Question about hair coloring - please only expert advice (THANKS)?

I have medium to dark brown hair, I want sandy blond, If I use Loreal Paris feria's bleach blonding kit will it bleach my hair out all the way as in the picture of the dude on the box or since my hair is dark, will it give me the sandy blond color I'm wanting ???

2nd. question. this is winter so is it a dumb idea to go blond anyway ??

Question about hair coloring - please only expert advice (THANKS)?

medium to dark brown is tone 4, sandy blond is on tone 9, you need to rise the hair's tone 5 tones, that means you must bleach it with a bleach powder mixing with a 6% oxidative cream, and then you are on tone 7 if you are using l'oreal, an then you repeat the operation because you have to get rid of all dark pigments and to reach level 8, and then you dye you hair, mixing a sandy blond with 3% oxidative cream,

IMPORTANT: after this process you must follow a hair recovery treatment

success

if the fits you you can have it even on winter :P

Question about hair coloring - please only expert advice (THANKS)?

Take my advice and go and get it done professionally. If you atempt it yourself, it could come out orange or some mad colour. If i were you, instead of going for such a dramatic change, i'd do it gradually, why not put blonde highlights in your hair now and come next summer then do it all over if you setill want to. I have the same hair colour as you and i have blonde highlights in it but because its dark, i can never get the bright blonde I want but i still like it compared to a full head of dark hair. Be carefull too, you dont want to have lovely sandy blond hair and dark brown roots, there's nothing worse i think, it will take a lot of taking care off.

Question about hair coloring - please only expert advice (THANKS)?

I know you wanted expert advice, but I can tell you from experience that the Feria kit turned medium strawberry blonde to platinum.

Question about hair coloring - please only expert advice (THANKS)?

When natural hair is medium-dark brown there is ALWAYS a presences of red highlights.Make sure the kit you are using has enough lifting power that you do not end up with orange-red hair. After your hair is lifted past a red-orange stage you should use another color to tone the hair which will make it the sandy brown or carmel brown that you are looking for.

If I were you I might try going to Sally's Beauty Supply and look for color products.

With respect to Hair Coloring, what does "Flying Color" mean?

Reviewing hair color services offered by various salons, and keep seeing the term "Flying Color" (distinct from Partial or Full Highlights). What is this treatment?

With respect to Hair Coloring, what does "Flying Color" mean?

i believe that what you are talking about is a method adapted to multi-toned color. it strengthens the base and adds volume nad dimension to highlights. it is done by applying the color within three different zones.

First time hair coloring help?

You need to bleach your hair if you want that exact color. If you want to dye it about two shades lighter, then just choose the brown then pick one that is 2 shades lighter than that one %26amp; dye it, because you won't be using bleach it won't come out that light, but similar to the color you want. Yeah, if you go to a salon the cosmotologist can help you select the shade that best fits you. Some places even have a computer that show your face on different hairstyles %26amp; hair colors. I've colored my hair about 2 shades lighter %26amp; did it how I explained %26amp; it worked out just fine. Good luck.

First time hair coloring help?

Of coarse, you can go to the salon, but that will cost more money. You can got to the store and but your own permanent color, but make sure it's just what you are looking for. If you want to realy get the idea of bleaching your hair for the first time, you can try the brands at the pharmacy that will last just a month or two. Many pharmacys have it. If it wears off fast enough, and you like it, then you can be prepared to bleach your hair permanently. Or you can start off with hightlights.

i went to get my hair colored the other day and i wanted the top layer of my hair light blonde and the under hair colored brown. well she did not do it the way i wanted it done, plus on the side of my head there is an orange spot of color that i did not see when i was at the salon, until i was home and i put my hair in a ponytail.. what i need is advice on how to get her to fix it free of charge for this mistake... please help......

Help!!! my hairstylist messed up when coloring my hair and i need advice on how to ask her to fix it???

If she is a good professional, she will be happy to fix it just by you telling her nicely what is wrong with it. If she does not want to fix it, or gives you a hard time, you might want to change colorists.

