Going Adore Cajun Spice!

Hi all! It’s my first post here. I read all your threads about Adore and had to try it. I really don’t have a question or comment yet, I just wanted to share what I’m doing and say hi!

I’m getting older and my dark curly hair is looking lighter and more frazzled, even though I haven’t really “dyed” it in years... it fries so badly. Sometimes I put my natural color cheap bottle dye right on my crown where the grays are worst and then forget about it for another few months. I usually air-dry, no heat damage.

I had been looking for a wash-in sort of gentle dye, and Adore may be it. I know they have Adore Plus for gray, but their regular version was all I could order in time before I go on a trip. Dyeing hair an untried color right before prior plans, smart huh?  :laugh: 

I’m sitting here letting it soak in right now. I wish i could do a real dye session where I heat it in a towel several times over a few hours... but I’ll probably wash it out in about an hour.

My hair naturally turns a dull faded blonde at the ends, and now they’re going to be plain cajun spice. So many folks mix cajun spice with something else, I couldn’t find a picture of what the color by itself would be. I’ll upload some before and after pics for you here after I’m done. And a faded pic, because I’ll probably let that happen! 🙂 I expect to put a layer of brown on next because I hear this fades bright orange...

Another note: I use olaplex treatments 3/4/5 pretty regularly, so I don’t know just how well this will stick. I fear the first color treatment will be patchy... I fully expect it to be WAY BRIGHTER at the ends. Oh well. I’m already planning to use the adore + white conditioner follow up to even things out. Uh... what is white conditioner anyway? It sounds like just $1 suave or something.

I also use sunsilk cones and argan oil to tame the tips... avoided that for the past few days, pre-dye. (This is just what I’ve found works best for my hair. YMMV.) FWIW I live in a place with constant high humidity. My hair only looks combed for about five minutes... :laugh:

Boyfriend left me a while back and I’d like to feel sexy again. So red hair and trips to the gym it is!

Thanks for listening to me ramble. Hope your hair adventures go well out there 🙂

*hugs*
