Latest Shiny-Pretty Red and Black Hair Shots!

I just returned from a fantastic trip to Denver, CO with my HTB (aka: Hunky Techy Boyfriend). We saw the Warlock Pinchers reunion shows and I had two fantastic Good Hair Nights.

I've got a length shot and two shots of my hair all curled up and lookin' fancy. My HTB is the one who helps me to apply the black hair dye. Being a carpenter, he's very precise. THe red is done with L'Oreal HiColor Red (the kind used for highlights) and a Pravana Vivids cocktail of red, orange, and magenta.

P.S.
Notice the Little Seven Goddess Spirals and Nines......

So pretty! The red is a great contrast with your eyes.

Your hair is gorgeous!!! I love the two toned colors. The black really stands out underneath. It looks so shiney and healthy too. Gorgeous!

Love that red

Thank you so much! It's a bit time-intensive to do this color combination but I get so many compliments that it's totally worth it.

I've started using DevaCare No Poo and One Condition.. The DevaCare really makes my hair soft and shiny (more so than the DevaCurl). I have to baby it a bit more than I did when I used henna, but again, that's okay.

Thank you so much! I just wanted to post to show that you can have color-treated hair and it doesn't have to be crispy-crunchy. I just make sure that when I re-touch, I only get color on my roots and I take extra steps to make sure I treat it with TLC. I've been doing the bright red for about a year now. The henna was just getting too dark. It went from being vivid red-orange to being burgundy and it just didn't look as good as it used to. Now, the red/black is like my signature.

Here's another length shot. And yes, it really is that bright!

Funny story: When we were at the Gothic Theater seeing the Warlock Pinchers, I walked by this lady who was wearing Little Seven Swans in what appeared to be a 6 or 8g. When she saw my Nines, we both got all excited!
