(Part 2) Top products from r/FancyFollicles

Hooray for henna! I redid mine today, with a fairly similar process. I mix mine with strong black tea (cooled) and a bit of lemon juice for bleaching properties. I use the cheap stuff off amazon and am pretty confident that its legit. I also toss in some cinnamon to counteract the dirt-matcha scent, in case anyone else dislikes it as much as I do :)

My hair is naturally a medium ashy-brown, so the henna gives me a nice, natural auburn color, particularly in sunlight. I love it!

Amazon is your best bet. Look for blue toner rinses or shampoos or conditioners. Here is one I found by searching that isn’t insanely expensive:

For the blackness, that may ease a bit with a few shampoos.

Good luck, and bye I think it looks awesome anyway :)

Bumble and Bumble Sumo Wax

It is good stuff but not exactly cheap. But it doesn't take much, has a really strong hold. Melt it a bit with a hairdryer first to make it easier to use. Hope that helps!

I have a similar texture. I'm doing something based on the Curly Girl Method. I have seborrheic dermatitis, so I put tea tree oil in the conditioner wash I use.

Some days I use a sulfate free tea tree oil shampoo, and some days I co-wash with Suave Naturals Coconut Conditioner with a little tea tree oil mixed in. If you don't have scalp issues like I do, you can just use the conditioner by itself. I put a generous amount on my scalp and massage it in, then I put some Matrix Conditioning Balm on the ends and let it sit while I finish my shower. After I rinse, I put a dime-to-quarter sized dollop of the Suave Coconut in as a leave-in.

I towel dry it and then don't touch it as it air dries. The curls end up being well defined and soft. My hair used to be dry and gross, but after a few months of this, it's very soft, and my color lasts longer. The tea tree oil works as well as Selsun Blue for my dandruff too.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask. :)

Seriously, go 10 dollars over budget and get an HSI Flat Iron. I bought one recently, and my God it is amazing. By far the best flat iron I've ever used, and it's so freaking cheap.

Read some reviews if you don't believe me. But this will be your best hair decision yet. Promise.

In the past I've used Rainbow henna. They have different colors made from blends of natural plants (henna, cassia, and indigo are the main ones). I took a break for a couple years to get my hair totally un-messed with, then I used [Hannah Natural] (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B009YSTOAG/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o06_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1) 100% henna. The Rainbow henna was far more subtle than the Hannah Natural, which gave me the bright auburn. Hope that helps!

I would suggest get a bottle of super cheap shampoo or even soap/detergent and wash your hair with it for several days in a row, it can probably fade your hair color. It's not good for your hair but not nearly as bad as other options. Even if it doesn't completely fade you will still have a easier time taking out the rest of the color.

If you need to use color remover, be very very very careful and constantly check the mirror (like every minute) to make sure you don't overdo it. Unfortunately it will damage your hair no matter what, so let it lighten your hair just enough to dye over, don't let it go platinum blonde. Also avoid getting it close to your scalp.

You might also want to buy a bottle of Protein Filler (check your local beauty salon supply stores). Overprocessing your hair will result in "holes" on the surface if your hair, so any color you put in will quickly wash away. Protein filler fills in the holes and your hair color won't fade as quickly.

I've heard good things about volumizing powder that you put in the roots of your hair like the one from big sexy hair called power play. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00390DN34/ref=as_li_qf_sp_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=B00390DN34&linkCode=as2&tag=kandeethemake-20

Hi! I'm home from my trip. I checked my cabinets for any remaining red hair products and found a bottle of this. I guess I remember it being conditioner and not shampoo because I had to leave it on for 3-5 minutes when I used it. I did use conditioners as well, but I don't remember any of those very well. Wella does make red colour rinses though.

Hope this helps!

I'm going to add to this. I use this stuff, (link below). My hair is super heavy anyway, so getting it to have any amount of volume previously meant tons of teasing. But a little sprinkle of this and it's wonderful!

My favorite! Has lots of great scents.

I use a product by Scruples to achieve my curly hair! It smells great, and it works better than other products I've tried.

