Thank you for your quick response. Could you send a sample of the colors you are suggesting? I think my hairdresser and I would be more comfortable trying the product on the nap before the full coverage. Or, is there a local shop where we could view the product etc. I feel so much better knowing there is HOPE and an alternative to what I have been using. Thanks again. Also, could you suggest shampoos/conditioners to use. Once again, I am from the Milwaukee WI area.
