True story..a few years back I used to find the Elixer in the Ulta and pretend to test it profusely to troll the staff and patrons.

Now that I’m infinitely more mature (yet youthful and vibrant) I still visit the Elixer. Over time-I realized why I was drawn to this scent. It was a way to upset and passive-aggressively punish the weak and faint of heart; the allergic and sensitive; everyone.

Re: I have mommy issues.

My mom had her own legit business working as a psychic when I was a school age child. She specialized in automatic writing, rune stone, palm, and energy reading.+Her clients would come over and me and my sis would wait upstairs for their readings to be done. There was one client in particular I always recognized by her perfume. She wore Clinique Aromatics Elixer.

Memories of standing on the top of the stairs and listening for it to be done so we could play. I remember thinking of how repulsively vulgar and strong this woman’s scent was. I remember wincing with disgust at how it outlasted her stay by hours. How it superseded the cigarette smoke. It overstayed her welcome.+I could imagine this woman in great detail-despite never seeing her.

She had long natural nails lacquered dusky mauve & lips painted Avon’s Amorous Rose. I remember seeing the lipstick mark left on her Virginia Slims Menthol Light cigarette butt. She kept her hair long, permed, and frizzy. her roots touched up - Miss Clairol Sunlit Brown. She wore a little chunky open-toed heel. In her house hung elaborate macrame and sat a rattan Peacock chair. She jazzercised and drank white wine spritzers.

Elixer to me is the rotten and magnificent unknown. It’s a surreptitious fortune telling in the far south suburbs. It’s musty and arrogant. It’s interfering and lippy. It’s a ruined Saturday. It’s a stranger to wonder about.

It really pisses me off so I bought a bottle.

I wonder if fragantica user UnjustJoan knows that her review for Clinique Elixer is one of my favorite poems.

Everywhere I go in store in Conway clairol nice n easy (a brand I've used since 10th grade, and Revlon Colorsilk is one I've used since 9th grade) in dark brown is sold out or only one box left which was the shade I was dying it as of lately and it's always like this so I guess I will have to pick another shade like medium brown or go back to light brown (my color before dying it was light brown) and leave it light brown until it starts greying then just cover greys.

HAIR COLORING

Hair coloring has transcended its traditional role of covering gray strands; it has become a form of self-expression, a fashion statement, and an art form. In this comprehensive exploration, we delve into the fascinating world of hair salons for coloring, examining its evolution, popular trends, innovative techniques, and the crucial aspects of hair care.

The Evolution of Hair Coloring

Here is an overview of the evolution of hair salons for coloring:

1.Ancient Civilizations:

● Egyptians: Ancient Egyptians were among the first to use hair stylist dye. They used natural ingredients like henna to create red and brown hues.

● Greeks and Romans: These ancient civilizations used various substances, including plant extracts, to lighten and color their hair. They also used lead-based compounds, which were toxic and had adverse health effects.

2.Middle Ages:

● During the Middle Ages, hair coloring fell out of fashion in many Western societies. The use of hair dye was associated with vanity and was often condemned.

3.Renaissance:

● Hairdresser coloring regained popularity during the Renaissance in Europe. Women used various natural ingredients, such as black sulfur, alum, and honey, to color their hair.

4.18th and 19th Centuries:

● The use of bridal makeup and hair dyes became more widespread in the 18th and 19th centuries. In 1863, a chemist named Eugene Schueller created the first synthetic hair dye, which eventually led to the founding of L'Oréal in 1909.

5.20th Century:

● Hair coloring became more accessible and widely accepted in the early 20th century. The introduction of products like Clairol's "Miss Clairol" in 1956, marketed as "the first home hair coloring," made the process more convenient for consumers.

● In the 1970s, punk and counterculture movements popularized

unconventional and vibrant hair colors, contributing to a shift in societal attitudes toward hair experimentation.

6.Late 20th Century to Present:

● Advances in cosmetic chemistry led to the development of safer and more effective hair coloring products. Ammonia, peroxide, and other chemicals became common ingredients in hair dyes.

● The 1990s and 2000s saw a surge in creative and experimental hair colors, with trends such as highlighting, lowlighting, and bold, vibrant shades.

● Today, there is a wide range of hair coloring options, including permanent, semi-permanent, and temporary dyes. The industry continues to innovate with new formulations, techniques, and sustainable practices.

7.Technological Advancements:

● In recent years, there has been a focus on developing gentler and more natural hair coloring products. Ammonia-free and ammonia-activated dyes, as well as plant-based dyes, have gained popularity.

● Technology has played a role in virtual hair color try-ons, allowing individuals to visualize different hair colors before committing to a change.

The evolution of hair coloring reflects changes in fashion, societal attitudes, and technological advancements, showcasing a rich history of human expression and creativity.

