I moved to Henderson from California last year. My hair had been through so much. I was blonde (bleached) and went red. Did that for two years every month on my own. Then decided to go violet. I had to bleach it 5 times in a row to get it all white first. The violet was a pain so I did that for only a month. Then back to red. Then decided a few months ago to use hair color removal, thinking it's been over a year so my natural color will be underneath. It wasn't. It was just white with orange. I looked like a cat, so I had to put red back on top of that. Then I waited until that was really faded, and went to Monica. I told her I want to be my natural color. Because I"m 47 now, and I think some silver or gray is coming though and I want to see that. I absolutely love this color. When my hair is wet, it looks brown. Then when it dries it has red highlights in it. Now I don't have to color my hair every month. It can just grow out it's normal color.
