Color Addict Alert: New Color Scheme for 2015

 OMG!  I could not wait to color my hair again!  So here's my new custom color look.  

Color placement by Benita Blocker.

Side swept with some Jamaican Mango and Lime Island Oil.

I needed a moderate weight oil to balance all the clarifying shampoo that I used to get the other color out.

 I attempted to pre-blend the liquid chalk colors, but they did not mix well.  So I colored small pieces at a time.

 I got the color bug; however, I am using 

no bleach, no hot irons, no henna, and no relaxers.  

Of course, I am trying to justify why it is okay for me to be a haircolor addict.

Before the new color scheme, I wet set my locs with Design Essentials Honey.  

This is my 33 months loc-versary.

  Will I ever go back to black?

Update: Liquid Chalk Removal and Wet Length Check-in

I have good and bad news.  The good news is that the L'Oreal Technique Liquid Chalk Intense Hair Makeup last for an average of 2 shampoos according to the "peel back" label.  The bad news is that with coarse, porous hair like mine, it took 7 (seven) back to back clarifying shampoos to get the majority of the liquid chalk out.  As you can see in the picture, I still have some remnants left.  I liked the color so I will probably add it back in.

 I wanted to wear the "pink/magenta" color too,  but I would want a more short term look.  I do not want to work so hard to get that color out of my locs again.

I was excited about learning how many shampoos will the liquid chalk last.  The answer for me seems like the liquid chalk can be almost permanent without use of clarifying shampoos to strip it out.  I also had to towel rub some.  It was quite a bit of work for  a quick 5 minutes of application.

Well, I am three days before my 33 months loc-versary.  This article serves as a wet length check.  I lost a few pieces of relaxed hair from off two of my ends.  I am okay with it.  I was a little rough with my locs trying to rub that liquid chalk out.  It comes with the territory.  I will not be able to mend the pieces back on because they are partly straight.  I believe all the clarifying shampoo lathers made my relaxed ends weak. I did condition a few times.  Once after the third lather and another after the final lather.