Popular Trends in Hair Coloring

Hair coloring trends are ever-evolving, influenced by fashion, celebrities, and social media. Some noteworthy trends in recent years include:

1.Balayage and Ombre:

Balayage, meaning "to sweep" in French, involves hand-painting highlights onto the hair to create a natural, sun-kissed effect. Ombre, on the other hand, features a gradual transition from a darker shade at the roots to a lighter one at the tips. Both techniques offer a low-maintenance, effortlessly chic look.

2.Vivid and Pastel Colors:

Bold, vibrant hues such as electric blue, neon pink, and pastel lavender have gained popularity, especially among the younger demographic. Achieving these vivid colors often requires pre-lightening, making the process more intricate but yielding striking results.

3.Root Smudging:

Root smudging involves softening the contrast between the roots and the rest of the hair, creating a seamless blend. This technique is ideal for those seeking a more natural appearance or looking to extend the time between touch-ups.

4.Natural and Earthy Tones:

Embracing natural shades, such as honey blondes, chestnut browns, and rich reds, has become a timeless trend. These colors complement a wide range of skin tones and offer a classic, sophisticated look.

Innovative Techniques in Hair Coloring

As technology and creativity converge, hair colorists are exploring innovative techniques to push the boundaries of traditional coloring methods:

1.Foilyage:

A fusion of foiling and balayage, foilyage combines the precision of foiling with the natural, blended look of balayage. This technique allows for more controlled placement of highlights and is suitable for clients who desire a customized, multidimensional color.

2.Color Melting:

Color melting involves seamlessly blending multiple shades to create a fluid, melted effect. This technique is particularly effective for achieving smooth transitions between contrasting colors, such as dark roots to lighter ends.

3.Watercolor Hair:

Inspired by the fluidity of watercolors, this technique involves blending multiple pastel shades to create a dreamy, artistic appearance. Watercolor hair allows for endless customization and encourages colorists to unleash their creativity.

Hair Care Essentials for Colored Hair

While the allure of beautifully colored hair is undeniable, proper care is essential to maintain vibrancy and health. Consider the following tips for preserving your colored locks:

1.Use Color-Protecting Products:

Invest in shampoos, conditioners, and styling products specifically formulated for color-treated hair. These products help lock in color, prevent fading, and maintain the overall health of your hair.

2.Limit Heat Styling:

Excessive heat styling can lead to color fade and damage. Minimize the use of hot tools and, when necessary, use a heat protectant to shield your hair from the damaging effects of heat.

3.Deep Conditioning:

Colored hair tends to be more prone to dryness and damage. Incorporate regular deep conditioning treatments to nourish and hydrate your locks. Look for products that are designed to restore moisture and enhance color vibrancy.

4.Protect Your Hair from the Sun:

UV rays can contribute to color fading. Shield your hair from the sun by wearing hats or using products that offer UV protection. This is especially important for those with vivid or pastel colors.

Conclusion

Hair coloring is a dynamic and evolving form of self-expression, with trends and techniques constantly reshaping the landscape. Whether you opt for classic natural tones, experiment with bold colors, or embrace the latest innovative techniques, the key lies in finding a style that resonates with your personality and lifestyle. As you embark on your coloring journey, remember that proper care is paramount to keeping your locks vibrant, healthy, and a true reflection of your unique style.

Understanding the Numbers and Letters on a Hair Color Chart

Whether you’re coloring your hair for the first time or are a seasoned professional, understanding and deciphering the numbers and letters on a hair color chart is an essential skill. A knowledge of these codes can help you achieve the exact shade you want to see on your clients’ heads, ensuring that the results are perfect every time.

It’s important to know that a color chart isn’t a direct representation of what the actual dye will look like on the hair strands. The resulting color depends on how well the dye absorbs into the existing hair pigments and blends with them. This is why it’s important to be familiar with the color theory behind a color chart and understand which tones and shades complement each other. It’s also why it’s vital for hair colorists to learn the colorimetry of their products, like our pure permanent and demi-permanent pigments (like Koleston Perfect Opens in new tab and Color Touch Opens in new tab) and how they work together.

Most hair color product lines have their own system of coded numbers and letters that refer to the specific shade. For example, the Clairol Perfect 10 line has shades like sunflower blonde and crushed garnet that offer warm and cool tones to suit any complexion.

Each shade is rated on a level scale from 1-10, with 1 being black and 10 being the lightest blonde. Each shade may also have a letter associated with it that indicates the tone. For instance, a color with a number followed by an A is more warm while a shade with a Y or N has a more neutral or cool tone.

