A/N: hey how about that! there’s no trigger warnings to look out for in this chapter :’)

Amara leaned against the bedroom doorway where Nik was staying. “Good afternoon, sleeping beauty.”

Nik rolled over, squinting at her. “You’re still alive.”

“What, a few days of nothing but Cameron supposed to kill me?” Amara snorted, and flopped down on the bed beside him.

“The fact he hasn’t killed you in your sleep says something.”

“Says he needs someone to take care of before he turns into a literal skeleton, is all. But if I said that to him, he wouldn’t let me stay, now would he?” She plopped a bag beside Nik. “I brought you a gift, and it wasn’t a conversation about your alpha’s issues.”

“And what’s in the bag?”

Amara opened it. “All the supplies we’d need to cut and dye your hair back to it’s former glory. I even brought you plenty of colors to choose from if you want something new and funky.” Amara patted his head.

Nik wrinkled his nose at her. “Have you ever cut hair?”

“Yeah, sure I have.” Amara grinned. “Or I wouldn’t offer to cut yours, you peacock. This is how I know you’re related to Nate, you know.”

“If you’re suggesting Nate would let you cut his hair, he’d break your fingers,” Nik said.

“Oh, no.” Amara gave a laugh. “I’m saying you’re both vain.”

Nik had the balls to look offended at that. “Pot meet kettle,” he said.

“Yeah, yeah, we’re all pretty little birds. Now get pick some colors so we can go make you look presentable again.”

Nik glared at her, but sat up and started to rifle through the bag. “Were you expecting to dye my hair rainbow? I’m not Nate.” He eventually settled on a deep emerald green. “Here. This.”

“Good choice.” Amara pushed at him. “Now to the bathroom we go. It’s time for aggressive bonding to make up for the not being friends for months.”

Nik grumbled at her as she bullied him into the bathroom. She fully expected it when he went for the window, pushing it open. Amara set up on the clippers and dye while he got settled, and then turned to Nik.

“Put your pretty butt on the toilet so I can get to clipping,” She said.

“Make me,” Nik said petulantly.

“I will shave your head,” she threatened, waving the clippers in his direction. Her threats were empty, and she was sure he’d know it, but what was friendship if not a little bit of consensual bullying?

“Shave my head, and I’ll drink all your booze,” Nik retorted.

“Don’t have any. Reneé dumped it before she moved out, and I didn’t buy any more. Find a scarier threat or sit down so I can make you pretty again.”

Nik squinted at her, but eventually plopped down on the toilet. She hummed, pleased, and went to work. It was nice, being close to Nik again, and she knew, while he was here at Nate’s, someone was keeping an eye on him. Not that Cameron wasn’t, but Cameron was grieving too, in his own way. That might be impossible for Cameron to admit, but Amara knew it was true.

Nik sat through the trimming and the bleaching and the dyeing silently. She was gentle, and let him have his silence, even though the whole process took hours. Once or twice Nate popped in, but Amara didn’t call him out on his fretting. Nate had every right to be worried, even if Nik was in very good hands.

Nate poked his head in as Amara was finishing up. She turned off the dryer, and turned Nik around. “Well?” Amara asked. “What do you think? I do good?”

Nate looked Nik over, and then said with a smile, “He looks great.”

“I always look great,” Nik muttered.

“Yeah,” Amara said, running her hands through Nik’s hair carefully. “You do.”

Nik pursed his lips. “Don’t flirt with me.”

“Oh, Nate can compliment you, but when I do, it’s flirting?” Amara scoffed. “You of all people should know the difference between my flirting and my flirting.” She thought about ruffling his hair, messing it up, but instead she stood and started cleaning up her mess. “I should probably go. Cameron’s probably not gonna be happy if I miss dinner.”

Nik shot her an amused look. “Are you going to start calling him daddy too?”

“No,” Amara said. “But someone needs to keep him on his schedule, or he’s useless to me.”

Nik looked down at the floor. She squeezed his shoulder.

“Hey. He’s doing fine. But i’m also not gonna risk getting kicked out tonight.” She turned to Nate. “Get him in some sun. I don’t wanna see a day where I’m more tan than he is.” As if that were possible, but she really did worry about him cooping up in bed too long.

---

It had been several days now that Ash couldn't keep anything in his stomach. The dark magic cast that had clearly been a failure, had been soaked into the earth and he had spent the entire time in a cold sweat and vomiting his guts up regularly. It was only now that his body gave him a break.

He went to find Nate, who was holed up in his art studio. "So, I'm not currently dying," he said, leaning against the doorframe. "Wanna see if Lev's soul got shredded in that shitshow of a spell?"

Nate looked at him with a tired, irritated look, putting down his barely used paintbrush. “Tactful as always, Ash,” he sighed. “But, yes. If you’re up for it. I don’t want you dying on me. I’d rather not have another ghost haunting me. Especially you. Then I’d never get any sleep.”

Ash ignored that particular dig. “Then let’s get moving. The sooner we get any kind of confirmation, the sooner this ludacris business will be over with and I can move on with my pain-free life.”

Nate got up from his stool and moved to the center of the room to a paint splattered rug and sat cross legged. Ash watched from the doorway and he could taste the dark magic in the air- dark magic, but not… dark magic. Death was a shadowy world and Nate’s magic had the ability to snuff out life, even after death- to leave a soul nothing more than a forgotten memory.

Nate sucked in a sharp breath, eyes snapping open when he felt… something, a spirit ripped into space, nearly crashing into the floor.

“Well,” Ash said, “I’m guessing that answers that question.”

Nate reached over, taking ahold of the spirit, bringing it to a physical form. “Are you alright?” Nate asked, tiredly.

“What- happened?” Lev asked.

“Tried to bring you back to life,” Ash said. “It failed, dark magic made me sick for a week. Nik got his hair dyed, Cameron fainted because he didn’t eat for over a month. You know, normal things.”

Lev looked to Nate. “Is it supposed to hurt? Like this?”

Nate lifted his shoulder in a helpless shrug. “I don’t know,” he said, quietly. “Your soul just- disappeared. I was worried it got shredded.”

“How long was I gone?” Lev asked.

“A week,” Nate said.

“Spent the whole time vomiting, but you know. Like I just said. Besides, is your soul intact? Do you feel… something missing at all?”

“I feel whole… it just hurts. But it doesn’t.” Lev stopped, and gave a hysterical laugh. “Phantom pain.”

