i've heard that the asian and spanish dyes available at beauty supply shops are really good (i haven't tried them though - i've given up on black, with my roots i'll look like an indian grandmother within a week).
you could also - and it's a little more time-consuming but it works - add some blue or black or both semi-permanent color to a bottle of conditioner that you like and use that, let it sit on your head for about 5 minutes, then rinse. it acts like a glaze; just be sure you put towels over pillowcases you don't want ruined because it stains stuff. i did this when i was scarlet last year and it works GREAT. i might try it again with a brown since i think i am letting this grow out so i an see how bad the gray really is.
all my favorite colors have been discontinued. black widow was THE BEST color ever.
court? wedding? i'm so out of the loop! bollocks to the one and congratulations on the other - you can decide which goes where!
'bigen' is asian dye. it's a powder you mix with water, and it IS good...it's a great shade of black and it doesn't really fade. MY problem with it is you can't keep getting it on the hair you've already dyed or it'll fuck it up BIG TIME. and i tend to be a really sloppy colorist and have a hard time keeping it just on the regrowth. i finally have long hair now, so i really don't want to end up with a chemical haircut!
court = a lot of bullshit involving social services, my elderly mother, and my handicapped sneior citizen sister. i dyed my hair black awhile ago so i'd be taken seriously while i'm dealing with it. wedding = me & my boy are tyin' the knot. not a big fancy affair, just courthouse and a party, but i still want my real hair color for it. :-)
