I'm colored and Henna'ed .. it loosened but not much, as you can see..
I add A LOT of moisture to my hair .. I dont play when it comes to that ..
I was lazy a few years ago with color my hair broke and never grew past BS ..
On wash day .. I use sulfate free products .. and DC(1hr) my hair then a mini DC(15) .. and the a final con (less than 5min)
It's a lot but works for me ...pinapple,twist or braid up hair a night , in the morning I water spray with a bit of light con in it ... and smooth a bit of conditioner through it(i use a altered tighly curly method )
I trim or dust on the reg ... pretty simple but effective for me ..
My hair loves honey .. but not oil ..honey has done wonders for my hair ..

What kind of bleach did you use and how long did you leave it in? Thanks

Ok. I'm in the minority. I've been GRAY since age 19 so I color my hair every 8 weeks or so but ONLY THE NEW GROWTH. When younger, I would streak my hair lighter shades and it will straighten my fine textured hair. I only darken the gray now, but if I overlap the coloring it will straighten my hair and change the texture. By the way I've been natural for over 20 years.

I went to the Aveda colour institute, and it cost me £150, the only thing is that I didn't feel the colours were vibrant enough. My hair was fine, I also coloured using the L'Oreal multitonals and that was fine. I have highlighted myself, which was fine also. I also did a lot of conditioning washes and deep treatments, so I did not have a problem of my hair drying. I plan to have my hair highlighted later on this year, when I decide what colours, I want.
Roux Sheer Delite. You have to buy level 20 developer to use with it.

I got my hair died black professionally and I didn't see a change at all other than increased shine. Last night I dyed it ORiental Black, and the curls loosened not by much though it really reduced the amount of tangles I've had, my hair is holding more moisture, its extremely shiny, and amazing

Soooo i lied.....I dyed my hair today with Dark and Lovely Deep Copper. The color is beautiful but I need to do a corrective, idk what happened but the ONLY section that came out like i wanted is the top right quadrant lol so I'm going to do all the other sections again but I'm only going to let it process for 10 minutes.
