thanks all!
I absolutely LOVE the color, i only wish it were my own :(
Snails pace thus far, all i have is some nice sections. I can't wait for my first knot or loop!!!
I just have to keep reminding myself that slow progress is still progress.

Wow, gorgeous colour!! Even if it's "from a bottle", I still love it ;) if my hair were lighter I'd try something like that, OR really funky!

Yea, but it looks good! You have quite straight hair also, so it'll probably take longer for the first knots to form. As far as I've heard your hair will at some moment suddenly get into a spurt. When the first knots appear, many, many more will follow soon.

I'm really looking forward to seeing the rest of this progress! It looks promising to me! :)

Technically from a powder ;) you could go over your hair with henna & you might see some red streaks shine through! i would love to go something very different again but I think i'm not even going to upkeep this color, just let it grow back in blonde.
Very straight hair. I lost the little wave I once had. Can't wait for the first knot, & if that means more are soon to follow great!!!
I'll be updating each month, noticeable progress or not lol.

I added a dye/before photo so you can see just how straight, & see what i used to dye :)

I think it's looking awesome! And when you put the timeline up like this, comparing months side-by-side, it's much easier to see the progress. :)
