I use to dye mine with the semi-permanent Adore jet black and it lasted longer than a permanent hair dye. I also didn’t wash my hair every week. Maybe once or twice a month. My preference I just don’t see a reason to wash my locs every week.
I’ve been following you for a couple of years now but this is the first time I’ve ever commented. Your locs are beautiful and have grown so much, wow! I used to dye my locs black (I installed them myself 3 years ago, I interlock and I have 284 locs). As I get older and my gray start to come in more, I just leave it alone. I noticed that after I dyed them, it took them a while to bounce back (dry, etc) but I did love the richness in color. It eventually faded anyway. Lol! I get tempted every once in a while to do it again but I don’t want to damage my hair. Plus I think the gray will now give me a little character. Also my ends have started to turn brown. Peace and blessings to you. Congratulations to you on your marriage!
I'm 8 months locked and was rocking a reddish brown for about 6 months. I also love color and I just recently dyed my hair with the Dark and Lovely Midnight blue. Baby!!!! When I say my hair looks sooo thick and healthy!!! I haven't retwisted in a month so my hair is doing its own thing and I love it!!! It's like it's doing this Whoopi Goldberg beginning stage/90's loc bob. My roots right now are thick and it's still in the budding stage so I don't mind the frizz at all. It's very full and thick!!! I'm enjoying this stage before it starts growing out. But I can't wait to see how they grow out. But for those who are doubting going black,DO IT!!!!. Just moisturize, steam, spritz on a daily and you're good!! Very informative video!!!
@@Ms-PettyGod-TH-cam-Channel I used some random one at CVS that was like $5 a box lmao, I believe it was revlon soft black. My hair was originally blonde after bleach (not all of my hair but most) and now, it’s been 9 months, it’s dark brown with a lighter brown near the ends. I’m about to re dye it black now tho lol.
My natural hair color is the brown color you mentioned. I’ve been dying my hair blue black using esalon which is a subscription service. It comes with instructions, I do it myself every six weeks, it has not bled on any clothing or pillows. The texture of my hair is 4c, to the touch, the texture doesn’t feel different but it may get a little drier a bit more often. I absolutely love it. With hair color, you have to maintain it to keep the color. I’d say try it.
Also, I make a lot of my own sprites for my hair, fresh rosemary, mint, rose water. This works wonders. Have you ever made your own? Would be nice to see a vid of you trying it out...it’s really nice. Try it!
Have checked out Saleemah Cartwright (Hydratherma products)t on TH-cam who died her hair black. She has a lighter complexion also and her locs look great. Have you considered henna and some Ayurvedic products? Regular dye will permanently change the texture of your hair.
Great Video 👍🏾 I loved all the hairstyles pre Locked 👍🏾😄 your Locs look great black or ashy brown. I messed around and coloured my hair at the start of my Loc Journey I love COLOUR!!!! However in my experience I found colour very damaging and drying for my Locs 😩😩😩. Even the box dyes I also used to dye my hair jet black (which I loved) but it just didn’t last 🤷🏾♀️. Also for me I didn’t want to be a slave to colouring my Locs because like you said eventually it fades and washes out then your back to square one 🙄. So now I’m embracing my ashy brown golden luscious Locs with fine streaks of grey 😌. However I will try the hair paint that washes out 🎨 one day just for fun! 😉 My favourite colour that I love is golden cooper bronze 👌🏾😄
Hey, do you have two headed dragons. I originally had 180 now a lil over 100. I don't plan to cut them off. Just noticed they were thinning from when I twisted so often in the beginning
Off Subject: That stay on satin pocket bonnet you recommended a while ago baybee it's the truth! I purchased a whole buch of them to have on hand in case they decide to discontinue lol
I have salt and pepper locs and wouldn't have it any other way. I love my grey hair because all grey hair looks different and it is my statement. I use a special shampoo to keep it bright. These are my natural highlights and they are one of a kind.
I have used hair paint wax and it allows the versatility without the damage. I also use manic panic because I have greys and it actually looks like I have streaks when I wash it out. Maybe the ACV is making your hair color fade faster than it should. Great video and conrgats on your marriage sis 🤗
Your locs are out control keep doing what your doing they are really flourishing.... They are gorgeous..... I noticed you don't have your nose piercing anymore....
I don't know about her but let me tell you girrrrl i was a loose natural for 7 years and my hair wouldn't grow past my collar. (too much manipulation) I just loc'd on 8/12/18 and now my hair is hanging on my shoulders🙌🏽 since i don't have to do all those braid outs, twist outs, etc. My hair is flourishing❤
@@tinaclark1975 I started again with braidlocks 1/12/19 3rd time. I cant keep my hands out of my head. Theres this one spot on the top of my head that thins out because if it. I might have to wear gloves if i want to get to 12 months. Lol. Thanks for sharing Tina.
Don't feel bad. I've dyed my locs black too and I also have a few friends that also have locs and have colored theirs black as well. It's normal for the black to somewhat fade. Those natural hair colors starts to pop through. Think about when your hair was blonde and how your Sandy brown color grew back in. It's the same thing except now it's popping through the black. Especially on my ends, I didn't realize how brown my hair was until I colored it jet black. AND, I went black after having my locs the red color like Keisha Charmaine (TH-camr) I colored my locs 4 months into my journey. Started with orange highlights and then went straight RED and then toned down until it was a dark burgundy brownish color. Now 6 and a half years into my loc journey I'm black again. I actually went black year 2 of my journey and I love it. I really want to do a deep navy blue but don't want to bleach my hair again so maybe once my locs are waist length then I MAY bleach 4 or 5 locs and then switch up by changing the colors using rinses after the bleach job. Phewww that was a mouth full. Congrats again on your recent nuptials and congrats on your move. Can't wait to see the next video. Blessings to you❤️
Glad the Jet Black hair dye worked for you! My hair is what you were calling the "Ashy brown" lol... most Black men/women's locs end up that way naturally because of the sun .. as I've learned locs are supposed to look "dry" (FOR ME) as what you spoke was for you... and not that glossed off shiny look we get from the beauty supply store products. Moisture through water has been the best cure along with no products (For me). I think your hair sis beautiful so do you!
I agree. I spray rosewater on my hair and wild growth only on my roots. I have never had naturally black hair. I have locs so I can have 100% natural hair. If ppl wanna dye it that's up to them but it's never gonna be as healthy as it used to be and it's irreversible. Damage of some sort is to be expected. This journey is interesting viewing. I dyed my hair many colours wen I was a loose natural so all dem shenanigans are outta my system lol. The damage is inevitable u may not see it now but once u do notice u regret messing about with ur hair. When u first colour it u have fun then u realise uv trashed it lol. I've done all there is do with my hair and I'm not tempted to dye again. I love my hair as it is and it's growing more grey every month. As long as it's healthy I'm good. Shiny locs make no sense to me but never mind me. Enjoy the journey!
I am not sure if you do all ready do this, but invest in a color safe shampoo (especially designed for dyed black hair) if you can. This will help a great deal with the fading. Secondly, there are ways to get you hair black hair to "pop" again. You can dye ur hair again (but with a *demi or semi permanent dye* not permanent. This way you still get vivid color but your hair is left in a "healthier state". Also I found a video about color demositing hair masque that may help you... th-cam.com/video/hY4TlUSXNxw/w-d-xo.html Anyway, good luck and your locs are very nice!!

