Alright, guys, so I’ve been wanting to try something new with my hair for a while now. I’ve got this jet-black hair, and while I love it, I thought, why not add a little something-something to spice it up? That’s where the idea of colored highlights came in. Let me tell you, it was a journey!
Getting Started
First off, I decided to do some research. I looked up a bunch of pictures and articles online to see what color would even look good on black hair. I saw so many cool options, from deep blues to vibrant reds. After a lot of back and forth, I settled on a deep, rich burgundy. I thought it would give me that pop of color without being too loud. It felt like a good balance.
The Prepping
Next up, I had to get my hair ready. I knew bleaching was a must to get that burgundy to show up, and let me tell ya, bleaching dark hair is no joke. I watched a ton of videos on how to do it safely at home, but I’m no expert, so I decided to go to a salon. No way was I risking fried hair.
At the salon, the stylist sectioned off my hair and started applying the bleach. This part took a while, you know. We had to wait for the bleach to lift the color, and we did a few rounds. My scalp was tingling a bit, but nothing too crazy.
Adding the Color
Once my hair was light enough, it was time for the fun part – adding the burgundy! The stylist carefully applied the color to the bleached sections. I could see the color taking shape, and I was getting more and more excited. We let it sit for a bit to make sure the color really soaked in.
The Final Result
Finally, after what felt like forever, we washed out the color and blow-dried my hair. And there it was! The burgundy highlights looked amazing against my black hair. It was exactly the kind of change I was hoping for. It added this cool dimension and depth to my hair that I absolutely love.
- First decision: Picked a deep burgundy color.
- Prepping stage: Got my hair bleached at a salon (safety first!).
- Color application: Watched the stylist work her magic.
- End result: Loving the new look!
So, yeah, that’s my little adventure with getting colored highlights on my black hair. It was a bit of a process, but totally worth it. I’m really happy with how it turned out, and it’s always fun to try something new, right?