That got an unexpected snort out of Ash. “Okay, puns are my thing,” he said, feeling an uptick of a smile on his face. “But as long as your soul is intact, I see no reason why Amara would stop trying to bring you back.”

“She probably won’t,” Lev said, sounding very, very tired.

“Do you want to come back at all?” Nate asked, quietly. “If you don’t, I will make her stop.”

“What I want and what i should do are two different subjects,” Lev said, after a pause.

“Well,” Nate said, with that legendary patience. “I didn’t ask you what you should do. I asked you what you wanted to do.”

Stars, he could really tell Nate was Bay’s mate. They were both annoyingly similar sometimes.

Lev looked to him, looking very guilty. “I want it.”

“Well,” Ash said, rubbing his temples. “Don’t let me stop you.”

“I wish it didn’t hurt you,” Lev said. “It would make my decision a lot easier.”

“Don’t stop on my behalf,” Ash said, tiredly. “The others haven’t. You might as well join the majority.”

“What- Lev?”

Ash froze at that voice, cursing himself for not being able to hear Nik. He was too damned good at being able to move around like a shadow. Nik was staring at Lev, wide eyed. “What’s going on? And why am I never told a single fucking thing about it.”

Lev looked at Nate, a little stricken. “I’m not supposed to talk to him,” he said, almost a plea to not tell Bay; to not get in trouble with him.

“Yeah well,” Nik said, “Fuck what Bay says. He can get in line after you talk to me because everyone seems to get to talk to you except for me.”

“That would be because you’ve been a wasted train wreck who has been suicidal and nonstop drunk for the last four months while also taking heavy drugs, and oh yeah, overdosing on said drugs. So forgive me for not wanting to watch you have yet another emotional breakdown when your boyfriend must once again disappear into Ghost Land.”

“Ash,” Nate chastised.

Ash ignored him and kept his attention on Nik. “Be pissed all you want, but you know you would have gone even further off the deep end if we told you and you fucking know it.” When Nik looked moments from snapping back, Ash said, coolly, “Do not forget, I know when you’re lying.”

Lev gave such a quiet, “Ash please” that even he could barely hear.

Ash cut Lev a look. “Am I wrong?”

“No, but yelling isn’t going to make anything better.” Lev said. “It’s just hurting people.”

“Yes, hello,” Nik snapped. “You all seemed to have forgotten I am in this damned room and I am tired of everyone ignoring me and my wants. But hey, at least we’re all treading around me like I’m some delicate flower who needs their hand held. Lev. Talk to me.”

Lev slowly looked at him. “They didn’t tell me you dyed your hair green. It looks nice.”

“It’s queer coding for Nik is a train wreck,” Ash replied. “However, yes. It does look nice.”

Nik smiled just a little bit. “Four months and the first thing you tell me is my hair looks nice? I always look nice.”

Well, that was a lie, but whatever.

“Yeah but it’s a new nice. I haven’t seen green streaks in your hair before,” Lev said, to Nik.

“Looks good, doesn’t it?” Nik said. “Almost went for orange but… i don’t want that clashing with my skin… and my aesthetic… can’t ruin it. Won’t do it.”

“I think you would look very nice with orange streaks,” Lev said, loyally.

“Oh I’m sure you would,” Nik said, his smile growing just a little bit more. “Cameron, however, would not think your opinions on the matter are valid, considering you wear jorts. So.”

Nate had winced at that. Clearly Nate was on the same fashion spectrum as Ash and Cameron seemed to be.

“You’re bullying me again,” Lev said, petulantly, returning Nik’s small smile.

“Mmm. Am I?” Lev laughed a lil at that. He looked happy. Nik looked a shadow of it, not quite, but not the void he was. Somewhere in the middle. Somewhere between dead and alive. “Did- are you alone? Just watching us?”

“I have company,” he said. “Nate talks to me. I’ve been trying to not hover so much. It seemed to make you agitated.”

Nik’s face fell, seeming to fold in on itself. His scent changed, soured almost. “I’m sorry,” he said, voice more echo than true words.

Lev looked so guilty. “It’s not your fault,” he said. “I needed the space to think anyway.” When Nik didn’t say anything, Lev added, “Coming back is… complicated.”

Nik began picking at his bracelets and seemed to struggle with what to say. Nate looked to Ash meaningfully, and Ash chose this particular time to once again paint himself as the bad guy. “Alright,” he said, pushing off the doorframe. “I think visitation time is over. Lev tell your boyfriend goodbye.”

“Are you okay with that?” Lev asked Nik.

Nik’s breath was too shallow, and Ash didn’t think Nik was going to answer at all. Especially when he was still picking at his bracelets. He could tell Nik’s blood pressure was rising and he was going to damn well fight an anxiety attack to keep himself in this room with Lev. “No,” Nik said, tightly.

“Lev,” Ash said, sharply.

Lev looked from him back to Nik. “If you need me, Nate can get me.”

Nik didn’t say anything, Ash wasn’t sure he was capable of saying anything. The only response Nik had was blinking hard, tears slipping down his cheeks. He wiped them away harshly and turned on his heel, pushing past Ash and disappearing down the hall.

“I fucked up again, didn’t I?” Lev said.

“No,” Ash said. “Nik. Is grieving. You didn’t do anything.”

He didn’t wait for anything else from either Nate or Lev before disappearing after Nik. He found Nik in the kitchen and grabbed his arm before he tried looking for what he always did. “You. Cannot. Drink.”

Nik whipped around and glared at him. “And why not?”

“Because I said so?” When Nik tried arguing with him, Ash said, “Alright. How about because your alpha said so and one step out of line means you don’t get to go home. Nik. Please. Let’s go outside. Beach, maybe?”

Nik’s face fell faintly, but it was enough Nik stopped fighting him on it. He wiped at his face again. “Fine. But you’re buying me lunch.”

“Fine,” Ash said, relieved.

“Wherever I want.”

“Deal.”

Sorin poked his head in Cyrus’ study. It was even more a wreck than before. Where it’s chaos had been confined to the desk, now books lay scattered on the floor, and Cyrus was sprawled over piles of notes.

For days Cyrus had been cooped up, going over his notes repeatedly. Sorin had barely been able to drag him to bed. He was about ready to do so again, now, but watching Cyrus work, brow furrowed in thought as he chewed on a ring absently, made Sorin pause.

“I’ve stayed up too late again, haven’t I?” Cyrus finally said, looking up.

