I have mousy brown and bought semi permanent LIVE pillar box red, have had red permanent highlight before and rthey really suited me. I was intending to leave it in for a short time just to give a bit of a tint rather than trying for the full effect.
BUT, reading the instructions it says that if you leave your hair damp it will stain clothing. As someone who hasn't blow dried my hair for...years? as it makes it too dry and frizzy, I thought I could suck it up for a bit, but what about if yuo go out in the rain, or get sweaty exercising? Am I going to look like the bastard child of Carrie and Rudi Giulianni?