If you’re looking for a hair color shade that is very close to your natural hue, it’s best to stick within two levels of your current shade. This way, the change is subtle and won’t result in your hair being too brassy or orange. It’s also less damaging to your hair since drastic changes require more bleaching and toning.

Hair Color Chart

While it’s tempting to go a few shades lighter or darker than your natural hue, this can cause serious damage and be more difficult to correct. If you’re going to make a dramatic change, we recommend testing the shade out on a small section of your hair beforehand.

The most popular shade to choose is a light brown or blonde, but don’t be afraid to experiment with more vibrant hues, too. We’ve seen everything from fiery reds to rich burgundies, so don’t be afraid to try something out of the ordinary.

Hair color correction notes ToT

So hair has been bleached, and now it's over fried and grey because even the pale banana yellow has been stripped out.

Options:

1. Do a color remover method such as a. Vitamin c/dandruff shampoo/dish soap, that ion water mix color remover, or another light blonde box dye (9 1/2 or lighter) if hair may be grey because it over absorbed an ash tone. If one of these works, and you have hair with at least a slight gold base again? Use wella 7N natural dark blonde on the roots. Apply to roots, then use thin tooth comb to brush the color down just slightly to blur the line between colors. Put conditioner on the lighter blonde lengths. USE PROTEIN FILLER PLEASE OR YOUR LIGHT BLONDE WILL GET FUCKING GREY AGAIN. If you want to put a particular color on the lengths, I recommend level 9NG wella permanent if some slight gold needs to be added/protected in the lengths.

2. So you did step 1 above and it was fucked. Or you did not do step 1 above because it's white/grey because there's just no fucking gold base left. Even after a color removing method, your hair is just white/grey. Go get the Clairol Advanced Grey Semi Permanent dyes. Mix 10/4 ratio (it can be any ratio just make sure the gold color is the larger amount) 6G with 6N dye. Mix the dyes with conditioner until the color is as LIGHT as you would like. Put this mostly gold/slightly neutral color mixture into the fucked up hair. This mixture should ADD gold back in (thank fuck). The ratio can be adjusted if you need more ash tones, or more gold, or darker or lighter. This is a good method to give your hair a darker base color again if say you're trying to go from base blonde to brown ultimately. Anyway, so you've mixed 6G/6N (at level 8 blonde lightness) and now have mostly neutral colored hair. If your roots are too warm at this point? Use 5A (light ash brown) mixed with 6N and apply to roots. If you want the color to be a bit lighter than level 6 on the roots, apply conditioner until the color is light enough (which in my case was 5A/6N equal ratio with a little conditioner to level 7 lightness). Okay, so now you've got roughly neutral toned hair all over. Wooh!

3. What if last step, 2, came out overall too ashy? It DID add some gold so you're back in a natural haircolor range. But it's not gold ENOUGH. You look washed out. You know this ashy is still going to affect future colors? Or you fucked up and darkened your hair with the semi permanent dyes by going too dark (just a little too dark though like you're level 7-8 blonde now instead of the goal of level 7 roots and level 9-10 ends). Or you just want to permanently make your hair a natural color, now that the base color has been put back into a roughly natural range with the semi permanent dyes? That's me NOW lmao.

Slap some 9NG wella in that baby! Put it primarily in the lengths and where ashy buildup is (about 2 inches from the root), leave it on as long as you'd leave on dye for grey coverage (since it will work on the grey hairs longer), so around 45 minutes. About 15-20 minutes before you'll rinse, put the last of the 9NG you mixed into the roots. If you want the roots to be closer to the same color as the rest of the hair, or lighten it a little, or bring that same neutral warm tone up to them too. (Wella 9NG worked excellent on my hair and I think next time I might just use that on my fucking roots too and avoid this kind of mess of a process in the future lol)

The left was after the semi permanent dyes (6N/6G with conditioner on lengths and 5A/6N with conditioner on roots). A roughly natural shade color was reached, but was slightly too ashy and green for my taste. The right picture is after the 9NG wella permanent dye. The color is a bit golder with a bit less green. While also looking like a natural shade, not super gold to the point of looking brassy.

And final result o3o)/

[mejomonster]

Okay so I used clairol advanced gray semi permanent dye for the first time ever. I'm absolutely beyond impressed.

I've used Clairol Jazzed before (the pink one because of course I tried pink) and it lasted 1 fucking wash, 1 fucking day, I was charged like 50 dollars by the salon that put it in and had to redo it myself the day of the wedding when my hair was meant to be pink. So naturally, because of that experience I had avoided ever buying Clairol semi permanent dyes again.