Help!!! my hairstylist messed up when coloring my hair and i need advice on how to ask her to fix it???

Hi I am a Hairdresser and this isn't acceptable what's happened to you!...I would telephone the salon and ask to speak to the manager, tell her/him the situation and why you aren't happy. Keep calm and positive and they may offer to fix it for free without you asking...If they don't..then you could politely nudge them and request that it's fixed for free....if they still say no...Then take some pictures of the hair mistakes and get legal advice....hope this helps

Help!!! my hairstylist messed up when coloring my hair and i need advice on how to ask her to fix it???

Go back to the salon and complain. If they really value their customers, they'll fix it. If they won't, go to another hair stylist. Or try a home coloring system to cover it up (find it at your local drugstore) until you can make an appointment. Or try a cute coverup, like a hat.

Help!!! my hairstylist messed up when coloring my hair and i need advice on how to ask her to fix it???

They have to fix it for free! Go in there crying if you have to and tell her it's orange and not what you pictured. Bring in a photo if you can of what you want. If she/he complains, which I doubt they will, go to their boss. They want customers who return happy in the long run, cause they will keep coming back and spending more money!

Well if you go back into the hair salon and ask if they can fix your hair because it is not the way you wanted it. Normally they will take you then and there and fix it for you. if they don't then some further action may have to be taken. Just be polite and understanding. Don't go off your head at them because it will get you nowhere.

My advice would be..go talk to the manager of the shop.If that doesn't work,ask to speak to the owner.When you go in,bring a picture of what you asked for. Also show them the orange spot.Most shops will try to work with you if they can. They want to keep your business.Good luck to you.

Help!!! my hairstylist messed up when coloring my hair and i need advice on how to ask her to fix it???

This same thing happened to me @ 5 weeks ago. I went to a new person, (My regular girl was on medical leave for 2 months %26amp; I was desparate!) There were obvious bleach lines , and big chunks that looked like she missed, then she didn't even start at the roots, they were @ 3 cm's off the root. Anyways, I went back in %26amp; talked to her %26amp; showed her %26amp; she said it was the color she used, it must've ran, blah, blah, blah! So she tried to fix it...5 times %26amp; 2 more trips later, I finally had to have the owner of the salon fix it. (All in all @ 80% improvement.) Now I was not charged for this, but the owner said she expected me to compensate her for her time. Well, sorry! But I was not happy with that %26amp; I ended up dealing with it until my regular stylist was back! When I left her, all was perfect %26amp; I found out she actually knows the owner of the other salon %26amp; says she's heard alot of complaints about them!

It boils down to this: You may not want to necessarily have that same person "fix" it. Maybe just give one try. I mean everyone's human, but I made the mistake to let her try to redo it 5 times before I insisted on the owner doing it. In my opinion, that should automatically be offered, as part of good customer service.

Hope this helped......Sorry!

BTW: The original appt cost me $115, which I had tipped her on to begin with. So I really didn't feel I should have to pay again or tip someone else!

Help!!! my hairstylist messed up when coloring my hair and i need advice on how to ask her to fix it???

Calm down. This is not a difficult problem... Just call her on the phone and BE NICE...tell her that you are unhappy with your hair. Be honset and tell her all the things you don't like about it. I'm sure she'll be anxious to help make you happy and to keep from losing you as a client. She'll know what she did color wise and should have it written down and can figure out what she needs to do to fix it.

If she colored the top section all over blonde (not hilights) she probably just didn't get enough color on that spot and the rest of your hair lifted faster. She just needs to go in and put a little color on the spot until it gets the samw color as the rest. I'm not sure what else is wrong with it since you just mentioned the spot, but I know from experience that if a client has a problem with something I did I want to be the first and last person to know.

Besides every mistake is a chance to learn something.

