Is the rumor true that putting a second semi-permanent color over the first makes the first one permanent?I had a first-time-color disaster even though I went to a salon. Here's the short version of the story: My hair is ash and my skin coloring matches (I'm a Winter, if you're into that). I just wanted to cover some gray (foolish me!) and I gave in to this "expert's" sales pitches. I insisted no red, but the stylist did what she wanted and I wound up brown with carrot highlights. I looked like I had measles. I looked like my mother. I looked awful. I cried, and my husband couldn't stand hearing that and sent me back the same day to complain. She plopped me in a chair and gave me dark color with purple/magenta highlights. I'm a 45-year-old business owner about to do some public speaking & teaching. I was shocked. I'd made the unfortunate remark, trying to explain about colors: "I'd rather have purple than orange!" so she got revenge and did this to me. I got a refund from management, but 11 weeks have passed. The second color has faded (the black/purple that made me look like a drug addict). But I still have a sharp red line an inch & a half from my scalp and red highlights throughout. Here's what I'm almost afraid to ask: Does this mean I have to wait 3 years before this color fades?Now I dearly love that silver poking up all over my scalp along with my beloved natural ash with golden highlights! I'll never color my hair again! Please tell me the truth, someone, but I'm hoping it's just taking longer for the initial reds to wash out . . . !!!!!!!Thanks,Lianne