“A bit.”

Cyrus hummed, and then went back to staring at his notes.

“I’ll make you a deal,” Sorin offered with a wheedling tone. “I’ll make you breakfast tomorrow if you go to bed soon. Like, now soon.”

“That seems rather unfair. I get up earlier, and I cook the oatmeal better.” Cyrus smiled down at his books. “You’re going to have to offer better if you want a deal.”

Sorin snorted, but before he could figure out what to offer, Cyrus snapped his head up. Before he could process it, Cyris jumped up and kissed Sorin, hard. “You angry ginger genius,” Cyrus said, ruffling Sorin’s curls.

“I’m confused,” Sorin said. “What did I do?”

“Well,” Cyrus corrected. “I’m the genus, but you brought the inspiration.” He wandered to the desk, and pulled out a piece of paper. He scribbled a quick, ‘I have the solution. Bring Amara, either tonight or tomorrow’, and sent the paper away with a flutter of magic. “We need a better deal.”

---

Cameron had allowed AMara access to the front seat, provided she keep her mouth shut. He had the windows up for once, faint music playing, but that didn’t seem to stop her from sitting ramrod stiff like Nik did, except she was holding onto the safety bar.

“Would you like me to roll down the windows?” he finally asked, mildly.

“Won’t do anything, it’ll be fine,” she said. “I trust you to not crash the car.”

He did not want to sit next to this halfway panicked omega while he drove. “If you trusted that, then you wouldn’t be holding on for dear life,” he said. “What do you normally do to stop acting neurotic?”

“My instincts don’t always line up with logic,” she said. “Normally I drink, but I can’t do that right now. This is why I drive a motorcycle.”

“You have been in this car several times,” Cameron said. “And against my will at that. What do you do then?”

“Talk to Nik.”

“Then call him,” Cameron said, in a bored tone, digging out his phone, unlocking it, and dropping it in her lap. “I trust you to know his number by now.”

Amara did as told and called Nik. “What are you doing?”

“Amara?” he heard Nik, say a little bewildered. “...Why do you have Cameron’s phone. Oh stars, tell me you didn’t actually kill him.”

Cameron rolled his eyes.

“I didn’t tell Cameron I didn’t like riding in cars in silence,” Amara said, “And he doesn’t like talking to me.”

“Don’t like your voice, either,” Cameron said. “We must all make sacrifices.”

“Okay, but Cameron doesn’t like anyone,” Nik pointed out, not able to hear Cameron’s response.

“Just tell me what you’re doing,” Amara told Nik. “Distract me.”

Nik was quiet on the other line, just for a few seconds before, “Ash promised me the ocean. And food. I’m fucking hungry and apparently I’ve barely eaten in the last few days.”

Cameron sighed irritably. Maybe he should have nailed it into Nate’s head to make sure he fed his idiot brother as well. This is what he got for assuming Nate had common sense.

“I’d say I’d come and join you after we’re done, but you know how much I hate the ocean.”

“Well I didn’t say you had to swim, Mar,” Nik said, sounding petulant. “And just Ash keeping me company is going to make me drown myself. He’s trying to mom me.”

“You need to be momed,” Amara said. “You’ve been a wreck.”

“Okay, then come play the role of mami if you’re going to be like that,” Nik said, with the smallest hint of a smile in his tone. “Otherwise I’m going to slip the leash again.”

“I need you to hang in there,” Amara said. “I’ll be around more soon, I promise. I’m sure there’s something fun we can do that doesn’t involve alcohol.”

He heard Nik groan loudly at the other end of the line. “How soon,” he asked. “I’m all twitchy and you’re the only person i fucking know who doesn’t bother lying to me.”

“After I’m done with my field trip with Cameron, I’ll come over,” Amara said. She paused before adding, “Unless something dramatic comes up. Everything seems drama lately.”

“Fine,” Nik said. “We’ll be at the beach. Don’t forget sunscreen for your delicate skin. If you forget, we already brought some for Ash.”

“I’m offended,” Amara said. “My side of the family doesn’t burn. Well. Reneé does, but that’s because she’s a ginger.”

He could hear Ash scoff in the background.

“Mhmm,” Nik said. “I’m sure.”

They came up to the house settled in the woods. “We’re here. Tell Nikolas goodbye, Amara.”

“I gotta go Saint Nikolas,” Amara said. “Stay out of trouble and I’ll let you punch me for calling you that.”

Nik retorted something, but it was cut off as Cameron took the phone from her. “Behave,” Cameron said. “I’ll stop by later.” And with that he hung up and got out of the car.

He didn’t bother waiting for Amara to catch up with him before walking into the house and going straight to the study where Cyrus was waiting. “You summoned me?” Cameron asked, shoving his hands in his pockets.

“We didn’t offer anything in exchange.”

“Consider me shocked,” Cameron said. “Did you have something in mind? I’m sure Death doesn’t take monetary payment.”

“I figure it’s fair to give Death a life for a life,” Cyrus said. “Kill the man who killed him.”

“That would be my brother,” Cameron said.

“Well it’s not like Cameron’s going to do it,” Amara said. “When do you need him?”

When Cameron didn’t offer any input, Cyrus said, “I need to come with you. So I’d rather we wait until tomorrow, at the very least. I need to contain his soul so we can use it in the spell.”

“Anything else?” Cameron asked, mildly.

“Are you feeling up to helping me cast the spell?”

“I said I would,” Cameron clipped out.

“I didn’t ask if you would, I asked if you could.” Cyrus said. “I won’t do it unless you’re healthy enough to.”

“Well here I am,” Cameron said. “The picture of health. Anything else?”

“Is there anything we need to change about the spell? Setting wise? Process wise? Is there anyone else that needs to be present?”

“It will be done at my house,” Cameron said. “Nik will not be there. Neither will Nate or Amara, They’re both going to keep Nik away from here. Ash will be there to make sure his body is functioning, as neither you nor Sorin are healers, and Sazra is a demonic healer and Lev’s body will likely be too delicate to withstand demonic healing. Anything else you need to know?”

Cyrus shook his head. “Let me know when you guys plan on killing Destris so I can join you.”

Cameron picked at a nail, but nodded and turned on his heel and went to the car. He heard Amara behind him, and before she could start on her tirade, he said, “Backseat.”

“You’re not even going to discuss what I, a full grown adult, am going to do? I don’t mind keeping an eye on Nik, but you didn’t even ask.”

