My new hair color + a couple photos of Rocky :)

I ended up dying my hair last night with the hair dye I posted about yesterday. It was the Clairol Nice n' Easy Colorblend Foam in the shade #4 Dark Brown. Prior to dying my hair, my hair color was an ashy, medium brown with a bunch of golden brown-auburn tones towards the bottom. This dye changed my color to a very dark, rich brown. I really like it, and I'm hoping it's not going to fade considerably once I wash my hair.

As for the dye, I don't think I'd purchase it again. I thought the idea of using a foam was kinda cool, but I actually find it a little inconvenient to use - especially when using a brush to coat the roots. Also another inconvenience, by the looks of the container, it looks like a pump - but it's not. You have to squeeze the bottle for the foam to dispense. Not a big deal, but it's a little awkward. I waited the full 25 minutes, conditioned and rinsed. It left my hair feeling really dry. I could barely get a brush through my hair. On the plus side, it seemed to take well to my gray hairs, and the color looks great. I'll just have to make sure to load up on the deep conditioners. I'm almost done with my Aussie Deep Conditioner. I think I might pick up the "It's a 10" Miracle Leave in Conditioner. I saw it today at ULTA in a pink bottle for Breast Cancer Awareness. (For more info, click here) Anyone recommend it?

I bought this cute little Halloween pajama for Rocky a few days ago at Target. He looks so adorable, but he is always so full of energy, I could not get a decent picture of him. The first picture was the best I could do for now. lol

He looks like Alfalfa.

And, here he is being his typical watch dog self. I was outside on the patio trying to get his attention, but he kept ignoring me. Typical guy.

Talk to you all soon!
