L'Oreal Healthy Look Sublime Mousse Permanent Hair Color (shown in Pure Dark Brown)

We've all had that identity crisis stage where we want to have any color of hair but our own, right? Back in my high school days (once I finally convinced my parents to let me dye my hair) I remember feeling the need to change my hair color almost every other week. My natural color is a medium brown, but I have been everything from blonde, to black, to auburn, to half and half. My thirst for change couldn't be quenched.
Lately, I've laid off of the extravagant highlighting, toning, and salon dying and only use box color if I really need to change up my hair.
Box color? You might say. Doesn't that fry your hair? In some cases, yes - it most certainly does. L'Oreal's Healthy Look line of drugstore colors actually claims to nourish and condition your hair while you dye...kiss your crispy ends fear goodbye! But box colors look so obvious - so fake... You are always going to see those people who have no clue what they are doing when it comes to coloring their own hair, which will always leave you a little hesitant towards dying your own hair. But never fear: L'Oreal has really made things easy for us: "You’ll get soft, natural-looking color every time that’s full of healthy shine. Natural never looked so beautiful. Always glossy color, that’s never dull or fake. Like your own color, only better." But what about when my roots start showing? I hate having to dye my hair every other week - it's such a pain! "Healthy Look colors blend in naturally and washes out gradually over 28 shampoos so you never see obvious roots. You’ll stay natural-looking from day 1 until you color again."
Alright - and now the real kicker: Dying my hair at home is such an awful mess. I end up getting dye everywhere and my face and neck have dye marks on them for days afterwards. Your prayers for a mess-free, at home, and wonderfully affordable hair dye have been answered! L'Oreal Sublime Mousse is fabulous - that is really the only way I can put it. Remember those terrible nights after you'd just dyed your hair spent trying to scrub the dye marks off of your face with nail polish remover? Remember them no more: the mess-free Mousse is here. I really didn't believe it until I tried it - a mouse dye? How am I going to be sure that I get even color? How is it even going to work? Although I'm not sure of the chemical specifics, I'll do my best to briefly enlighten you. The color kit comes with a developer, the colorants (in a convenient pump-operated bottle) and a conditioner. After mixing together the developer and colorants, we all know the next dreaded step is sectioning off our hair, right? Not anymore - Mousse is a straight shot. You basically apply it like you would shampoo: pumping the product into your glove-covered hand, and massaging it through your hair, root to tip. No drips. No mess. What more can you ask for?
In addition to the cleanly convinience, I found that the formula was very gentle. My head usually starts to itch or burn when I am using box colors, but I didn't experience either of those unpleasant side effects with the Sublime Mousse. This product really takes the worry out of at-home, self hair coloring (and can save you a significant amount of $$ caching by eliminating all of those salon visits!) If you are looking for a simple, at home hair color kit, definitely give this one a try. While I am trying to stay away from coloring my hair, I still can't resist but return time after time to this product.
