Colouring my hair

On a serious note, since the start of 2011 that's the year I finally knew how to correctly take care of my hair believe it or not.  My hair does not like colour, after all these years I've been colouring it oblivious to the fact that my hair was telling me not to colour it.  I thought colouring my hair was kool and it wouldn't break, had I known what I knew now my hair would have been soooooooo much longer now.  So I did what I thought was best and I cut most of it off, to let it start again.  So right now my hair has movement when washed and when it is styled.  So all I have to say is this COLOURING MY NATURAL HAIR IS A NO NO!
