hair getting darker after sealing? O.o -PIC-

Hi y'all. I'm in the process of making my first set. I'm actually making them in one of the no seal wrappy styles but I wanted to go ahead and seal them anyways, ya know, for added durability or some such.
I'm doing the boiling water method with rasta's sweet red(which if i'd reliezed was gonna be that silky I probably would have go.e with something else XD) So far iv done a few test seals on some of the test dreads. It wasn't to obvious at first but now that iv got a few more backcombed it is very obvious that the sealed dreads are a shade or two darker than the unsealed ones.
I just don't know if this is normal or not. Im a bit worried that iv burnt them by putting them directly in the pot of boiling water rather than transferring the water to something else(ie. not a metal pot directly out of the fire) first or something like that, they don't feel crunchy though.
so yeah, are they suppose to do that? o.O?

Top sealed, bottom not.