But my hair was bleached to white, lacking any gold tones, and the problem is every "natural color" dye generally is formulated with the expectation you are at LEAST putting the dye on pale banana yellow hair, or light gold hair, since that's how much most people lighten their hair. They don't make most "natural color dye" formulations for fools like me that over processed their poor fucking hair to paper white then accidentally stained them with ash so they're fucking grey ;-; no. No generally there's no fucking dye options to add gold to hair with absolutely no base gold. I usually slap pink, peach, or rose gold into hair when I've fucked up and bleached ALL yellow out of my hair, because pinks add gold back in. Pinks turn your hair pink, then fade to golden blonde. Thankfully. But alas, this time? I added peach and my hair just got silvery/whiter rather than dull grey. It still didnt get enough gold added ;-;

So I go to Sally's, asking if there's anything that will deposit golden tones to hair that's lacking any gold to begin with. Since usually, a natural blonde dye will have some violet or blue (or green if you pick a dark blonde) because the dye is meant to neutralize the slight gold tint hair is when lightening. Natural color dye does not actually get made to be put on paper white (or grey) canvasses of hair. So at Sally's, they suggest GREY COVERAGE dyes. Since natural grey hair also lacks that light Yellow base. Further, they suggest semi permanent so I can mix it with conditioner to control the color outcome better. Finally, they suggest I get both a 6G and a 6N so I can mix a tiny bit of 6N just in case the gold on its own alone (or at least as the overpowering color in 6G) doesn't hit the blue-greyish hair I've got currently and turn swamp colored (the 6N can add some of those ash tones the 6G expects on natural hair so the dye comes out closer to expected).

I do like 20 squirts of my conditioner, 20 squirts of 6G and 6 squirts of 6N. (Beforehand I do a patch test of just 6G, and 6G mixed with 6N. Both turn out golden blonde so I go with mixing both colors so my roots don't get super warm, since my roots aren't grey only the platinum lengths). Turns out: perfect natural looking golden blonde.

I decide to go over it again with just the 6N (neutral) mixed with conditioner (20 squirts conditioner 20 6N dye), because now that there's gold base in my hair I can put a neutral dye in and get a result I expect. I do, it's now a neutral-ashy blonde (but my hair tends to pull ashy quite easily). Since it's semi permanent, it's likely to fade. As long as the gold color clings longer I should be fine (gold generally does hold out longer, since people always complain about brassiness when their toners fade lol). Once it fades? My plan is just continue what I've been doing, shadow roots on myself to blur the growth line, and keeping my lengths some shade of natural looking blonde ToT.

Anyway I'm so fucking impressed with the clairol advanced grey semi permanent line. 1. They work fine on actual grey (or ashy as all hell greenish/bluish hair) 2. They can therefore ADD gold back into hair (or add reds if you fucked up and turned a brown color super ashy). This is great cause very few products can add warmth back in. (Before this, pink dye was literally the only thing I'd ever tried that managed to add gold back in). 3. You can control the light/darkness of the outcome by adding conditioner when mixing, just like if it was a rainbow color like pink. (For example I used 6G and 6N, but with conditioner I lightened them to a level 8 blonde. And for the test strands I did level 9 lightness). It's rare I've seen the ability to control lightness with dyes that come in natural shades. 4. They come out true to color. I got pretty much exactly what was promised on the bottle. The 6G dominant mixture I made gave me a solid Golden Blonde (level 8 with the conditioner mix). The 6N only mixture with conditioner I did later gave me a fairly neutral level 8 blonde (my hair pulled slightly ashy because my bleached hair has less gold than normal hair lol but still overall fairly neutral). I can say the color came out very close to the color of the conditioner mixture, just like if I was using a pink dye. 4. Very even coverage. This is good or bad depending on perspective. The good is I think it would provide good grey coverage by darkening grey hair to the surrounding hair color. The downside is I had an ombre and now its much less noticeable as the lighter hair was darkened... but it's a semi permanent so it'll fade. And the ombre will be clear again later lol.

Anyway, results:

Before dying, you can see it's white with pink bits, and very warm roots:

This is after the 6G, a little 6N, and conditioner mix (for 1 hour):

A much more natural looking color, way more blended. My roots are still a little darker as expected. But the result was a Bit too brassy for my liking in the sun. Still, adding gold was the goal so SUCCESS LOL

After the 6N conditioner mixture, 20 minutes:

In natural lighting, a bit less brassy. A bit more ashy, darkened my lengths a slight bit more. Quite happy with it though, as lengths are still slightly lighter and as it fades I'll preserve my highlights. My roots are still a touch brassy but 1 they're gonna be dyed over with regrowth in a couple months so not a big concern, and 2 it's my lengths over absorbing dye like crazy so like. Once the lengths are looking good, I can fuck with dying the roots whenever. The roots are likely to stay the same shade more or less, as the porous bleached hair fades faster. At least until it heals from enough protein treatments.
