Why in the world do we mess with something that works?
<vent>
I had found the proper mixture of Clairol Complements Demi 10A and 8A to use once a month to darken my light blonde ends that fade. It matches about 4 inches of natural growth perfectly!
Well, last night I decided to use 8A only thinking that it might last longer. <sigh> now, my ends are too ash. ARRGGGHHH! I hate the 'waiting to fade' and 'washing like crazy' phases!

I guess if you don't take a chance you'll never know. By taking the chance you could have proved it to be right (though not this time ). When that happens to me (and I don't seem to learn my lesson) -- for example, when I order from VS and get the stuff and send it ALL right back because of poor quality) -- is make a mental note NOT to do that EVER again. Then when the catalog comes and I "forget" I say "No, no, REMEMBER what happened last time!," and I finally trust myself. So, either make a mental note or even write it down. I think it's a pretty good idea myself. Write it on a slip of paper and put it next to the mirror or in the drawer with your comb!

Thanks y'all! And I do know where I went wrong. First of all, if I was going to try darker, I should have mixed it with a Neutral or Gold. Secondly, using a Demi I should have washed and dried my hair first vs coloring hair that had products on it.
Oh well......I will probably try fixing it vs washing and waiting to fade. It's not bad, but I know it's different. And ultimately WE are the ones who fret over it, right? ;)
btw Alayney.....my favorite style of bra is from VS. It's the only one I buy!

Well, I do agree they have SOME good stuff because I did used to have some bras and bottoms that I liked a lot too. I personally just feel their clothing is no good (that's what I was mainly talking about) -- I've just never had any luck with it. But then again, that's not their specialty is it?
