i colored my hair...

[iri9109]

i finally caught the color bug. i was so scared to color my natural hair because last time i colored my hair (i was relaxed) my hair suffered and i didnt want a setback. i only lightened the front just incase i didnt like it or just incase it falls out atleast its not all over...i wanted to wait until apl or bsl but thats so far away, and incase i have a setback i'd rather have it early on in my hair journey then way down the line... then wanted to do it next week for my nappiversary but i did it earlier just incase it was a total mess and i had to go back to black.

i wanted a red/black 2 tone look...i really wanted the fro patch like wiz khalifa, but my fro flops and doesnt stick up so i didnt think that was going to work

for the back i used garnier herbashine in soft black...my hair was already dark but i wanted a uniform color.

for the base, i probably should've used bleach to get the color that i want, but i was scared so for the base i used clairol textures and tones in bronze. according to the color chart i should've got a blondish bronze color, but i didnt. i even left it on for double the recommended time and used heat but it didnt really help.



i went over the bronze with manic panic in vampire red...i thought it would be bright, but its just a burgundyish color...it sure stained my scalp bright red though

I think it looks cute!! After a shampoo your scalp should be okay - it's happened to me plenty of times, lol.

Looks nice

I love your curls and the shape of your hair.

Did the color change the texture any?

thanks! lately i've been using mixed silk leave-in or oyin hair dew & a spritz of aloe vera/water/condish, but in the pics i used a little aubrey organics honeysuckle rose at night and baggied so in the morning it was all absorbed and i spritzed with aussie hair insurance (leave-in spray) & put garnier fructis color shield leave-in (which to me is like a liquidy gel/serum) on top.

Wow your curls are PRETTY! You don't even need colour, letting them stand alone is enough! Never thought you'd actually dye your hair though, is this just a test since you only did the top?

thanks! i didnt think i would do it either...and i only did the top b/c i was scared to do the whole thing, but i do like the 2-tone look atleast for now...in the future i might do my whole head but idk.
