Naturally_Psyched: Hey RED!

Hey red! Hey red! I have heard this comment so many times in my life, and most times my hair wasn't even red. For those who know me, you know I have dyed my hair red numerous times. Whether is was using the temporary jazzings to add a cherry cola tint that you can only see in the sun, or if it was my Charlie Baltimore red, where I got it bleached first then dyed, RED has been my color. Previously, I always had relaxed hair when it was dyed. And for those who have been through this process, you know it looks and feels great the first 4-6 weeks until you have to go in and get that relaxer. Man, it use to be a painful event. After the relaxer was in, while at the shampoo bowl, I knew that my hair would shed, well more than shed, break off. Every time, so much hair would come out that I would swear I had a bald spot, but because my hair is super thick it never was. It just appeared slightly thinner.

This was my first time coloring my hair while "natural." I got it dyed, but at first, it was not the color I wanted. It looked more copper than the bloody red I wanted. I looked a little washed out, or as my best friend said...I looked albino. So we tried again the next day. It got closer to the red that I was going for, but still not right on. I like it though. I do feel like it has changed the texture of my hair. It feels more brittle, but I guess it means I need to moisturize more often. I've worn it both in an Afro and flat ironed, and I do like!.......More details to come.
