DYING NATURAL HAIR WITH BOX DYE?!

This week I did something different with my hair.. I know that there is constant negative reviews on box hair dye but during these times how is a girl going to switch up when she wants to? I went through a whole week thought process when I was thinking about dying my hair. First, I thought what brand do I use that is not going to do damage to my hair. I went through all the ones that they have at my nearest walmart because there is nothing else open out here in Radford. I wanted to pick the Creme of Nature brand because I’ve heard really good things about that brand. It’s good for curly hair because that’s their main specialty. I’m in a pretty rural area where they don’t have many diverse products so I went with the best rated ones that they had there which was the Clairol Natural Instincts.

My opinion on the product is actually very positive. First, It is a demi-permanent dye so it says it washes out in 28 washes. It comes with a developer, hair dye, conditioner and gloves. You have to shake the dye and developer together so it’s mixed together equally and you should part your hair or do like me and just put it on however you want. You apply it to dry hair & then keep it in for 20 minutes and then rinse( DO NOT WASH) until the water is clear then you apply the conditioner that they provide and keep it in for two minutes. The dye didn’t have a strong smell to it at all and I was very happy about that. When I first was rinsing it out it felt a little heavy of course but, after applying the conditioner and styling my hair it felt very soft and my curls were very defined.

I was very pleased with this product because no lie, I was a little nervous. The reviews were iffy but I am glad I just went and did it! Black is a natural conditioner so I’m super glad I went with black and I’m thinking about going permanent! It brings out the defintion in my curls. I recommend this product but I suggest doing your research too and what you think is right for your hair!

Let me know if there’s any suggestions for hair dye or comments, concerns anything! Dying your hair is a huge choice to do to your hair especially if you’re growing it or just going natural. I recommend doing a natural color like brown or black if you’re trying to achieve a goal in your hair but have fun! If you want to do it GO FOR IT!!
