Thanks for all the nice comments. I am Indian, as in Bollywood! LOL. And I think the last time I dyed my hair was a few months ago, and it was a deep plum colour...I can't remember the exact one. I actually need to touch up 'cause my roots are showin'! Ever since I started using an ionic hair dryer, I am finding that my hair IS more shiny and a lot of people are commenting on it.