“No, I am not,” Cameron said, stopping at his car and looking her squarely in the eye. “As you keep reminding me, I am Lev’s alpha. You are not. Cyrus contacted me, and not you, making this my problem, and not yours. And since this will be done at my house, with my omega, you are going to listen to me, and if you do not, I will physically restrain you and keep you from stepping foot near me, Nik or Lev until everything is well done and finished. Understand?”

When she did not respond to him, Cameron got into the driver's seat and waited for her to obey him and get in the back. Only when she did, did he hear her mutter under her breath about this being her idea. Might have been her idea, but as soon as she opened her mouth, and her idea fai9led the first round, Cameron was taking it into his hands and not leaving this in the hands of an impulsive child who can babysit Nik for him while he made sure this went smoothly. “I will not be with you when you kill Destris,” Cameron said, pulling the car out onto the road. “And when you watch Nik, do not let him drink. Ash is very insistent on it.”

“I know.”

“You will call me when it is done,” Cameron said, flicking her a look through the mirror. “And I will make the necessary arrangements. I trust you can kill a demon without someone holding your hand.”

“Destris would be dead within twenty-four hours,” she said. “Do you want proof?”

Cameron thought about that for a few minutes, quiet and not saying anything. “No,” he said, “I do not.”

---

Nik laid out on the sand, eyes closed while he took in the sun, the sounds of the ocean and the people around him. Even with the beach swarmed, and with Ash next to him, he still felt eerily alone. And almost like the perfect timing did his phone buzz with a text from Amara.

Mar: Hey, a job came up, but if you still need me, I’ll come

Nik thought about it. However, he had the feeling if she did show up, her brain would be elsewhere and it wouldn’t even be like she was there to begin with. Might as well let her get on her way so she could pretend like she was actually there.

Nik: It’s fine. Do your thing

He put his phone back down and folded his hands over his stomach, closing his eyes. He felt Ash sit down next to him. “Do you want to swim?”

Nik was silent for a few moments. “No, I don’t think I want to. Just sit here and not think for a while.”

Ash settled in the sand next to him and Nik looked over, raking his eyes over Ash’s frame. “You going to put on that sunscreen so your pale ass doesn’t fry?”

Ash cut him a glare, and made a point about how he settled with his eyes closed. “I’ll heal. Still want to get something to eat afterwards?”

“Yeah,” Nik said. “Withdrawal has been a pain in my ass so I’m trying to get something in my stomach.”

“Probably wise,” Ash hummed, slipping his fingers in Nik’s hair, pulling it out of his closed eyes. “Anywhere you’re wanting to go in particular?”

“Guelaguetza, I think,” Nik said. “Miss being able to taste my food.”

“Whatever you want,” Ash said.

“You’re being suspiciously accommodating,” Nik observed, sneaking a peek at him.

Ash twitched his mouth to the side, looking a little amused. “Well, I did say you could choose. And since you’re not being a pain in my ass at this particular moment of time, I thought I would give you a treat for behaving.”

“Hmmm. Fine.”

“Mhmm,” Ash said, settling back down in the sand with a heavy sigh. “Fine indeed.”

----

The restaurant was full of color and food and sounds. Nik seemed pleased to be here, even if they did have a rather long wait. Nik seemed happy enough and that was worth the time spent waiting for a table. The happy chatter around them was filled with laughter and the lovely waitress brought menus for both Nik and Ash.

He had Nik order his food for him since Ash had no idea what to get, but Nik seemed to know exactly what he would want. Nik traced lines into the brightly colored floral print decorating the tables, humming a song Ash didn’t know under his breath. It had been- quite some time since he heard anything like that from Nik.

Their food was brought out to them and Nik happily started digging into his food. Ash started on his own, and he was surprised there was only a faint burn in his mouth. Nik gave him an amused, dry look. “I got the mild. Just for you.”

“I’m touched,” Ash deadpanned.

“Anything for you, vato,” Nik said, with a sickening sweetness.

Ash rolled his eyes, but watched him carefully while Nik ate. After a few minutes, Nik closed his eyes, looking away from his food. “You alright?” Ash asked, mildly, taking a bite from his food.

“I think I ate too much, too fast,” Nik said, pushing his plate back just a bit. He seemed to wait, to see if his stomach would settle, but then abruptly got up and disappeared to the back.

A waitress seemed concerned and asked Ash if his friend was okay; if there was something wrong with the food.

“No,” Ash said. “It’s perfect. He’s just not feeling himself.”

She smiled at him, tan face bright and dark eyes sparkling. “I hope he feels well soon.”

Ash had the feeling Nik would not be feeling well any time soon, but he still offered her the same smile in return. “I hope so, too.”

16 stunning bright red hair colors

A bright red hair color is an ultra-warm and intense red shade that is dyed on the hair in the form of highlights, an ombre, a dip dye or a full solid shade. Warning: this is not for weak hearts!

Fiery tones of red hair have seen their revival this season, as is famous on celebrity divas Christina Hendricks, Chloe Dykstra and Jennifer Morrison. All boundaries are broken when it comes to how extremely lively you can be with your curls, and everyone gets moving!

Tennessee hair artist Josh Boynton presents his hottest ruby hair creations on his lining, and there's only one thing to say: it's pure perfection. From mermaid waves to slim and straight, bobs to waist lengths, bright red tones prove that you can never be too bright with red!

But of course, with great results comes great responsibility. Use color-safe products, wash with cold water and follow the advice of your trusted colorist religiously. Do this and you will surely turn your head for a long time!

Ready to set your look on fire? Get started now by taking a look at these trendiest examples of bright red hair colors!

Light long red hair

How would you describe this look?

Every time I see this beautiful hair tip, I can only think of the iconic hibiscus flower. Fashion / vibrant color is 100% a passion of mine. I've been making this guest's hair for some time now, but the first time I dyed her hair it was a pretty vigorous color correction that went from adult to old color / blonde!

Every time I make color, whether it's a fashion or natural color, I love to add dimension and depth to the hair. If you can't tell from checking out my Instagram page, I'm a big fan of bright vivid reds. Fashion / vibrant colors will always have a special place in my heart, but I'm having fun adding a more modern and trendy twist to it.

Of course, the haircut plays a crucial role in the overall look, including the effects on the color. Having these soft long layers, but then breaking up really soft by adding texture and bringing even more dimension to what is so important to me. Everything in terms of color, cut and style should be coherent so that the beginning and the end complement each other.

