peacheslatour September 18, 2016 Share September 18, 2016 Bummer, dude. My hair has also been a bunch of colors (though not black, I'm way too pasty for that) right now it's blond (Preference #8) but up until last year it was auburn for years (which is my natural color) now there is too much white in it to get away with such a dark color all over. 4 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/3520-small-talk-out-of-genoa/page/32/#findComment-2576586
