fun colors, easy application with a little prep
These are some fun colors from INH.  They are not for the timid.  I had used an INH semi-permanent color (pink quartz) before and knew what to expect.  This time I tried Wish Bear that is a green blue color. I have curly hair and usually just add color to a few curls around my face, but this time I was feeling crazy and did a full head application. I had mixed results with the different levels of dark and light in my hair.  I would say that the image with the different results based on your starting color are accurate.  If you have a mix of levels in your hair then you will get a mixed  look, too.  This will look best (and get you that prettiest Care Bear color) on a pre bleached platinum level hair.<br /><br />Application is easy if you prep you surfaces (old towels are great) and wear gloves during application. I followed the instructions and had washed the night before so I was applying to dry unconditioned hair. I didn't use a bowl and a brush.  I just used my fingers and was careful to section and saturate. I left it on for an hour because I know from using semi-permanent colors over the last year that I need longer than the usual 30 minutes.  On pastel shades I usually go an hour to two hours.  If you are unsure then do a strand test before you go all over crazy like I did.<br /><br />My hair felt great afterwards.  It is conditioning.  It very much reminds me of the expensive brand that starts with an O.  Would I get this particular color again? For me, probably not. I did not have light enough hair to get the Care Bear look.  I also don't think the green in the blue green works on me. Would I get this brand again? I sure would.
