It’s no secret around here that I color my hair to the lovely red auburn shade that I sport, while trying to cover my grey roots. Heck, I’ve been coloring my ashy brown hair red WAY before I ever even started showing roots. I know I’ve talked about using Natural Instincts on here before. (*Heck, I’ll still take credit for getting them to change their instructions).
Well, they are running a contest that I am seriously thinking about entering – the Natural Instincts Hair Color Contest (*catchy name, right?). Here is what I could win (*or you if you choose to enter yourself):
Grand Prize
- Trip for 2 to New York City
- Makeover at celebrity colorist Marie Robinson’s salon
- $1000 spending money
- Appear in a Natural Instincts how-to video
All entries must be received by August 30th, contestants will be reviewed until October 6th & then will be voted on by “America” on October 7th thru the 14th. (*You guys WOULD vote for me, right? RIGHT?)
The contest is being held in conjunction with the Natural Instincts Hair Color Challenge which says that you will “get healthy-looking hair in 10 minutes. Guaranteed. Or we’ll buy you 2 boxes of your old color.** (**Satisfaction guaranteed or we will refund you for one Natural Instincts box and the value of 2 boxes of your old hair color/replacement hair color (up to $14 per box)).” So, even if you don’t want to enter the contest, you might want to think about taking them up on their challenge.
Okay, so now I am off to go find my color – “18RG Golden Mahogany” from the “Golden Shimmers” collection – which, for some reason I can’t find easily locally, but its worth it to search it out, imo. Do you use or have you tried Natural Instincts? What color are you?
Aside from applying to damp hair, everything else was pretty much the same application as any other home hair color. The smell wasn’t bad – I am going to attribute this to the fact that there is NO ammonia in this color. In addition, there are antioxidents, plus Vitamins C & E, in there with the intent of making your hair healthier than before you colored it. It also comes with a 6wk tube of once a week “Color Treat” conditioner which, I gotta say, made my hair feel very silk afterwards. I let my hair air dry and it wasn’t near as flyaway as I would have expected after a coloring.
