Back in May, I had won tickets to Bobby Bones Second Chance Prom in Austin. I was SO excited, as my senior prom sucked hairy monkey balls (I got food poisoning, if that gives you any idea, and I was forced to watch Steven Segal in "The Glimmer Man". *shudder*). I REALLY wanted to dye my hair purple for that night, but my stylist hadn't planned on it and didn't have the color. I have held on to that want....but then I got a job outside of the house and it was frowned upon in a "professional" setting. So I waited on coloring my hair.
Then Vocalpoint asked me to do a test on a new hair coloring product by Nice 'n Easy. They released a non-permanent hair color, one that washes out in up to 28 washes. I was excited because I knew I could finally do something drastic without having to totally commit to the color! Since purple really isn't a color that they carried, I decided on blonde. Afterall, it is the end of summer! So here's how it turned out...
The color I picked:
The results:
My thoughts? Um, no. My hair actually got a darker red (my hair is auburn as it is) than what it was before. The price is between $5.88-$7.94 at the three stores I shopped at to find out what color I wanted (Walmart,Target, and HEB). I am glad that this product was free--otherwise I would be requesting my money back. :(
I was very unhappy with these results. So after a week of sulking over my failed hair color, I went back to the store and got a new box, a different brand, a color I really wanted (closer to purple), and it only cost $2.94. Here's how THAT went:
Needless to say, I am a much happier camper with THIS hair color--and it actually changed the color of my hair!! :) Sometimes, the less expensive product IS the better product! Now, the non-permanent (non-color changing) hair color might work out for some people. But for me, it didn't. I personally don't recommend the Nice 'n Easy hair color. Especially for the price! There are cheaper coloring products that give better results. Gee, if I had wanted to go blonde for cheap, could have used peroxide for better results!! Oh, well--it worked out in the end!!
Happy shopping!