Any advice for someone considering it?

Although this is my expertise, I would not recommend this service to everyone. It is definitely a lifestyle. The reality of this color is that it's high maintenance, so the first thing you should always do before making an appointment to book this type of service (if you've never had a fashion color) is for one To come in consultation with your stylist.

Once you've decided that this is something you want to go forward with (awesome!), Just keep in mind that when you leave the salon, your job is not done. It is imperative that you have professional products (shampoo, conditioner, styling products) at home that will help prolong the longevity of your color and maintain the integrity of hair health.

Do little things like washing your hair in cold water and maybe not heat styling it so much is always helpful. It's just one of those things – if you're at a point where you would have fun and exciting hair, I absolutely think that everyone should at least try. Make sure you do your research. Let me tell you it's worth it!

Light copper bob

How would you describe this look?

I love this color and cut combination. We wanted to create a dull bob look that looks good even with beach waves. I created waves with styling iron and salt spray. Dark copper roots with lighter copper teasy lights add dimension to the hair and make it look thicker than it actually is. Red copper tones also look super good with customers light skin tones.

Any advice for someone considering it?

This bright red haircut is perfect for someone struggling with thin hair. Styling with sea salt or powder spray increases the volume of the hair and makes it look fuller if you style it with waves or just keep the hair straight.

Hot copper tones look good, someone with a light skin tone. The important thing is to find the right shade of copper for customers complexion and style. Copper tones make hair look shiny and healthier. If the customer wants to be brave and turn his head, this look is great for them.

Light red violet

How would you describe this look?

For this look, I first applied a dark red base and balayaged the lighter red throughout the hair, so thin pieces of the darker base color went through the ends for a small dimension. The cut is a long layered cut with an angled front and bangs. To style, I always apply a leave-in conditioner before blow-drying and then dry the hair with a round brush. Next I sprayed a light layer of hairspray and then waved it with a 1-in curling iron. I sprayed the hair with a shine spray and used a paddle brush to gently brush through the curls.

Any advice for someone considering it?

Follow the correct follow-up instructions and be prepared for regular maintenance. Bright red is one of those colors that can fade very quickly without proper care. You should use professional color care shampoo, wash in cold water and not wash every day. I tell my customers, the longer you can walk between shampoos, the better. If you visit the beach, lake or pool frequently, this may not be a color that suits your lifestyle.

Faded bright red

Pomegranate is as sweet a fruit as a hair color! The straight locks further enhanced the dyeing technique.

How would you describe this look?

This color was a true definition of ruby. It was deep, but it was light! Of course, this customer has very fine, curly hair. This sleek, straight style was so silky compared to where it started! I would like to show the before. You will really appreciate this artwork!

My favorite was the seamless mix. I could have divided her hair into any section and there would never be a mistake!

Any advice for someone considering it?

Entertains! Every red is an obligation. Without proper take-away products, your color will never stand a chance. Red is difficult to remove and difficult to hold all at once. With every consultation I always consider my canvas before I ask my client about her lifestyle. If hair is not healthy, it can make red really stick to porous hair and process and fade differently.

Having healthy hair is an important key to vibrant colors. It can go south very quickly. The longevity of their color and fading is just as important for the day of their color. Education for customers will keep money in their pockets and smile on their faces!

Speaking of faces, I think skin tone is very important when you choose red as your color choice. I have a lot of women sitting on my chair with very red cheeks. Red hair, against red skin, can be a terrible combination.

Bright ginger pixie

With all the apparently bad things associated with orange locks, this just proves that they're all wrong. The copper with light ginger hair color is an extravagant statement for anyone who judges any ginger heads.

How would you describe this look?

This look is liberating – with a true ambience of a femme fatale. I mean, look at them! She shines in copper charm, shows her beautiful facial features and does not hide from anything or anyone!

This cut was made by me for my beautiful, evil and inspiring boss Lady Annette (@annetteluxe). She is a very daring but fabulous woman and she needed a change right now. We dared to convert them from a long platinum pixie to this shortened ginger cut.

It's so hard to name my favorite thing about this look – maybe it's the way it just looks so light and is capable of anything that really gets me. If I saw her walking on the street, I would probably be both intimidated and intrigued.

Any advice for someone considering it?

Short hair is like that at the moment. Having a pixie is both low and high waiting. Low maintenance in the sense that you just wake up, style in a little texturing paste, and go.

However, such a short haircut would require a shape at least every 4 weeks. As for the color, copper is beautiful and one of my favorites, but is also high maintenance and would require a semi-permanent shine to look refreshing no less than every 4 weeks.

Pixies are so versatile, funny, sexy and elegant. I think practically any face shape can pull it off with styling and shape of the cut because there are so many creative and courteous pixie cuts. If you've always wanted to do something bold and spicy with your hair, do it.

Light magenta

Pretty in pink just came into town! This bright red balayage has been made very tastefully to protect the roots from the color, but not that it is completely separated from all of the vibrancy.

How would you describe this look?

This beautiful magenta hair color and cut was done by Gill Kolkman, a team member at the Washington House Salon in Innisfil, Ontario Canada!

Owner and stylist Cecile Washington had this to say about this look. This look is fun, funky and fresh! Our favorite thing about this look is how brave it is. This magenta ombré can be worn straight or with a nice soft wave to accentuate the beautiful root extension and graded layering when it comes to the cut.

Any advice for someone considering it?

If you're considering a bold, vibrant color like magenta, be ready for some maintenance. We recommend refreshing the tone every 4 weeks. At home care would be washing your hair with cold water and with color protection shampoos and conditioners.

If you live a busy lifestyle and cannot commit to maintenance, this is not the choice for you. But there are definitely plenty of fun options out there for you!

Poppy red to light brown

Cherry caramel combo with highlights? Delicious! You wear in long wavy curls? Outstanding!

How would you describe this look?

This formulation went from an all over poppy red to a deeper base, with the new growth merging into a nice balayage blend. This could certainly be a strawberry and cream formula. We didn't make our foilyage too difficult. We still wanted to see all the great play of colors in contrast.

Her cut leaves the hair away from the face. Long, round layers give us bouncy, touchable movement, and it's a great cut for more petite face shapes that are long.

The best part of this formula is its wealth. As a red head you are always looking for wealth, fun, reflection!

Any advice for someone considering it?

