Almost Blonde -- Or yet too far ~ Char and Nina

After weeks of thorough thinking regarding what color to apply. I, I mean we, have finally decided! Wohoo!
Here's my original hair color with a hint of my 1st color application of Revlon Medium Golden Brown last last October (2010) at the ends.

The Before Hair. lol.

Introducing...

Revlon Colorsilk Luminista in Medium Blonde #175!

I've always been an avid fan of Revlon. I never wanna use other hair coloring brands except for Schwarzkopf, of course, but I couldn't afford it, YET! Haha.

My first hair color (Revlon Medium Golden Brown), which was in October 2010, was applied at Landmark, Trinoma in Revlon's open booth free application. This time, I had my partner-in-crime (slash) bff, Nina, to apply my hair color DIY style.

Nina had a gig that day so I had to come at her house early. She still had her curlers on when I came. lol!

Let's get this started!

These shots were the 1st application. I went back to Nina after a week to have my 2nd application.

We forgot to take "After" shots so I just took some recent photos that I have.

Here it is.. 2 boxes of Revlon Medium Blonde overall. I still have dark hair but the color's more vivid when you use blonde than brown for darker hair of course. My advice, don't be scared to use blonde hair color if you have dark hair because what you see in the box isn't really what you'll get. Those are if you start off with no color at all -- like bleached. There are two kinds of Revlon color, the Colorsilk Luminista (the one I used) and the Colorsilk. The difference is that the Luminista is vibrant for dark hair as it saturates it allowing for the color to be enhanced. I also love the after-color conditioner because it really does leave the hair in better condition. My hair is super soft and smooth after I used the conditioner. Makes me feel good after putting lots of chemicals in my already damaged hair.

P.S. My mom got mad 'coz I keep on coloring my hair, but come on! I'm a teenager! I want changes. lol. :)

And this is what I really wanted to achieved.

We don't know what color this is so I really need your help. What do you think this color is?
