Pulp Riot Noir, Jam, Nirvana Hair is my new current hair and I am in love with it! Just over a week ago I went to see my hair stylist Cliff Frias at iStyle. I needed to get my extensions adjusted and my hair color touched up.

What I Wore to iStyleXG Salon

Widow Menacing Magic Pleated Skirt

I love this Widow Menacing Magic Pleated Skirt I picked up from dollskill a while ago. I paired it with my Killstar Abyss Patrol top.

The Beginning

This is what my hair and extensions looked like at the start of the session at 11am. My color is in desperate need of a touch up.

Pulp Riot Noir, Jam, Nirvana Hair Color Story

Whenever I go see my stylist I make sure that Cliff and I are on the same page with the color story. He always tests the colors on paper so that we have an idea of what they look like. For the blends you see above, he put a drop each of Pravana Vivids Violet & Vivids Blue into Pulp Riot Noir to create the perfect blue-black for my roots. I wanted a vivid purple for the mid-section so Cliff added a drop of Pravana Vivids Violet to Pulp Riot Jam. Pulp Riot Nirvana we left untouched because it’s got amazing color and staying power.

After Coloring My Hair

This is what my natural hair looks like after being colored, without the extensions in. My natural hair has outgrown my extensions, which are now only giving me lots of volume.

After Installing the Extensions

Here’s what my hair looks like after the extensions have been installed again. It’s very full looking, as  you can see.

  3. I love, love, love your hair– the curls and color are stunning!! After working at a hair salon for a year now I know how hard it is to get a good blend and your stylist is phenomenal!

  4. These colors are just gorgeous. Your hair looks shiny and healthy. I wonder if there’s someone in my area with skill like this.

  6. Hot! Question for you: does Cliff lighten your new growth before applying the blue-black, or does that go on virgin hair? My kiddo wants a black to red ombré, and I’m not feeling even a Demi black because she’s a fickle tween (and we know once you go black…)

    1. He normally applies the blue-black on my virgin hair and then blends it / drags it down in places onto the hair that has been bleached.
