I am officially a red head and I love it! I really tried to get the henna color pay off to work for me but it just wasn't what I wanted. The henna did tint my hair and make my curls super soft and conditioned but I wanted my hair red. I went back and forth about dying it because I was nervous about damage and breakage but I am at the point now where I know how to care for my strands. I also wasn't going to lighten my hair like I did the first time I colored it, earlier in my journey. My hair cannot take bleach lightening, so I was worried that the color wouldn't be as vibrant as I wanted but it came out fine.
When choosing a red I knew I wanted my hair to be a dark burgundy, purple color. So I went the salon and discovered my options. We decided to go with an Aveda color called "Red Violet." What I like about this color is that it's dark but when the sun hits it the true color shows, it's very vibrant but not overpowering.
Since my hair is dyed I will have to take extra care of it. I have gotten the hang of protective styling and will continue to utilize it to make sure I am retaining length. I have been babying my hair for months now and am pretty happy with my growth, length and moisture retention. I will keep everyone posted if my regimen should change! I know I have said this before but I do not recommend coloring your hair before the 2 year natural mark. That was my biggest mistake but if you think you can handle the maintenance,then the choice is yours.
What do y'all think about the color?
xoxo,
Alex
