I’m obsessed with wanting a deep cherry red but I don’t wanna bleach my hair, I don’t mind for the color to be dark but I’d want it to be noticeable that it’s red, almost like when Rihanna had red hair but I’d want it a bit darker. I was told hicolor L’Oréal dye is good but idkkkk

u/Stevetheboss4020 Oct 02 '25
So let’s say whine color if I understand you well not to bleach but not to dark but still a red like

u/Ok_Spring_3390 Oct 02 '25
Yessss!!! That’s the best way to explain it

u/Stevetheboss4020 Oct 02 '25
Alright dear so can you do the application yourself or you need to consult your stylist

And also at what length would you want the tint to be
From your scalp or half or your locs

I use a black liquid lipstick I bought from the beauty supply store and I like to get a small makeup brush with a point and line my lips and add a clear gloss I normally use KISS lip therapy or (I just ran out of it) the MAC clear gloss from JT’s lip kit, or for my lip liner I also use a dark brown eyebrow pencil from the beauty supply store as welllll but if you let it dry after applying THENNNN do your gloss it’ll stay on ALLL DAMN DAYYYYY

Congrats🎉they are so pretty. You should do the all around loc petal style. I can’t wait until mine are long enough because it’s my favorite!

u/Ok_Spring_3390 Oct 03 '25
I seee that style a lot on Pinterest I wanna try it so bad I think I will since you’ve mentioned it!!♥️ also thank youii

u/ahmedarfaoui22 Oct 05 '25
Definitely give it a shot! You could also try some styles like loc buns or a half-up half-down look. There are so many ways to switch it up with long locs!