Henna!! I used to use it, and it's wonderful. People always asked me if it was natural. Sounds like exactly what you're looking for.

I really recommend this brand. Other brands can be fake or have weird chemicals in them. This is the real deal.

Try Amazon.com!
I could not find these bobby pins anywhere! All the ones they sell in my local stores are shaped like the ones in your picture: the ends look like a letter h instead of a v. Anyway, when I couldn't find the exact bobby pins I wanted, I had to buy them on Amazon.

I have had my hair every shade of red for the last 8 or so years. Here are a few tips/tricks off the top of my head.

-Use a sulfate-free shampoo. Sulfates are the main culprit for pulling out your color. I use Enjoy, however it is kind of pricey.

-You can also use a color depositing shampoo which will actually add some vibrancy back into your hair in between dying. I use this shampoo by Tressa Watercolors.

-Wash your hair in as cold of water as you can stand. Hot water opens the cuticles/pores of your hair, causing the color to fade faster. I actually wash my hair separately in cold water, clip it up when I'm done and then crank the heat for the rest of my shower.

-I'd also recommend a good deep conditioner. Right now I'm using this cheapy 3 Minute Miracle by Aussie, but it really works wonders in my opinion.

Lastly, I suggest you invest in a red towel or some other dark color. I have a set of red towels specifically for my hair after having stained many a white towel.

I'm pretty sure this is her wig...

fyi for those like me considering this - it's a buttload cheaper at amazon!

I'm not OP but I have medium brown hair (level 4 or 5) and I use Feria 74 Copper Shimmer. It makes my hair like this!

I don't exactly know what kind of synthetic fiber it is.

Yea, I kind of figured heat = no go lol.

This is the wig I bought. Perhaps that might help with more info.

Unfortunately, I just make my own blue or violet conditioner. You could try this one https://www.amazon.com/Joico-Color-Balance-Blue-Shampoo/dp/B00UTU1NLQ
It seems to have good review. I would suggest you research a bit on google and compare reviews to see which fits you. Most of them will help you bring some ashiness, in other words, mute your color slightly to make it less brassy.

I use the HSI straightener from amazon. I really like it. Some people say its comparable to the Chi and it's cheaper!

throw some bumble and bumble brilliantine in there and you are ready to go!

I was going to suggest a natural shampoo too - [this] (https://www.amazon.com/J-R-Liggett-Shampoo-Original-Formula/dp/B00016X68Q/ref=sr_1_2_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1494164301&sr=8-2&keywords=liggett) is the one I use

Like this?

My hair sucks. This is the only thing I have used that had excellent results!

I've seen protein filler on amazon. It's probably marked up a lot more than in America. I do know that Sally's doesn't sell any type of protein filler aside from protein treatments (which I think is different). The sales associate recommended me Aphogee two step protein treatment for bleaching/toning my hair b/c I was looking for protein filler too.

I was thinking of buying this?

I also have light brown hair, and I've currently dyed it with Feria 74 Deep Copper. It came out very similar to your sample photo, and so far it has lasted longer than henna, which I've frequently used in the past.

this miracle.

Recently tried this:

Denorex Dandruff Treatment System

Made my hair lose my oils (I felt that squeaky clean)

Renpure Solutions Cleansing Conditioner

J.R. Liggett Bar Shampoo, Herbal Formula

Suave Essentials Conditioner, Tropical Coconut

Mane 'n Tail Moisturizer - Texturizer

Shea Moisture Restorative Conditioner

Shea Moisture Raw Shea Retention Shampoo

When I first started co-washing, I used the last 3 products. At first everything felt/looked fine, but after a while, my hair felt 'ugh' and looked slightly frizzy. The other products I've bought and used afterwards and probably not as a long.

WAIT! Be careful. Henna is fucking wonderful, but there's a lot of weird, fake shit out there. You need to make sure it's literally just plants. Unfortunately, that means it has to be red. But henna red is incredibly beautiful and natural-looking.

Here's some legit shit.
