I have a similar experience with haircolor. It's nothing like the color on the box for the first week. The second week it mellows into just about perfect. And once it reaches perfection color-wise in about the middle of the third week, the gray hairs start to reveal themselves. Yep, then you have to do it all over again.

LOL...i love that perm entry! I am the exact opposite..the flat-iron procedure. Being the poor beige child of a white and brown parent..my hair when natural prob. looks like your "new-per" hair. so i do the opposite. the 3-five hour ritual of shampoo, condtion my poor fried tresses and weild the giant ceramic flat iron on em to make it pin-straight...the exact opposite of what i was born with. So at the end of my flat-iron haired lifecycle..i leap upon unsuspecting people who had "no idea [my] your hair was so curly" ponytails,afro-puffs, and yes the understated french twist held up with a clip. I resort every so often to a relaxer (summer) so i know about those noxious fumes. instead i come out with silky-straight hair. Heh! ~lala

I used to do the same thing, but with bleach. And to lessen the "newly-bleached shock" I covered it with bright orange or blue dye. I look back now and realise how great my mother is.
