One Of These Things Is Not Like The Other

Today felt like a good day to dye my hair and I was looking to go darker so when my husband ran to the store I asked him to pick me up a box of soft black hair dye. I always use Feria by L’Oreal because I like the color options and I always like the way the color comes out. It’s usually close to what’s on the box, too. So when B called me to ask me which color to get, I went with a new one called Violet Soft Black.

Feria Violet Soft Black

Pretty, right?

I was really excited about this color because I think it’s gorgeous. And I was really looking forward to a change. So you can imagine my concern when the dye went on bright red. Like maybe a shade darker than Ronald McDonald red. The whole time I was waiting for the dye to take, I kept hoping it would darken up. And it did. Just not to black.

My Hairs

Not Violet. Or black.

So, this color my hair is now. It’s nowhere near what the color is on the box. Like, not even a little close. But all things considered, it’s not a bad hair color. And I kind of like it. Which is a good thing because it’s permanent hair dye. It’s just not what I paid for. So…consider this my public service announcement to think twice before buying this box of hair dye. Unless you want red hair and not soft violet black.
