In all fairness, it looked just like the box, but after a day or two, I realized didn’t match my skin tone or ANY of my clothes. On my next visit to Walgreens, which was last Friday, I thought “Hmm, let me try something BRIGHTER, more RED than copper. I can handle copper pretty well so why not red?” It did fade to a pretty color but I really missed the bright glow of it. Here is the day of the dye and then 4 weeks after. It was super bright, but again, all good things come to an end and the artificial color eventually faded. But after 3 months of paying $120 to a salon every 4 weeks to keep up with my red, I did something I haven’t done in 10 years- I picked up a box of artificial dye.įirst, I used Feria Red Copper INTENSE.
