I am a natural blonde and, a little over 6 months ago, I decided to be a brunette. I love me as a brunette. As my mom said, "Sometimes we are just not meant to be blonde." Imagine that. I think that most women strive to be blonde. I, however, strive to be much darker.
So, I have to go every 3 months and have my hair colored because my hair is so light naturally and, it is very fine so it doesn't hold the darker color as long as I would like it to. This was becoming progressively more and more irritating for me as I could only go about 2-3 weeks with my hair as dark as it is when I first get it done. I only wash my hair every other to every 2 days because it dries out too easily if I wash it every day so, my hair color could get lighter much quicker if I did wash it every day. And, to give you an idea of how much of a change my hair sees in just 3 weeks, I go from a really rich dark chocolate or even the color of molasses, to something a little bit darker than honey. That is somewhere between 2 and 3 shades lighter. That is an awful big change and coloring your hair isn't exactly cheap.
So, the last time I went in to get it colored, I talked to my girl about their color enhancing shampoo and conditioner. They sell Aveda in their salon. She suggested I buy the conditioner since it seems to make more of a difference than the shampoo. So, I got the Aveda Clove Color Conditioner and, it seems to be working. My hair is still a bit lighter than it was when I first left the salon but, it has lasted longer than it would have without the color conditioner.
So, for those of you who go from a light color to a darker color and tend to loose the intensity of your color in just a few washes, try the Aveda Color products and see if they help! I might try the Black Malva Color Conditioner next time as it is supposed to help with black or brown hair. Perhaps it will maintain the exact intensity of my freshly done color better than the Clove. Either way, I am pleased with what it has done thus far.