My red-haired conversation with my guests never looks at home maintenance and care, but luckily Lanza Healing Color is known for Color Attach System Technology. Our colors hold and hold and you will never see a more vibrant redhead come in for a refreshing one!

My guests use Color Guard to protect them from fading from water before and after showering. They use color care shampoo and conditioners, and we're discussing the importance of keeping our shampoo and style going longer by being proactive with the right style products.

Being red in the head always requires some maintenance, and you'll also want to consider whether you might have a change of heart and change your color on the street. Any kind of drastic color change can be stressful for your locks.

If a feisty red suits your personality and you can get your color update formulas to work for you instead of against you when it comes to tanning your reds, you can enjoy bright reds over and over again.

Curly red hair

Have a night and paint the city red! These glorious bright red curls can be seen all over the world.

How would you describe this look?

What I love about this look is how heavy but still portable it is! This is about as real copper red as you can achieve with permanent hair color, and the cut is a separate pixie! By separating, we cut everything below, about two inches above and below the ear, shorter.

We decided to disconnect because it allows the curls to meet more organically, but gives the illusion that it's not shorter below. This is my preferred way of cutting short hair to keep the shape very feminine with one edge!

Any advice for someone considering it?

I would talk about this color first as it can be more of a maintain than a more natural tone. We would talk about home care and what kind of color care products they would need to add to their routing. I prefer Pureology Hydrate Shampoo and Conditioner for home care followed by Redken One United Leave-in.

I would then ask about the haircut, how do you feel with the display, your ears, your neck? – to ensure that they are comfortable with this style. An elongated neck, oval to heart-shaped face, and confidence will best wear this cut!

Next I would ask her what her hair regime looks like at home and explain that this is actually very easy as long as you use suitable products to use the curl and keep the curl at bay. We used the Redken curve line, starting with the ringlet gel for hold and the curl refiner cream for a soft finish. This will help with all crunchy after effects from the gel. We dried with the Sam Villa artist series dryer and diffuser nozzle for curly hair. As soon as it was dry, we finished with a half inch curling iron and wrapped all the rotten curls around to define extra.

Bright red highlights in brown hair

A delicious mix of strawberry, ginger and reddish brown tones. These bright red highlights combine dimension with layered hair.

How would you describe this look?

This was an existing balayage that I had done for my guest in a previous service. She wanted something different and fun without lightening her hair or compromising it. It is also a color that we can easily adjust again.

I used Pulp Riots Faction 8 boosters in their red (-66) orange (-44) and yellow (-22). I simply took an inch of randomized cut and applied color to saturate the center and ends. Then I feathered myself to mix like in a traditional balayage.

After processing, I cut them with softly textured layers not only to lighten their thick hair, but to show all the colors when they are styled. I then styled them with smoothing cream and took one inch sections to curl with a 1 1/4 curling iron. Once done, I used a wide tooth comb to break up the curls and then sprayed it with a medium hold hairspray.

Any advice for someone considering it?

For guests who want to go the red route, keep in mind that it is one of the tougher colors you need to keep in your hair and requires a lot of maintenance at home.

You need to use professional color safe and sulfate free products such as shampoo, conditioner, etc. Also, you need to keep shampooing a maximum of twice, and if you do, use cold / cool water. Warming tools for styling must also be on low heat.

Everyone can turn red when it comes to portability! Whether it's a fire truck red to a chocolate cherry, an all-over color, or just a few pops, everyone can wear it, just do it!

Ruby red

Go for the gold, or in this case, ruby! The rose glitters so vividly and goes so well with your long, silky hair.

Shoulder length bright auburn

Maroon for autumn and also for all seasons. The bright crimson bright red hair is a sight especially with this wavy bob for a strikingly casual look.

Short, bright red hair

Red heads unite! The short inverted bob makes it look rounder, but a sleeker, straight front that gives both shape and flattery to the look. Ideal to bring a flush to your cheeks.

Red and blonde

A feathered ombre with platinum blonde to red colors! Waves swept to the side add a wind-blown effect that presents the look with even more movement and dynamism.

Light red to dark ombre

Estimate how the bright maroon colors turned into a bright rose at their ends. Even with such short, bright red hair with bangs, the colors were accentuated along with the facial makeup.

cherry

Jessica Rabbit would be jealous of how sensual these big, shiny, bright red curls are! The longer locks, the more you can play with it!

Red with blonde highlights

To make these red tones come out more, paint over a lighter shade as an accent. Neon orange and glowing red with bright blonde highlights are analog colors that go really well together so you never go wrong! This fiery red hair color is super hot now!

14 fantastic examples of jet black hair colors

New Post has been published on https://www.easypromhairstyles.com/14-fantastic-examples-of-jet-black-hair-colors.html

14 fantastic examples of jet black hair colors

Deep black hair is a hair color that has the deepest, darkest hue of black. The most common and sought-after hair color in the world – it's the perfect canvas for every conceivable hairstyle!

His incomparable dimension, his amazing luster and his natural movement make him far from being plain and simple. Hair as black as the night sky can give you a statement that says elegance and mystery.

It does not matter which skin color you have, as this color is universally proven by famous people who are known to be obsessed with black strands – Megan Fox, Rihanna, Priyanka Chopra, and Kim Kardashian.

Dark hair means less care, but it does not mean that these strands should not be cared for! Keep it healthy and shiny by using moisturizers and hair treatments at least once a week for a long-lasting shine.

The only question is how to wear this fascinating hair color. To join the dark side, look at these winning looks on jet black hair!

Stunning on short hair

How would you describe this look?

To describe this look, I would use the name "Angled Bob" in deep black hair color. I like this particular cut and color combination because it can be rocked with a solid color, but still has enough personality to make it stand out.

For this customer I have used demi-permanent black with blue undertones and high gloss for a deep color and healthy shine. Avoid box colors and opt for professional colors, as the box color does not maintain gloss and quickly fades. Shower with lukewarm to cold water and always use a colorfast, sulfate-free shampoo line to prevent fading.

For styling we blow dry 100% dry and flat iron with small sections at once, all primed with a heat protection spray.

Any advice for someone considering it?

I like this particular cut because it lends itself to many face shapes. It is ideal for round surfaces as it compensates for roundness, and it can also be used for square shapes and oval shapes. The key is where the points of the haircut hit your face, your jaw or your shoulder.

For clients with naturally straight hair, this cut is no maintenance when styling.

