  • Colored my BLACK hair (AND SCALP!!!) w/ REVLON Color Silk (Medium Brown)?

    Hair - 8 hours ago

    Additional Details

    I used 2 boxes for my thick, shoulder length hair, completely saturating it, including scalp! I then piled the hair on top of my head for the recommended time. My SCALP burned like crazy, but I kept on until I rinsed it all out w/ hot water, 27 minutes later. Not happy w/ seeing some breakage. I learned my lesson: don't color scalp! And don't rinse w/ hot water!! Now rinsed and conditioned, my scalp is ok, but any long term damage I should know about ??? (I relaxed my hair 2 months ago, and colored w/ REVLON Color Silk (Dark Brown) a month ago. . . Thank you.
