But, I forgot to massage it in completely, so I was left with uneven hair, especially the roots and the inner layers of the hair. And since this was a bright colour, the black (my original hair colour) was very obvious. The colour itself was quite nice. It turned out a little more brown than the orange that is on the cover of the box, but it is a nice bright colour. Also, on the second wash it still looks exactly the same (unlike some other brands that will start to fade). In real life, it is a little less bright but when you...