If you have a wave or curl in your hair, you can straighten with a heat-protective styling spray or get this cut in a curly, friendly version. A good way to keep this cut smooth is a Keratin Smoothing treatment by a licensed practitioner.

The care required for this cut is a trim / shaping about every month and a half to keep the lines of the cut fresh.

Natural black

How would you describe this look?

What I love about this look is the length, which is neither too short nor too long. If someone is used to having long hair and wanting to change something, then this shoulder-length bob is the ideal companion.

Any advice for someone considering it?

Going long is perfect for those who want to make their face look longer! Layers, face frames or bangs is something that you can add to your haircut. No layers or minimal layers like this natural black hair splitter will make your ends look thicker, perfect for thin-haired girls out there!

With a blue shade

How would you describe this look?

The color is a jet black with a blue undertone / cast. I love the subtlety because usually everyone likes to be light and blond in the warmer months. Making this color was a nice change in tempo, especially as even simple black hair color can be tweaked to give it a little visual interest!

As far as the style is concerned, I gave my customer a nice cut and decided to refresh her layers and put them up a bit to give the blowout a more defined and fuller look!

Any advice for someone considering it?

This look is great for someone who likes to be dark but still wants a pop of visual interest. It is also perfect for someone who does not need much care. My client is a busy mom, so this look is great for someone who does not have much time to go to the salon.

For products I used Paul Mitchell skinny serum for light frizz prevention and shine, Kenra platinum hair spray for heat protection and smoothness and Paul Mitchell dry wax to give the finish a nice light hold and make the layers look beautiful and defined!

Jet black with highlights

How would you describe this look?

This customer came in with jet-black hair dyes that wanted to remove the black color she had been wearing for years.

Any advice for someone considering it?

My biggest recommendation, when a customer comes, if he wants to remove his black, is that it will be a process. I tell my clients to be patient because it's a slow process, but it's worth the end result. I like to start with a highlight and a brown toner.

Usually, the first hit of the bleach will give you a very orange color. My main concern is to optimally preserve the porosity of your hair. Olaplex is usually my best friend in the hair industry. It saves! With this highlighting process, customers can enjoy the stages of decolorization of the box until its final color is achieved. I held her in a long, multi-layered haircut to show her new color.

Pop with pink highlights

How would you describe this look?

I would call this a raspberry balayage melt. It's a dark brown base on top, melted into some dark magenta highlights that move from the middle of the hair to the ends. I cut the tailor-made hair of my client, who has a finer texture, missed a blunt cut, with just a few facial frame layers to give some shape. I waved my hair to finish the hairstyle with an iron.

Any advice for someone considering it?

Use a sulfate-free shampoo to keep the magenta color longer. The use of a leave-in preservative after washing also helps, as well as trying to stay longer between washes as the color fades with each wash. Dry shampoo helps to extend the washing time. This color is for anyone who wants to have a bold and funky color change, but want to retain its natural base and achieve a more subtle growth.

Nice on brown skin

How would you describe this look?

This look is voluminous, muggy and ready for a night in the city! We dyed them with a deep black hair dye with a shiny sheen, then we designed their long curls with a few bouncing waves.

Any advice for someone considering it?

Here we go! A dark monochrome color is so low maintenance compared to other color options. It's also a timeless look. Big waves are always trendy and so easy to do. It leaves the view that you are tricked without trying too hard.

Jet black to Burgundy Ombre

The transition from ebony to crimson is a mood! These rich tones, combined with soft rollers, are made to enhance babies with darker skin.

Jet Blue Black Balayage

The sudden color change is amazing, but not surprising. These two combinations have turned night-blue hair into an everlasting hair color. With the midnight and deep black hair color, the movement in the light gives off only the slightest change.

Beautiful on curly hair

A doll that you are, a doll that needs to be your hairstyle! You look super cute and lively, with a few half-trimmed curls.

Beautiful long straight hair

As if Midnight comes in and presents his elegance to the world!

Shiny wavy hair

Nothing can be more authentic than the solid deep black hair. Waves give it more texture for the instant light reflection effect.

Honey blond highlights

Get into the highlight train with this natural-looking caramel touch on black hair. Some blonde highlights with deep black hair are an amazing contrast.

Dark brown to deep black ombre

The smallest detail always makes the biggest impression. Dive slowly into the trend of deep black hair dyeing with the weakest brown to black ombre.

Contrasting deep black hair color

Are you connected to the Addams family in any way? The similarity is scary.

The 18 most beautiful pastel pink hair color ideas

A pastel pink hair color is a soft and delicate version of pink that is usually combined or worn with other lighter fashion colors like blonde and even purple. It fits any kind of hair and skin tone and is super portable, believe it or not! All you need is the confidence to show it off!

Tips for coloring hair in pastel pink

You should not be afraid to experiment with your hair color, as did the millennial stars Emily Ratajkowski, Gigi Hadid and Jemima Kirke and took the lead! The fantasy color specialist Emma Jean from the Porte Noire Salon in Central Florida also delights with her masterpieces in pastel pink!

Note that blond is the perfect canvas for this color to reach its maximum potential. Therefore, a pre-enlightenment must be considered. To rock this beautiful pale pink hue to the full, you have to give your tresses a little love! Like all unnatural colors, pastels can be washed out quickly, but the regular use of colorfast products guarantees the longevity of your beloved Zuckerwattemähne. There are some hair dyes that are great for a touch of pink at the tips or for some highlights. However, for the best results, the best option is to subject pastel pink hair to a chemical treatment.

Maybe it's time to drop those old, boring sunglasses and experience the trendy pink magic! Make this shimmering look your own by taking inspiration from these popular pastel pink hair color photos for the season!

Light Metallic Rose

Lavender with a touch of silver for the shiny effect. You will shine with this one in a different light!

Smoky pink

How would you describe this look?

This look is the best of both worlds for desired pastel pink. If you can not decide which sounds look better, you can get the best of both! It has the mix of cool tones that gives it the smokiness and warmth to bring in and capture the light. Similar to make-up in the highlight and contouring area, but for hair! Pastel pink hair really shines because the shade really comes out more.

The beauty of this look is the versatility of the color combinations. By incorporating the natural hair color of the client, the client is upgraded, but not by himself, so that his skin tone is not overwhelmed, and it remains low maintenance when it grows out. Even with the balance of warm and cold, it works with any skin tone, regardless of the undertones. Although it fades, it does not fade to a flat blonde, but to a blonde with dimensions.

