Carson Dark and Lovely Fade Resist Rich Conditioning Color, Sunkissed Brown 377

Dye used Red Hot Rhythm 376! I have never used this dye before it was super simple. I have dark brown hair natural hair (looks black) and it lifted to a perfect copper ginger color I wanted! I had natural products on at first so the test strand didn’t change much. I washed my hair, stretched, and blow dried it and added the product until it was saturated my ends, roots and scalp and covered with a plastic bag and old bonnet (used about 2 bottles with some left over). I left it on for about 2 hours because 30 minutes didn’t change anything on my hair. I rinsed each section with warm water until the water was clear and used a mixture of the fade resist moisture mask with Doo Gro Mega Long reconstructor for 2 more hours and put a plastic bag over it. Curl pattern is a bit looser but more defined which I love (no damage at all). My hair is a dark shade of copper when wet and a slightly light shade when dry. (1st pic with dye on, 2nd pic about 2 hours after dye is on, 3rd pic of it wet with no dye, and 4th pic completely dry).

The media could not be loaded. I LOVED this! PSA‼️ If you have VIRGIN hair (I’m speaking on type 4 hair but this can go for any hair texture idk) I have 4c hair , and it’s virgin, and I got this deep brown and I love it, it compliments my skin so well. If you’re looking to make your hair DARK BROWN or a CHOCOLATE brown, chestnut blonde will get you that color. My roots are a little lighter than the rest bc of common hot root, if you wanna minimize that just do the length and ends of ur hair first for 15 mins, then after do the roots the last 15 mins. Personally I didn’t because I have thick hair and nobody got time for that. DO NOT get brown sable or brown cinnamon, I don’t think it’ll lift your hair that well. At the same time I used an overhead heat dryer bc i also have low porosity hair, that’s another thing as well. If you have LOW porosity hair, you NEED to sit under a dryer for maximum results. And if you can’t do that, at least put a plastic cap or bag over your head to trap the heat so the dye can penetrate your follicles. My hair was very soft afterwords, and it wasn’t stripping :)

First of all, I'm really happy with the product overall, and I actually just ordered a second box, which prompted me to write a review. I started with completely virgin, 2b dark brown hair. I am black/white mixed with a natural 3c curl, and very fine hair, but I always use a low heat iron to loosen the curl. I don't use any hair products except for raw African Shea butter and organic coconut oil. I wash my hair usually 1-2x a week, and waited 5 days from washing before bleaching. I left the product on for about 80 minutes altogether!! 50 minutes starting a half inch from the scalp, then another 30 applied at the roots. I also wrapped tinfoil around my hairline for the last ~25 minutes. I'm definitely happy with the texture of my hair afterwards, it feels completely soft and healthy in every way. It needed a LOT of toning but that's just because my hair is so naturally reddish so of course lightening automatically makes it bright orange at first. I recommend concentrated toning drops which you can apply directly to the hair, and/or add to your products. I'm going to apply again to achieve a more platinum blonde because I'm aiming for a "pink and white" cupcake Cyndi lauper inspired, more artistic look, and plan to add neon pink highlights. I recently moved from the country to a big city and I'm really having fun changing up my look to better fit the vibe of my awesome neighborhood. :) I'll update with the results.

everything came in place as it was perfectly fine, when i first started mixing the die it didn’t look purple instead its sort of red, i thought it wasn’t done mixing all the way and it would change when its on my head, i also have longer thicker hair and only got one boy so i left it on for longer(1hour) and my hair came out this pinkish red more like a redder magenta, i still love the color but pleaseee if you really want the color on the box, follow the instructions😂.

Love this color. It matches my eyes. It's gentle on my head, and no build up.
