Loved this video quick and simple. Do u need the highlits to lighten the hair. Is that a key ingredient n does it have to b copper if u using diff colors?

Ya locs are so pretty!! Questions tho : how long did you let the dye sit in ya head overall? And how long did you let the dye sit on your roots ?

[@thequalityname]

Thank you!! Honestly I'm not quite sure! I think I said it in the video 😅

[@MusicLoveLife1993]

First ! Your video was fantastic and your hair looks great. I’m ready to dye my hair - but I literally just did a retwist. Now I don’t really care if the roots are darker just looking for something brighter overall. Could I still dye with retwist ? Not washed, just retwist?

[@thequalityname]

*pretends it's not five years later* Aww thank you! You can definitely still dye them!

[@justcallmeD90]

I dye without bleach as well My hair is very spongey so I use alot of the in my hair as well My hair also pulls red naturally so I tend to stick to the red colours when I dye my hair The end result looks amazing

[@thequalityname]

Ahh gotcha!! Thank you for sharing! Aww thank you 🥰

[@justcallmeD90]

@@thequalityname you're welcome I don't dye my hair too often going forward I only plan on doing it every two years in the late fall early winter since I did it Dec of last year, the next time I'll dye it will be Nov/Dec 2022

[@azure-deejackson6532]

It’s so funny that you posted this video because I literally tried this same method using hiColor and developer (don’t remember the strength) a couple of years ago and the colour didn’t really take. You could only see the colour in certain lighting lol 😂 I love your results, came out beautiful 🤗 I think I might try again but in a few years or so. I’ve had the urge to cut my hair off and start from scratch even though I whole heartedly love my locs (I’ve been locked for around 4 years). I’ve had long hair since I was a baby and I’d like to try something new, out of my normal element. Anyways, I’m sorry for the long ass message. Not what I intended. Thanks for reading it/making it this far lol. God bless 🙏🏾☺️🇨🇦

[@thequalityname]

No freaking way lol! I definitely see how it's possible for it to not lift as much cause some of my babies said uh uh lol. Aww thank you!! 🤗 🤗 Oooo that'll be exciting!! and Yessss to change!! I think it'll be a lovely experience and the best part is you can always regrow your hair so why not experience it all! LOL you're super fine!! Thank you for sharing boo!!

[@genejaytre]

It’s only sold at Sally’s and when using this use equal parts of developer to tube. Example: 2oz to 2oz

[@thequalityname]

I actually found it a beauty supply store right next to Sally’s after we bought ours 😅 but thank you!

[@Yuppp2022]

Beautiful locs

[@nola2x200]

I’m bout to also ik watching all types of videos

[@bluebutterfly5684]

Your hair looks great!! I’m seeing this 2 years later. Did your hair stay soft? I’m contemplating coloring my locs, but I damaged them with bleach last time, and I’m wondering if the developer-only process kept your locs undamaged and soft?

[@thequalityname]

Thank you!! I had to intensify my moisturizing routine! I’m not sure if there is a difference but I hope you were able to find peace while waiting on my response (my apologies) 🫶🏽

[@feelthe_melody]

The color turned out bomb ! What kind of camera did you use for this video!?

[@thequalityname]

Thank you ! My iPhone XR

[@ginabeana3469]

omg i can't believe how well the color took without bleach !!! it's taking everything in me not to run to the hair store and get me some 😩 also question: did the color stain your bathtub/shower ? and did the color penetrate inside the loc, or was it just kinda the outside (if that makes sense) ?

[@tayfierce13]

If you can wash ya hair (after you applied) in the kitchen sink it will not stain it if you are nervous.

[@ericadiane2687]

there’s a lightning agent in it, that’s why you need the developer to activate it. i’ve used it before and it didn’t stain my bathtub. you just have to clean it once you’re done ☺️

[@thequalityname]

Sammmmme!!!! LOL did you go??? No ma'am it didn't stain but I'd still move quickly on rinsing everything out!! From what I can tell the lighter ones are where the color penetrated the locs (it makes total sense) 🥰

[@thequalityname]

Thank you for helpingggg @Yolanda Simmons & @erica diane !!

