Here is my new hair color. I punked out and got lighter highlights on the top half instead of getting the entire top half all colored. I did this so it would be less damage if any. So far, so good. I havent seen any damage. Here is my hair in a bun. I haven’t done much to it since I got it highlighted last Sunday because I didn’t want to mess with it too much. Now, I’m ready for all sorts of hair styles. So..here it is: ...
I love color. Just remember if you get color, take really good care of it. The good thing about being natural is, color damages our hair less than it would with someone with a relaxer.

Are you afraid to do it? What colors are hot on curly, coily, & kinky hair? I am really feeling the two toned look with the lighter hair on...
