These are the colors I use for the "black hair". N8, N6, N3, N1, & sometimes 0!
...at this point...you can leave it just like this or continue to blend. Leaving it like this will have a "shinnier/brighter" look.
...same goes for this step...you can leave it as is or continue with the 0 blender pen. Leaving it like this gives it a more "muted" shine.
Pay no attention to the blonde...she was just a practice experiment. Once I have the blonde down...I'll post! ;) Next I'm trying a red-head and then on to the colorful hair. I'm excited for the colorful hair! :D
And that's it...that's how I color my shiny hair! All this is thanks to WickerPixie AKA Traci (the magnificent!) Thanks Traci for your amazing inspiration in my journey to coloring shiny hair! :D

ohhh that turned out so good, Gaby.
I totally need to practice with my copics some more.
LOVE this!!! I love how there are so many different techniques to achieve the same look. I LOVE LOVE LOVE shiny hair, but still have yet to master it. I need more copic colors it seems. LOL
Thanks for the handy tutorial Gabby, off to have a practice

You did a beautiful job. Thanks for the tutorial. FYI, I need Copics.
Thanks for the fabulous tut Gabby!! I am missing a few of the pens and am hoping I can find them tomorrow at the stamp convention then I can practice your technique!!
this is awesome thank you for the tutorial....
Awesome tutorial! I can't wait to get the rest of my Copics to give it a try. :D
Thanks Gabby, I have always wondered how to do this!! I can do the shading on the blondes and brunettes, but I just haven't been able to get the black hair to look right!
Hey! Where's my comment? I know I left you one earlier! I said something like "you are amazing! I will link up this post on my blog too." and I think there was more... Well, you ARE amazing, and thanks for doing this tutorial for me and the whole world now!
I just came from Angie's blog and saw that she linked up this post -- thank you so much for sharing this. It is too late for me to start playing with my colors tonight but I am coming back to practice this tutorial.
