The picture in brown is before the color. The second is the end result.
So long brown
I had to color my hair last night! I couldn't stand the brown hair on me and my locks. My natural hair is brown and when I used to have a relaxer my hair would turn reddish-brown and people thought I had a color but it was my natural color. After looking at the close up of my hair and my sisters hair last week I knew I had to color it. Dark colors in my opinion make my hair look fuller and richer. I am pleased with the finished results. I think when you have really light locks you see too many knots and imperfections. Not to say that the locks will be perfect because they wont. At least with black hair or darker hair it is camouflauged. In all honesty I saw three gray hairs in my temple area on the right side and my my sister told me she noticed my gray hair on the left. Imagine my surprise when she said that because I was only noticing one side and she pointed out that it was on both. The lil curly area in the front was gray and I wasn't having it. I am not ready for the gray hair just yet. Nope not yet!!
I used two boxes of the Textures and Tones color because the last time I colored one box is definately not enough. One box was enough when I had a relaxer but not with locks. It took me 30 minutes to apply it and I left it in for the recommended time.
Dang as I look at those pics all I can see is that dang bump that I had to go and mess with on my forehead. I scar very easily so I have to keep my hands out of my face or I will break out.

I locked my hair in Jan '08. I have been locked for 17 months! On lots of my posts I usually give estimates of the time I have been locked but everyone is so precise so I said I guess I should be too.
