Back to Black (new hair color) *PIC HEAVY-ish*

NYE side boob.
my hair has been various shades of auburn/copper for the past 4 years!!:drunk:

i decided i needed a change.
so I dyed my hair blue black using one box of Revlon Colorsilk in blue/black, and another box in black. i had no specific reason for using this brand, other than they were on sale for $3.49, and i'm a serious bargain hunter. :look:
the color seemed to be relatively gentle on my hair-it doesn't feel dry and stripped.
anyways, enough chatter. here are some pics, cause i know we all love da pitchas....:grin::

BEFORE (my old color, auburn/copper/bronze whatever you wanna call it):

result of the twist n curl-i was pleasantly surprised. i've heard of other 4a/bs having trouble with this style, but it came out decently enough

TODAY'S HAIR: 2nd day of the twist-n curl-i braided it in large sections and added a perm rod to the ends. then i slicked down the front to the side with some ecostyler gel, just for some flair.

last pic-the back of that style

ok, that's all for now. i'm pretty happy with the new color. i hope these pics aren't too monstrously big.

enjoy! oh, and what do you guys really think about the color?? my grandma says its a bit too dark for my complexion. do i look washed out??
oh, and i promise you that i do other styles beside braid n curls. i've just been kinda obssessed with it lately.:look:
 
I like the black!! :yep: It doesn't wash your face out. It actually makes it stand out! BTW Your skin is flawless!! (~_~) Just a lil jelly!! :lol:
 
Nice! I'm debating going back to black too. Only thing is I think curly hair looks better lightened/highlighted and straight hair looks better black. I plan to wear my hair straight A LOT more during fall/winter. *sigh* I can't make up my mind.

why, thank you!!
i'm pretty sure i have my BC (birth control, not big chop :rofl:) to thank for that. i used to have lots of trouble with breakouts.:yep:

i completely agree with you!! that's a big reason why i decided to do it-i'm thinking of keeping my hair straight most of the time this fall/winter, and the lighter colors don't really look good straight. at least, not for my hair.
try a black rinse first to see if you're happy with it.:yep:

Both colors do look great on you. You're so beautiful with either. But the black looks very rich and healthy and accentuates your beauty instead of competing with it. I love it! Good move!!
 
I'm biased because I love black hair, but I think it gave a nice change. It brings your complexion out. I'm copper/bronze or something now, but I will always go back to black. I lightened up because my DH thought I needed a change from black, but I can't wait to go back. Already got ma color in ma stash, lol!
 
Ummm...yeah...so I'm gonna have to go ahead and report this thread for all the XXX hair porn action going on in here!

Girl I love both colors on you!

Please tell me your technique on your twistout, and do you think it will come out looking that good on relaxed hair?
