I've added more red to my highlights!

[ericthegreat]

Hey guys. You all know that I've become a color fanatic! I added in a much brighter red to my highlights, and the receptionist at the salon was so kind she helped take all these pics. Enjoy guys!

I have seen you on TLHC before and must say I love the red in your hair. It is funky.

[apynip]

The red is very flattering on you.

BTW. I <3 your hair.... its so shiny and long plus it continues to stay healthy as you bleach and dye it.

very nice and handsom. I'm glad you like it!

[pilateschick7]

Gorgeous :) Thanks for sharing.

Eric, when you started going to lighter and lighter shades of brown, I wasn't a big fan of it and I thought you looked much better with darker hair.

This thread has changed my mind now. The red looks incredible on you. Totally awesome, man!

[MissManda]

The red is a very wonderful color on you! Your hair looks so amazing and shiny! I am glad you like your new color!

[yellowchariot]

IMO I've always that that dark and red colors were great when combined! :thumbsup:

[pepperminttea]

Looks so vibrant - wish mine could take colour and keep such a shine!

[camirra555]

The red looks really good! I like it much better than the light brown/blonde

[MandaMom2Three]

Ditto! I know you must be falling on the floor that I'm posting but it looks really good. Peace!!! :)

[Charlotte]

Spectacular Eric!!! :)

[bigmama8]

You have awesome hair! I loved it black, then I loved your blonde highlights because they looked caramel colored to me. However, this red color really makes your hair even more awesome! I wish my hair could handle highlights without getting ruined. You must really be taking great care of it.

[Johanna64]

Wow,it looks good on you!!
I love the red :)

[windinherhair]

Awesome look Eric!

[karenpetal]

[Arkady]

You're going to have to update your avatar! :D The colour looks wonderful, and so glossy and shiny too!

[didrash]

Very cool, Eric! Like in those anime movies...

[halo_tightens]

Eric, buddy, this is the coolest one you've picked so far! :)

I loved you in black, and the light streaks were okay... THIS, though, is freaking fabulous. Rock on!

[kmangus]

Eric it looks fantastic!! :)

[LisaButz2001]

I think it must be the contrast of the salon's wall color, but the third picture showed the color best, I think 'cause your shirt was the background. The seated picture is a nice length shot.

[prittykitty]

Eric, You have beautiful hair. This color kind of gave it a glow.

[Cherry_Sprinkle]

Thank you guys, you're all my extended family here! :blossom: :blossom: :blossom:

[Pear Martini]

Perfect hair. Period.

[jojo]

I heart your hair and the red is fantastic woo go eric!

[BunnyBee]

Oh your hair gets more stunning every time I see it *envy* :flower:

[ericthegreat]

Wow guys, seriously thank you to every single one of you!:heartbeat

Halo tightens, why thank you. I do try to get better and better. :blossom:

Pear Martini, I'm sure your hair is also considered "ideal and perfect" by someone else in this world, maybe even myself. ;) :blossom:

And jojo I agree, I feel that red and anything in the red family appears to suit my personality the best. I also love your shade of blonde highlights, they happen to suit your personality. :blossom:

[jojo]

Thank you Eric, your a sweetie, forgot to say before how cool of your stylist to take photos for you, that ones a keeper in all aspects1

[30isthenewblack]

Wow! That red colour looks very vibrant and warm and really suits your skin tone.

[ericthegreat]

My hair was looking too good. I had to take 2 more photos by myself!

[Isilme]

wow, that looks amazing! Perhaps there is henna in your future? ^^

[ericthegreat]

Thank you Isilme! :blossom:

I will leave my hair alone at this point, I KNOW that I've been pushing the limits of my hair's strength, I'm pushing myself against the wall right now.

If I really decide to keep the red, I will speak to Paul, the owner of the salon I go to. Paul is not just my stylist, he is my best older friend. He has over 20 years of experience with all kinds of haircutting and haircoloring. Since my hair has already been bleached and colored over, I really don't want to put henna over it because the results might not come out the way I desire.

[JamieLeigh]

Looks fab!! :crush: Glad you're having fun with your hair. :D

[ericthegreat]

Jaime, girl where have you been?!!!!!! :heartbeat

I'm glad to see you've graced my thread. :blossom:

[rhondalicious]

It's nummy! Makes me want to go get red highlights in my hair...

[marzipanthecat]

That looks just fabulous. The colour really suits you.

And your hair looks so smooth and shiny - yes, I'm envious!

[JamieLeigh]

Jaime, girl where have you been?!!!!!! :heartbeat

I'm glad to see you've graced my thread. :blossom:

I'm around, lol. I don't get on every day, but when I do, I try to weed through and get to the important threads. ;)

[ericthegreat]

Welcome to the red headded world! It looks good on you!

RCHORR'

I'm most honored to be invited! I might think about making a stay here! :grouphug:

[ericthegreat]

Thank you marzipanthecat! :blossom:
And never be envious, I'm sure there are styles that you do on your type of hair that I could never try to do on my hair. My hair can't hold a natural curl to save my life!

[Luckysock]

Oh I love it, nice work.

[kwaniesiam]

The red looks wonderful!

[ravenreed]

It's drop dead gorgeous.

[ericthegreat]

Hey guys. Thank you to kwaniesiam and ravenreed and all of you who came in here. :blossom: :blossom:

It is not lost on me that I would of course have the strongest, most healthiest hair if I simply left it virgin. I know you guys simply want to protect me from doing anything I would regret.
But I figure, ya only live once. Why not go for what you've always dreamed of having? I'm going to have that hot fudge sundae! I've always loved lighter and warmer shades of color. So I'm going to get those colors in my hair!

I do compensate by taking care of my hair extremely well, so I can at least have the healthiest highlighted/ color treated hair. I CO on a regular basis with Suave Coconut. Every two weeks, I use the Ojon nut oil Restorative Treatment(you can find this at a Sephora store or just google Ojon online) and leave it in overnight before washing it out with a little bit of shampoo the next morning. This is one of the only two reasons I use shampoo, one is to wash out an oil treatment. The other reason is to clarify my hair, which I do once every 3 weeks. And immediately after I have shampooed, I apply my Suave Coconut conditioner over my hair, leave it on for 3 minutes before rinsing it out.

[Aditi]

That red color looks great in your hair :flower:

[Zopheya]

very nice.

[ericthegreat]

Thank you to both Aditi and Zopheya as well. :blossom: :blossom:

[Crysta]

now that is some funky colour! and it suits you x)

[Islandgrrl]

Rockin' the red, Eric! :rockerdud: I like it!

[Dreams_in_Pink]

wow, that looks a lot like hair extension "after" photos, do you have any?

[Kiraela]

How did I not see this thread before? The red streaks are completely wicked, and look really good with the caramel-y color of the rest of your hair.

[WelshLocks]

That's super cute! I love the red in your hair it makes your eyes look grogeous. :)
