John Frieda Dark Cherry Brown Review!

Okay, I know it seems like I dye my hair a lot. But honestly, I used to.
It has been about two months since the last time I dyed my hair.
Since then, I have taken good care of my hair.


I always wanted my hair to be a light ash blonde color but since I'm not fair enough, I know I can never dye my hair to that color.
Ever since my best friend dyed her hair a red color I kind of wanted to try it for myself.
Last weekend we went to our local Ulta store and I had purchased a box of John Frieda hair dye.


Dark Cherry Brown



Color Chart



Contents of Box

I chose this color because even though I wanted to dye my hair red, I was going for more of a burgundy color. I didn't want my hair to be bright and "in your face" red.


My Before Hair:




 You can see where I bleached my hair for the teal.


The Dying Process:




I kind of already had the feeling that my hair was going to turn out darker than it showed on the result chart.


Conditioner; smells amazing! :)


My After Hair:


You can't see the ugly blonde-green ^^


No Flash; Indoor Lighting


Flash; Indoor Lighting


Red Tint...

Results: My hair looks black indoors but outdoor with sunlight, you can see more of the red.

More pics:




*The color will bleed when you shower the first time after dying your hair. Use colored towel.*


Ratings (out of 5):

Color: 2 out of 5
I liked how the color is a dark red. 
But I at least wanted the red to show a little more, especially in the sunlight. 
When in the sunlight you can only see the red tint. 

Softness: 5 out of 5
I love the size and smell of the conditioner.
After using it, my hair was so soft that I couldn't stop touching it.
The conditioner is also big enough for you to use once a week to prevent the color from fading.

Smell: 5 out of 5
My hair didn't smell like dye at all after dying it.
All my hair smelled like was the conditioner! :)

Would I repurchase this color? No. I was very disappointed how the color came out even though I knew the color would not turn out the same color on the box.

Recommend to Friend? Sure. If my friend ever wanted a more natural hair color but still wanted a nice colored tint.

My thoughts: Past.

According to my past crushes, guys only think of me as a little sister.
So, girls can’t act cute and someone who you can easily talk to then? No. Girls have to damage their hair every day by styling, wear make up, and wear skirts. So, before I wondered if I changed my style and how I act, will guys start to look at me as a potential girlfriend? Would this ever change?


 At least I found someone who accepts and loves me.


After every one of those crushes, I learned to cry my eyes out one day and move on the next. Or if you don't move on that fast, at least fake smile. If its an ex especially, it'll get to them how happy you are without them.

My advice:
Don’t rush to be in a relationship. Live it up as a single person while you can. ;)
All bad and upsetting things are only a shadow of the good in your future. It's worth the wait.



Life only gets better if you allow it to.