As far as paying, sometimes we don't have control over that, but usually the salon owner is ok with us fixing mistakes for free. If a client is asked to pay for anything occassionally it will just be the amount to cover supplies. Just go see the stylist and tell her what's wrong and be up front and ask if what she is going to do to fix it will cost you anything. I suggest to get it fixed by her even if it does cost you some money for for 2 reasons. 1 she knows what she did and what to use to fix it. 2 If you go somewhere else they'll charge you full price to fix it.

Help!!! my hairstylist messed up when coloring my hair and i need advice on how to ask her to fix it???

Oh hun, I know how you feel. I've had my hair totally messed up with color and butchered hair cuts. Call your stylist and tell her exactly the same thing that you wrote on here. Be polite, but if she gets an attitude ,then talk to the owner. As far as not seeing mistakes in the salon, that happens all the time, I've had the same thing happen to me. I don't know how your hair looks as far as the brown and blonde,but some times it's better to leave it if it looks decent,even though it wasn't what you wanted, but as far as the orange, no way, that needs to be fixed. If the blonde and brown could be an easy fix then go for it, I just don't want you to wind up with your hair ruined. I've gone in for a fix and wound up with it way worse and thinking to my self I wish I would have left it alone. You may also want to consider just asking the owner to fix your hair???????? It's just another option. Good Luck (hugs) P.S. you should not have to pay for a mistake the stylist made.

Hair coloring suggestions, blondish to brown?

I need to dye my hair, it is currently medium brown with many blond highlights (and really bad roots!). I want to get rid of the blond, and go for a warm brown color. I want to do this at home to save money, but have never done it myself before. Would this be ok to do? Are there any problems I should look out for? Any way to make it look natural?

Thanks so much!

Hair coloring suggestions, blondish to brown?

You Need to be VERY careful when going from blonde to brown. Make sure the shade of brown you choose does not have an ash base. This WILL turn the highlights green. Your best bet is to go to a sally's beauty supply and ask the clerk for a swatch cart. Then look for somthing with neutural base. If they have clairol colors, Go for an either an 84n ,85n or 86n.

Whichever level you prefer. Pick up a 20vol delevloper ( the clerk will help you find these things.) Pour the color into a bowl, fill the empty bottle of color with the delevloper and pour that into bowl as well.

Hope that helps!

Hair coloring suggestions, blondish to brown?

it would be fine...loreal hair dye is the best =)

Hair coloring suggestions, blondish to brown?

I see no problem doing it but where you have the blond highlights those will be lighter than the rest of your hair. If you get a dye close to your current brown hair color you might not even notice it.

Just get a regular hair dye by Loreal or one of those other big names, they are all in the same section ;-)

Also I would suggest you get someone to help you! You don't want to be missing spots =)

Hair coloring suggestions, blondish to brown?

well it would be fine. you'll end up getting an odd color though, but if you are just dying it back to a brownish color it wont be bad at all, all of the highlights in your hair will just add a natural higlilght to you color you go with. i wouldn't suggest loreal hair color though. go to a beaty supply and ask them what dye's they would recommend. i usualy go with a liquid clarol or xoria. but i ususaally color my hair redish tones. so ask them at the beauty supply. all hair is different and reacts different to different kinds of dyes and what nots! but if you are scared have a freind or your mom help you with the coloring, that way you make sure to get all of the hair colored! you don't want any uncolored patches! ^_^

good luck

Is there anyway to "lighten" my hair color without Bleaching it or coloring it permanently

I have natural dark brown hair.

I want to go lighter (like an ash brown or so) but I don't want to bleach it or dye it with perm. hair color.

I have done the 'rinses' or semi-perm. hair color, but with darkers shades like plum, jet black, etc...

Is there anyway to achieve a lighter look without sacrificing my natural hair color?

its a bottle, its spray i think its called SUN IN or something like that, depending which you use it lightens your hair little by little the more you use it!

