Naturals who color....

[nappystorm]

I recently got my hair colored. I like it even though it looks a little orangy when the flash or sun hits it.

Tips, suggestions, products?

I just colored my hair with texture and tones. The color is cherrywood. I like it. I keep it moisturized. I have not experienced any setbacks or breakage.

I used to wear my hair that color all the time back in the day.

Keep hair moisturized and conditioned as usual and you should be fine.

I like your haircolor and bob! Fierce! Also, are the pics right after you had it done? Because the brassy-ness/orange will tone down some over time. Just make sure you deep condition regularly.

Just deep condition regularly and use a good leave in mosturizer and you should be good to go.

I like the color OP. For me I don't use boxed color because I have grey hair and the box stuff don't cover it. Also I don't use the box because I dont' know the level of developer these hair companies are using. I use Miss Clairol Reddest Mahogony Red RR203 with a 20 developer and I add a tube of grey buster. It is a very natural color on me and my grey hair actually looks like highlights which I love!

I agree with others OP. Moisturize your hair is a must with color hair. Also I wanted to say your hair is beautiful! I love the color. I said I was not going to color my hair anymore and now I wants some...lol.

Nappy! Hey girlie. Definitely use a poo made for colored, especially blonde hair. When I had blonde chunks, I used Shimmer Lights and Artec poos. Kept the golden color w/out the orange tint. I'm pretty sure they contain sulfates but my color stayed vibrant and fresh looking. Stay on top of your moisture/protein game to keep it from looking thirsty as well.