Any advice for someone who thinks about it?

Research a lot and much. Save all pastel pink hair color photos that attract your attention and show them to your hairdresser. You should notice a pattern and see the sounds you like. Do not wash your hair, do not use dry shampoo or walk as long as possible and wash in cold water.

Keep the heat styling low! I always tell my customers the temperature when I curl their hair and say, "This is the temperature. If you can not curl up faster than I do, do not go higher than me. "High heat can burn the paint or even your hair.

I would ask you to ask a series of questions: What lengths are you willing to go for this hair? This look requires lighting no matter where your natural level begins. You would need up to 3 sessions. This is based on natural, virgin hair.

Now that you know that, the question is, is healthy hair a big deal for you? I'm not saying that your hair is damaged / dry afterwards, but are you open to the possibility? This is before you even reach the pastel pink. Note that anything that is iridescent or pastel is not permanent. It is unfortunate that such a thing only holds up to 5-7 washes. This depends on the hair conditions and you wash it in cooler water. Heat, hot water, salt water, sun and free radicals can cause hair color to fade.

Okay, now everything is fine, the big question: Are you ready to invest? What to invest? Time and money. Each lighting session can take up to 5.5-6 hours. The customer in the photo lasted a total of 18 hours, 3 sessions of 6 hours each. She has done it over time. With 3-4 months between each session so that her hair and wallet could rest.

Cut, light, tone, style up to 6 hours at around $ 500 per session before tipping. Toner – This is for interim sessions if you need them. Hair quality is different for everyone – some keep their color better and others do not. Not everyone is the same.

I recommend Color Enhancing Shampoo Purple, Blue, Pink, etc. (Once a week, 50 USD +). Why once a week? Because it's meant to neutralize / enhance sounds. If you use too much, this would exceed the deposit and affect the color. Less is more. Now you need a normal shampoo. To keep the hair healthy, I suggest something that has a perfect balance between moisture and protein – over protein (dry brittle), over moisture (elastic ky, noodle).

At this point, your hair needs the big guns. They wash about 1-3 times a week. If your hair is weak or thirsty, detoxifying agents / masks bring it to life. What's the point of getting the color you want, but in a bad condition? Use it at least once a week for 5-10 minutes.

Products: Oils / Serums $ 30, Heat Protection $ 25 +, Leave-in Conditioner $ 25 +. Tips: If you are lazy or have a limited store, buy a 10 in 1, as oil is always a must. Things to think about when buying oil for your hair, especially for my blond ladies: it's more than nutritious! Think of it as a sponge / piece of white paper, the color of the oil is important – orange / yellow oil. Your hair will drink it and always put oil in your hair before you blow dry it or air dry it. Your hair needs something to drink as it starts to dry. If you invest all that time and money in pastel pink hair, it is a good idea to keep it alive and radiant.

Pink highlights on blond hair

How would you describe this look?

What I love about this carefree little pastel is that it was a happy replay! I had worked her hair the week before with a beautiful color correction that fixed green stripes with strong roots and funky ends, and I turned them into a perfectly glowing blush (you can see a few posts before on my Instagram)! But she came back a week later to relieve the roots and wanted a more purple tone. So I blushed Malibu-ed's pretty light pulp-riot and gave her an exaggerated Shadow Root with my beautiful Keune Semi 5.11 + 6.1 (dark ashen). Then I blazed their ends with pulp-riot clear + powder + blush to make more of a bright purple tone!

I also sealed it with a soft pink glow from Keune to lighten it. This is a fantastic spring color for blondes who want a little fun change, but I also love that they are nicely hidden and look pretty until they disappear. Adding the loose curls with a 1-inch curling iron increases the softness and makes them look really pretty and polished!

Any advice for someone who thinks about it?

When I think about this look, I want my client to know that the pastel colors in fashion fade within 25 washes, making them light and gentle. Cool the water, add money to your color-safe / sulfate-free shampoo, do not wash daily. Make dry shampoo your friend!

As far as the tone is concerned, he is beautiful in most already bright blondes! It's just fun without too much, and it gets very soft and pretty. The Shade Root also facilitates the management of the outgrowth. It's a perfect pastel tone for spring.

Pastel blue and pink

How would you describe this look?

This pastel blue and pink look is bold yet very feminine and flirting. The best part about it is how it shines in the light and when it moved, it made a dazzling effect.

Any advice for someone who thinks about it?

Pastel colors are becoming increasingly popular and it is common to think that they are easy to access and maintain, but in reality it is more difficult than it seems and doubles for pastel pink hair colors. My best advice is to prepare for several sessions and find a stylist who will bring you to a healthy platinum blonde before you try out pastel colors. Paint deposits such as Oberton and Joico Color Butter become your best friend to refresh the color between appointments.

Pastel Rose Gold

How would you describe this look?

This client does not want a color that needs to be serviced very often. She comes only once a year, so we make balayage highlights for her hair. The best thing about this color is that when the rose gold tones disappear from the hair (and the customer does not want to take care of it anymore), they can stay blond for the rest of the time and not have to worry about growing roots.

This time, I made both Balayage highlights with backcombing technique and classic highlights for the frame of the face. She had very dense hair, so I layered a bit in the back but concentrated mainly to layer the hair around the face to make it feel very soft and light.

Any advice for someone who thinks about it?

Pastel pink hair needs to be cared for frequently, these pastel shades fade very easily. Therefore, this color is not the best if you do not want to waste your time showering, without losing the color or money that you can easily spend on hair care products.

Due to its short life this is good for those who want to try something new but want to return for a more sedate look!

Petal pink

How would you describe this look?

Pastel pink hair is delicate and sweet. The color gives a summery touch, which is also perfect as pastel pink hair is one of the upcoming trends for this summer. My favorite thing is definitely the pale pink color.

Any advice for someone who thinks about it?

Remember the big change. The hair must be bleached to a whitish color, which can affect the quality of the hair.

This type of pastel pink hair is not durable in the hair over a longer period of time. The customer needs a color shampoo / conditioner to use it at home. Therefore, he must also consider his budget.

When it comes to the skin tone, the light pink will suit most of us. This is because it contains both warm and cold pigments. And as long as the roots are a bit darker, there is no shallow impression.

Praise haircuts are suitable for all types of face shapes textures. For styling, it is a general type of haircut. I find it perfect for clients who want a good change with many options for their daily lives.
