(Keep in mind-- I haven't checked in in a couple of days, so just saw this.)
How weird that this thread should reappear. Why? Because I JUST bought the purple hair color TODAY! Came home and saw this. It's going to be quite the experiment. Semi-permanent are useless for me (which is sad because the color range is amazing!), but demis in "regular" colors work well. Found a demi purple, so we'll see! Interestingly enough, I'm *not* hypo. Definitely not. Current state of hair is testament to that. Yikes. (Now we'll see how long it takes to actually
use it.

)
Wow. Amazing timing... (2 1/2 months(!) since writing it!)
