Over the last several years, I’ve become more aware about what I’m putting into and onto my body. My goal is to avoid harsh chemicals and other funky stuff in my food and beauty products. For me, that also no hair color. I’ll be the first to tell you that I am not a big all-over-color, low lighter, or highlighter. The last time I had highlights was seven years ago.
I recently discovered a fantastic hair color company called Madison Reed. Madison Reed is changing the way we color our hair ladies! Using the latest science and technology, they have developed salon quality products that are packed with nutrients and free of chemicals like ammonia and resorcinol. They’re making it easy for busy moms to color their own hair at a fraction of the salon prices.
Madison Reed makes it easy to choose the color that is right for you. You can take the Madison Reed Color Quiz online or speak with a member of the Color Crew for assistance in finding your perfect shade. For first time users of Madison Reed, you can receive 50% off your color kit by using the code MRPAMPER! This code is valid through November 30.
After completing the Color Quiz, I chose Torino Brown, placed it in my cart and waited for FedEx to deliver it just two days later!
Honestly, I was skeptical about an at home hair color. I remember trying it years ago and it being messy and smelly. That isn’t the case with Madison Reed products. You receive a fantastic kit – with TWO pairs of gloves and everything else you need for a wonderful at home hair color treatment.
The instructions were clear and thorough. Happily, I completed the application in about twenty minutes. I was reading the instructions and re-reading to be sure I was applying the color correctly. If you regularly color your own hair, you probably won’t take as long.
While waiting for the color to process, I enjoyed a hot cup of coffee. If you’re a busy mom like me, you know that rarely happens! I snuck in a few minutes of Pinterest and caught a bit of the TODAY show, too! The thirty-five minutes went by fast.
After rinsing, washing, I now look like this:
A slight change from before. The Torino Brown covered the golden tint that my hair gets every summer from those long Cape Cod beach days. It’s a bit darker than my natural color, but not so drastic that everyone (or anyone) noticed!
