Color Information:

Alisha is wearing Creative Image Adore semi-permanent rinse in 68-Crimson. Her natural hair color is very dark brown; her hair was previously lightened three levels (no bleach) which allows this rinse to show vividly. (See more about hair dye basics.)

Total Time:

Total style time for this method is about two and a half hours depending on how fast your hair dries and how quickly you can straighten your hair.

Keep and Care:

To preserve this style, you can do a traditional wrap around your head and secure with a satin scarf, or pin curl sections and cover with a bonnet.
