[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes! I'm dark brunette and my hair is similar to this one below. I have ZERO damage. For the record, I also have maybe 3 white hairs.

Some tips:

1) go to a expert colorist who uses olaplex. (S)he'll use olaplex 1 and it reduces the damage to almost none  
2) get olaplex 2 for home use and also k18 hair mask
3) use really good shampoo and conditioner. Use leave in
4) no blow drying. Only air dry

It will be $$$$$, so budget around $150/month on average.

Love this! and this is in the range of what I'm eventually looking to achieve as I'm pretty sure it will take a while.   I don't know if my colorist uses Olaplex - they're a Kerastase + Bumble/Bumble salon. With regards to blow drying, I rarely blow dry because I want to avoid damage - and I wash my hair only once a week.

Thanks again for this![/quote]

This is a very young look, not sure it is going to translate to a middle aged woman.[/quote]

[b]Most middle aged grey hair women (former brunettes I know) that try these shades end up with brassy fried hair.  It might look good the very FIRST time it's colored for a month, but never again.[/b][/quote]

I would be great if someone could weigh in on how accurate this is.  I would think that if you have an expert colorist, this would not happen - assuming the person takes care of their hair to begin with.

I'm the OP who posted the picture similar to my hair. I'm 46 y/o and I have maybe 5 grey hairs, so for me it works. My mom was a light natural blonde, now all grey at 82 y/o, and she colors her hair back to her original color, a natural blonde shade 9, and it looks great. If you are a dark brunette and end up with brassy hair after going lighter, it means that you have a bad colorist who didn't lift your hair enough to get rid of the brassiness.  [/quote]

Then there are way more bad colorists out there than good ones.[/quote]