[@stephaniasantos4695]

The white liquid is a form of bleaching/lightening agent..

[@WorthyAsIAm]

Love the color 🤎 was this done on damp hair ?

[@thequalityname]

Thank you! No it was dry. I hadn't washed my hair in 3 weeks.

Thank you!!

[@tttaaannn1]

Looks so good! If there isn’t any bleach in it you can start from the roots. Color just deposits on top. Bleach changes the bonds of your hair.

[@thequalityname]

Thank you! Oh wow I had no idea thank you for sharing ☺️☺️

So when bleaching I start from the ends to the roots?

Aww thank you!! I'm praying for you but also I'd wait to see my thoughts on having color treated hair! It drops on Friday!

The ends are actually more porous and take color faster. You should start at the middle, then do the roots and ends.

[@thequalityname]

Ahh gotcha! Thank you !

[@charlenesmith2104]

Great job thanks for sharing

[@thequalityname]

[@respectmyswaggaful]

How long u let it sit after adding the Cajun spice before washing? And did u wash it with shampoo and conditioner ?

[@thequalityname]

I believe 30 minutes (buuut I might’ve said it in the video 😅) I washed it after!

[@Tianainflow]

So bomb!!! 😍I see you mixing the developer and the copper hicolor together did you also go ahead and mixed in the adore Cajun spice with them??

Thank you!!! 🥰

I have the same question did she put adore Cajun spice after the hicolor or mixed it

You went from jet black to ginger... was your hair dyed jet black or is that your natural color? I had my stylist do a skunk patch on my locs, but she didn't get the roots nor did she get all of the section that I wanted dyed, so I want to go back and do it myself, but I'm scared that the colors will be off. I dyed it jet black prior to the brown skunk patch.. I'm also wondering if I will need to bleach, or can i skip that part?

[@thequalityname]

That's my natural color! Ahhh gotcha it may need to sit longer to truly lift the color. I would ask a colorist tho to make sure!

[@saniyyahmuhyee2697]

Hello I was wondering does your friend know if this would be safe for someone to do who has had a allergic reaction to the box hair color such as dark and lovely box. It has been years ago I was wondering does those products have similiar ingredients. I have locs and have been wanting to die my hair as well. Thanks

@@thequalityname i’m sure i don’t moisturise as much as i should, i do so maybe like once a week realistically but when i’m super conscious of it i do moisturise it 2 or 3 times a week. i use vitamin e oil mainly but sometimes use shea butter, argan or castor oil and water in a spray bottle

[@genetteh.2224]

my sister and i are coloring our hair this summer. i'm loc'd, she's not. did you condition afterwards, or just stick to your usual regimen of castille, free the roots, and castor oil? because i don't condition now, and don't really want to, since the jbco keeps it just as moisturized as it was when i was a loose natural.

[@thequalityname]

I stuck to my routine! but I would suggest conditioning and I would also look at As Told By Brittany's page she has some great colored locs advice!

[@supersizemylife]

Does anyone know how they actually mixed it? Like how much of what they used for the mix? Was the adore mixed in with the hicolor and developer?

[@thequalityname]

Hi!! I mentioned quantities in the description box and the hi color and developer were mixed together and then the adore was used after rinsing ☺️

[@BigAqua97]

Did you dye your hair black before this?

[@thequalityname]

No I didn’t. My hair is naturally super dark

[@myjoyunleashed568]

💓so cute... sidenote... I died laughing when I read my boyfriend can fight lol.

[@thequalityname]

Thank you 🥺 🤣🤣🤣 I’m all jokes

[@meccaslife8383]

My question is.. does the number on the developer matter? I wanted to get the 30

[@chidinmaamogu1394]

typically the higher the number the stronger it is! hicolor typically says use 30/40 developer but i would recommend not going above 30 as 40 is more likely to damage/melt your hair! And if you have loose hair (not in locs) I would recommend only using 20 developer as a lot of people say 30+ developer can damage your natural curl pattern (but that’s less important is you have locs)

[@thequalityname]

ooo thank you for helping @Chidinma Amogu ! I'm so grateful for you because I had no idea!!
