Okay, so, let’s talk about hair, specifically, black hair with red highlights. I’ve always loved experimenting with my hair, and this time I was really feeling a bold change. I’ve had black hair for a while now, and I was itching to spice it up a bit. Red highlights seemed like the perfect way to do it, you know, edgy but not too crazy.
First off, I spent hours scrolling through pictures online, trying to find the right shade of red and the style of highlights I wanted. Did I want chunky highlights? Subtle ones? Maybe just a few strands peeking out? It was a whole thing. I finally decided on a mix of deep red and a brighter, fiery red for some contrast.
Next up, the actual coloring. Now, I’ve dyed my hair at home before, but highlights seemed a bit trickier. I didn’t want to mess it up and end up with a patchy, uneven mess. So, I booked an appointment with my stylist. I showed her the pictures I’d saved, and we talked about what would work best for my hair. She suggested starting with a few hidden highlights underneath and then adding more on top if I liked the look. Smart, right?
The day of the appointment, I was so excited. I sat in that chair, watched her mix the colors, and felt the anticipation build. She carefully sectioned my hair and started applying the dye. We chatted about all sorts of things while the color processed, which made the time fly by.
- First, she bleached the strands where the red would go. That was a bit nerve-wracking, seeing those lightened strips against my dark hair, but I trusted her.
- Then came the red! She used two different shades, just like we planned.
- After what felt like forever, it was time to rinse. I couldn’t wait to see the final result.
And oh boy, it looked amazing! The red highlights added so much dimension and movement to my black hair. The hidden ones underneath were a subtle surprise, while the ones on top were more vibrant and eye-catching. It was exactly the kind of edgy, fresh look I was going for. The deep red blended in nicely, while the brighter red really popped. It was like my hair had a whole new personality.
Honestly, I’m obsessed with my new hair. It’s such a fun change, and I’ve gotten so many compliments on it. If you’re thinking about adding some red highlights to your black hair, I say go for it! Just make sure you do your research, find a good stylist, and communicate exactly what you want. You won’t regret it.