Im a hair stylist. Color last for 6-8 weeks if you dont use a color protective shampoo.
Mine lasted a year lol

Jet black is way hotter then blond. I have black high top dreads, looking to go jet black
I agree!
For me black is where it's at🖒🖒🖒🖒🖒
So, did dyeing it black damage it? Did she ever say it in the video?
she said it didnt strip her hair and it made her locs actually look more luscious!
I was asking myself the same thing...A year later and she never replied.
@@Makecookinglookeasy she said it around 7:00
I did blond and will NEVER do it again! FYI.... That doll head peeping out of that box. Lmbo ahhhhhh she needs to get in the bottom of that box.
I have the ashy brown color and I HATE it. I too dyed mine Black which have since faded. Uuugh

Im getting human hair loc extensions soon and when i do im gonna dye the ends a rich mahogany brown to compliment my skintone! I cant wait!
My hair is full of grey (uggghhh it sticks up & just crazy wild). Next week I am going to my stylist for black... with pops of blue & grey 🥰
Omg keep the black hair color!! Really, You look beautiful with it
Also, I make a lot of my own sprites for my hair, fresh rosemary, mint, rose water. This works wonders. Have you ever made your own? Would be nice to see a vid of you trying it out...it’s really nice. Try it!
I’ve bleached my hair and then dyed it dark brown and I’m going to do jet black now

How do you re dye black locs another color and it take
Hi Desiree you're hair is beautiful
Use a black rinse that will bring it back and a rinse is not harsh on your hair.
What song is in the background
✅ Question of the Day: If you could (safely) color your hair ANY color ... what would it be? 🤔
I so want salt and pepper locs. I'm only 31 but love the idea. Thinking about trying a temporary hair wax.
I have salt and pepper locs and wouldn't have it any other way. I love my grey hair because all grey hair looks different and it is my statement. I use a special shampoo to keep it bright. These are my natural highlights and they are one of a kind.
@ Desiree Marie. I colored my hair jet black yesterday and I’m loving it.
I have used hair paint wax and it allows the versatility without the damage. I also use manic panic because I have greys and it actually looks like I have streaks when I wash it out. Maybe the ACV is making your hair color fade faster than it should. Great video and conrgats on your marriage sis 🤗
If I could safely color my babies any color it would be purple as my first choice. Then maybe some red/orange tones would be my second choice.
Thanks for the info!!
Your locs are out control keep doing what your doing they are really flourishing.... They are gorgeous..... I noticed you don't have your nose piercing anymore....
Hi Desiree
Did your hair grow faster as a loose natural or with your locks?

U can always do a color rinse
Hi! You can try hair wax it's a form of temporary hair color that you can remove in a few days
@aneshiacbundy yeah I would like to try it just to see how certain colors look on me. I have a friend who did purple and it looked great
