Thanks My old color was not actually my natural color. My roots will grow in as a pretty drab gray-brown. My hair before, was actually dyed a few shades browner, than this red. So it basically faded-out to a fox-red color. I am expecting this to fade into a similar color.. actually hoping for it, because while I do like this red, it is not something that I will do again, this drastically! But for the short time that it lasts, until it fades, it is fun.
