Oh so it's a byproduct of processing, I just hoped they didn't improperly color match my hair samples or something. I had to send the piece back to have more hair put in it so it might've been processed even more. Since the system is still pretty new, and I'm a complete newbie, I bet you would recommend trying something like back2natural before I try to dye the hair. I'm never in the sun for more than 5 minutes at a time, and I only washed the piece 2 or 3 times so far so it couldn't have been because of the normal oxidation process at this point. How would this product compare to back2natural: http://www.hairdirect.com/store/ppi-colo...o-8oz.aspx
It's cheaper and it's for black hair. Not just dark ash brown.
I've also read about purple/violet shampoos but I think those are for blondes. And toners but I don't know what those are.
