Goodbye Pastel Hair + Hair Dye Review

I first dyed my hair lilac during my freshman year of highschool. After that, I rarely went an entire year without dying my hair. In the span of four years my hair has gone through eight home bleaching and has gone through almost every color on the color chart. It was lilac, it was blonde, it was silver, it was pink, it was mint. The sad thing about colored hair is that it's hard to maintain. My lilac hair required bi weekly coloring sessions and I only washed it once every three days. Since I'm going to university next year, I decided to dye my hair a more mature and darker color. So on one fateful night I went from this pastel mint. Please ignore my roots. I know they're horrendous, I'm growing my hair out.

To this dark purple

The hair dye that I used was the Garnier Nutrisse Nourishing Hair Creme in #42 Dark Burgundy. 

The color looked fine the first few days. The dye was easy to apply, although very messy. The dye has that kind of ammonia smell most hair dyes have and it kind of makes my eyes water. My hair, however, did not feel damaged at all after I dyed it and it actually felt quite healthy. The biggest downside is that this hair dye does not last long at all. I wash my hair every other day now, since it's not as damaged, and the hair dye has faded significantly after about two weeks. 

I like the faded look too, but it's not something I really wanted. I'll probably let it fade out a little bit more and then try out another hair dye.
