- Darker Colors Are Dull Under Low Light (Dark Locks)
I finally got my purple highlights, and it came out really good under the flash (it honestly look like it glows under flash), but it is very dull under regular light. This is not as bright as the Jerome Spray (both the purple and the auburn), but it definitely more natural looking then both sprays.
I honestly like it, and I think the lighter color will do better than the darker colors on my sisterlocks. I highly recommend this as an option to spice up your locks with color. You can check out the updated post about pastel on chalk here (that was done under the flash light). I think I may need to get some holding spray to see if the color would last even longer.
The below pictures were taken with my phone, which show how the actually purple color look under regular light. Trust when I say the darker colors would do well with bleach hair, but with darker color hair, it looks very dull and not very noticeable. When I apply this again in the future, I will do another post, and this time with the lighter colors. Please avoid my mistake, and do not apply this with regular chalk on your sisterlocks. You need premium, high pigmented soft pastel chalk.

Kreyola purple suits you! It is cool. I saw another dyed look yesterday I want to try but after twice bleaching this year I better not. Maybe I will chalk in the future since you've done such a good job with reviewing it :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for your respond and compliment. I hope you see this, but what do you use to bleach your locks? I'm sure most of the colors would look good with your bleach hair :D.
DeleteI use Clairol Powder and Cream Devoloper 30 for about $7 at your local beauty supply.
