Well, I finally went back to a dark color in my hair. I found a wonderful stylist who explained to me what my proper hair color should be. I was happy to find someone who actually took the time to explain things to me thoroughly. She consulted me on my hair type, color and structure and exactly why my color was not holding. To my amazement, she introduced me to a terrific line of hair products. I knew that Bumble and Bumble was a great line, but was truly amazed at how well this product works! I got my hair done on Tuesday. She used the complete Bumble and Bumble Color Minded line on my hair, including the stylist products. I did not need to redo my hair until Friday night!!! It wasn't greasy, it was weighed down, it wasn't dirty! All I had to do each day was apply a little of the styling creme and I was ready to go! Oh... and the smell is amazing! It stayed with me the entire four days!!!
