I am starting to get scared! I got 2 phone calls after 11 pm last night, too! One of them was a hangup and when I went to my caller ID to retrieve the phone number (it showed up on my TV screen but I didn't catch all of the numbers) it wasn't on my caller ID. Then at almost midnight the phone rang again from a number in Mississippi and there was no one there. WTH is going on?? I added OpenWeb Skype to my apps in Chrome yesterday because I have a $75 Skype survey on Monday and the Showbox app a few days ago but those are the only new things I've added. I am starting to feel like I'm being stalked!!
That's too creepy for a like. :shock:

We get creep calls even on DNC registered phones.

I've been wondering about the coloring...I do boxed, have tried the stuff from Sally's and never gotten good results.
What did you get from Sally's? Their stuff requires a little more work. With their tube dyes, you really need to bleach your hair first. You use like a 20-30 volume bleach to remove your base color and open up your hair, then use a 5-10 volume with the dye to deposit color. Box dye tends to do all of that in one step, which is another reason it's a little more harsh. Also why box dye tends to give the wrong color for a lot of people.

Well, after spending 1/2 hr talking with the girl who worked there, it sounded like she knew what she was talking about...NOT! No one told me to bleach first...so instead of copper penny, I got dark brown. And it was brittle after.

Yeah, their employees can be a mixed bag. Sometimes you get someone that really knows what they are talking about and other times you get someone that has no idea, lol.

I guess it is possible she sort of knew what she was talking about and just missed a step? Or she may have thought your hair was light enough to take the color without bleaching and just judged poorly. I always suggest bleaching first even if it's light enough, though, even if it's only a 5-10 minute bleach bath to open up the hair and prepare it for color. :p

If it works, it works! If I ever kept my natural colors I would probably be willing to try some of the newer higher end box stuff to see how it works because it is easier. I have to be careful with my stupidly sensitive skin, though. Chemical burns are no fun. :lol:

So do we, but I got all over Comcast again not too long ago and threatened to make them pay be back every cent I have ever paid them for an unlisted number if they didn't figure out how to keep my number secure and they almost stopped coming. It's been a couple of months since I got one and even longer since I got one late at night. I just seem to be getting hit from all sides right now! :(

I really really love the Schwarzkopf Ultime. I use 5.28, which is Cocoa Red. I wanted a dark auburn and this is the best auburn color I have ever used! It has none of the orangy, faded look as it fades, either. It just gets a little lighter is all. Last week I had a $3 coupon off of one box or $7 off of two and I actually used the $7 and got 2 boxes. I have never pre-bought a hair color before! I even switched to the Ultime shampoo and conditioner. Love it. :)

I hate it when my hair doesn't look like it's supposed to according to the box! My hair is normally dark blonde and the box says "If your natural hair color is..." and they don't show my natural hair color, lol! Besides, what if it's been so long since I actually saw my natural hair color I don't even know what color it is? Shouldn't it go by the last color you were?
