Hair grows back softer and thinner too, making coarse stubbles a thing of the past. I think most of us suffer from uneven skin tone on our underarms and bikini are...

GLOWW... your way to a younger, brighter and pinkish skin...

There was a time when I was such a sucker for anything whitening. I've tried both IV and oral glutathiones, and of course, whitening lotions. Years passed by and my reasoning went beyond whitening. Having an incurable case of insomnia, not to mention TOO MUCH stress from work, my skin needs a lot of help to keep it from aging prematurely. Besides, who would want to look a lot older from your age? When news about the possible bad effects of glutathione spread on the news, I eventually stopped...i tried to keep a healthier lifestyle instead like eating more veggies and fruits, TRYING to sleep early and keeping myself away from stress. But as I get older, I realized I need more than that. I need supplements to help me fight aging and to stay looking young. I was just thinking about what skin vitamins to try when the PR for GLOWW contacted me. It was such a good timing, really. So what is GLOWW ? GLOWW is not actually a whitening pill. It's a skin supplement to he...
