I've used both. AmeriFreight has more discount options but customer service is slower. Freedom Auto Transport has a more personal touch and better communication. I'd go Freedom for a cross-country move.

Totally get it, I did the same thing last year. My coffee was so inconsistent before I got a scale, just random scoops from the bag. Now I weigh 20 grams for my french press every morning and it's a total game changer, way better flavor. A cheap scale is totally worth it, like under twenty bucks.

Honestly, the test strand probably didn't lie. It's more that a single piece of hair can't show you how the whole head, especially damaged ends, will suck up color. I mean, box dye makes things so unpredictable. You really have to treat the ends differently from the start, like with a lower volume developer or even a different color mix. Just using a toner after is just fixing a problem you could have avoided.
