Copper Curly Afro

The breakdown

• Copper Curly Afro
• Copper Color
• Defined Curls

How it is done

1. 10:29Lift dark curly hair to copper with a high-lift highlights color in copper.
2. 21:23Long or thick hair takes three to five tubes, since highlight kits are small.
3. 31:51Mix two parts developer to one part color.
4. 42:18Use 30 volume developer; 40 volume can fry your hair.
5. 53:13Very dark hair pulls copper-red; add a red high-lift shade for more red.
6. 64:09Apply to the roots in thin sections so every root is covered.
7. 75:51Refresh the mid-lengths and ends with a semi-permanent orange and spice mixed into a deep conditioner.
8. 88:17Process about 35 minutes for a root touch-up, 45 minutes to an hour for a whole head.
9. 99:56Rinse, then use a protein reconstructor to rebuild the bonds broken by dyeing.
