Questions about deep conditioners/colored hair?

Hi, i have a question about the garnier fructis 3 minute deep-conditioning mask (the one that comes in the circular tub)

my hair is naturally a dull brown color, but im italian w/ dark dark eyes, so i dyed my hair really dark brown, almost black. i like the color and i dont want it to fade, but i want to be able to use the garnier fructis mask. it doesnt say on the container if its color safe or not, so im afraid if i use it, it will make my color fade :[

i had to buy special expensive shampoo/conditioner from my salon for fine hair b/c my hair tends to not hold color well, even when i use color shampoo/cond from walmart. so im just concerned lol.

i heard that deep conditioning can actually help you retain your color longer, is this true? because in that case, the garnier deep conditioner would be good for my hair, and wouldnt fade it right?

also, ive read that putting pure vitamin e (if u were to pop some liquid gel capsules) on your hair helps reduce breakage, is this true? would this fade the color at all?

thanks, and sorry if my questions were repetetive lol
yeah, the fortifying deep conditioner that i have is from the sleek and shine line, not the color shield line. is that okay?? i've used it before with color treated hair, but it faded (but i dyed it myself, and it was pretty much going to fade no matter what b/c i wasnt using the right shampoo/conditioner)

i dont want to have to buy the color shield version and trash the sleek and shine one :/

Prenatal vitamin question?

So I took a prego test and it was negative but a lot of people told me I took it too early and I still haven't had my period since July 29th (last day of my last period). I took a nutrition class and we talked about how important it is to have folate in your diet especially when you are pregnant. So I am sure that I am pregnant because I have never missed a period. I went and got some prenatal vitamins to take now until I find out and have a few questions about them. I use to take prenatal vitamins as a multivitamin for many years, and the store didn't have the ones I am use to taking. I bought One a Day Womens Prenatal vitamins. It comes with two different pills. One has all the vitamins in it (pink pill) and the other one has some polysaturated fat, omega 3 fatty acids and it says under omega 3 EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) this one is a liquid gel. I feel stupid asking this but should I be taking both of them? I know when you get a script for prenatal vitamins it's just a big pink tablet. I am just trying to take all the extra precautions and don't want to screw up.

Also I was craving a salad with sour cream (totally wierd) and I forgot to take the pill and took it about 15 minutes later or so (under 30 minutes) and I started to feel really sick. Is this normal? I never remember getting sick feeling when I took the other prenatal vitamins. I have been feeling really pukey lately anyways and my smells have been crazy. I had to have my boyfriend cut up the lettuce. Is there anything that is better to eat when you take the prenatal? I don't drink cows milk and I do not eat much meat.
The prenatal vitamins didn't come with instructions. On each bottle it just says take one and that's it. Am I suppose to take them at the same time every day?
