Latest adventures in purple hair

[kellinator]

I really did intend to go back to Feria for my next dye job. I mean it. Their conditioners rock. Whereas the Garnier Nutrisse seems to have dried out my hair. At least I think so.

But then... I saw the latest, newest shade of Garnier Lumia. Plum Orchid.

It's plum, people. Not cranberry. Not burgundy. Not reddish-plum. Plum. Real, live, purple plum.

*jumps up and down in anticipation*

And indiepunkrock and I have already practiced my defense: "It came in a box!" (The idea being, as long as you buy it at the grocery store and not Junkman's Daughter it should be work-safe.)

Anyone used Lumia before?

I've used it...it gives killer highlights, but the staying power is kinda iffy. I had to touch up after two weeks! That could be my stupid hair though, it doesn't take dye very well. I did black about three weeks ago (which from what I hear is extremely permanent on most people) and I already need to dye again!

I'm having trouble telling how my hair relates to dye. Right now it appears to be a brassy red-brown that I don't care for, but I don't know if that's a combination of all the dyes I've used on it lately or just plain bad luck.