Okay well there's this thing called Sun In. It's a spray-in hair lightener, mainly geared towards blonds, but it MIGHT work for your hair too. Godd luck!!

defenetally...squezze lemon juice in ur hair...wash ur hair in beer...after this go out in the sun and then after about 3 hours go in side and wash ur hair with nirmal shampoo

Theres this stuff you can buy and put it in your hair and you just go outside (like at the beach for example) and it will become lighter.

Dont know if it works for very dark hair but it did for me!

Try covering your hair in lemon juice - its a natural bleacher and wont harm your hair.

BTW you need to be in the sun for this to work!

Is there anyway to "lighten" my hair color without Bleaching it or coloring it permanently?

Sorry 2 say, but lightening dark hair without bleach is only possible if you r looking to go with a reddish tone, and since you said u wanted an ash, bleach is most likely the only way to go.

Is there anyway to "lighten" my hair color without Bleaching it or coloring it permanently?

lemon juice

Is there anyway to "lighten" my hair color without Bleaching it or coloring it permanently?

the sun!!

it schould work for most of kinds of hair. it works on mine but it might take a little while.

Is there anyway to "lighten" my hair color without Bleaching it or coloring it permanently?

Use lemon juice and sit in the sun....or they make something called Sun-In...spray it in and sit in the sun.

Is there anyway to "lighten" my hair color without Bleaching it or coloring it permanently?

If you have black hair, you can start using color brunette enchancers and also stay active in the sun.

My friends recommend using lemon juice by spraying it lightly from root to tip.

Make sure all layers of your hair get enough sunlight!

Is there anyway to "lighten" my hair color without Bleaching it or coloring it permanently?

It can be difficult to lighten dark hair with lemon juice, as it tends to leave orange streaks in hair. Instead of lemon juice, try using henna powder, which can be found in some health stores. Henna provides a protective layer over each strand of hair, which will make your hair feel thicker. To highlight your hair, mix henna powder with a light herb, such as chamomile. Mix enough boiling water with the powdered herbs to create a thick paste. Let the mixture cool slightly. Then comb it into your wet hair. Fit a plastic bag over it and let it sit for between thirty minutes and two hours. Leave the dye in longer for darker hair. Then remove the bag and rinse your hair. If you want faster results, let your hair finish drying in the sun. Henna can be powerful, so you may want to test a small section of hair first to verify the results.

What does "progressive hair coloring" mean?

I've always had my hair colored by salons but cannot really afford that now. I looked at store products like Nice %26amp; Easy, and one box said, "Do not use if you have had progressive hair color."

Someone else told me not to switch to home products if I've been going to a professional salon all this time.

What to do? I am brunette and usually get it colored dark auburn but can live with brunette again if I have to.

What does "progressive hair coloring" mean?

Progressive hair coloring is the act of repeatedly getting your hair dyed until you reach your desired hair color.

A home kit would probably say not to use it if you have been getting progressive hair coloring because it will interfere with what your stylist has been doing

Progressive hair coloring products contain lead acetate as the active ingredient. Lead acetate is approved as a color additive for coloring hair on the scalp at concentrations not exceeding 0.6% w/v, calculated as metallic lead (21 CFR 73.2396). Bismuth citrate, the other approved color additive (21 CFR 73.2110), is used to a much lesser extent. Progressive hair dyes change the color of hair gradually from light straw color to almost black by reacting with the sulfur of hair keratin as well as oxidizing on the hair surface.

Semi-permanent and temporary hair coloring products are solutions (on rare occasions dry powders) of various coal-tar, i.e. synthetic organic, dyes which deposit and adhere to the hair shaft to a greater or lesser extent. Temporary hair colors that must be reapplied after each shampooing. The vehicle may consist of water, organic solvents, gums, surfactants and conditioning agents. The coal-tar dyes are either listed and certified colors additives or dyes for which approval has not been sought. The dyes may not be non-permitted metallic salts or vegetable substances.

The active ingredient for progressive hair dye products is lead acetate. In the U.S, the current regulation governs that lead acetate can be used as color additive for hair coloring as long as the concentration is less than 0.6% w/v. The most noticeable difference between oxidation and progressive hair dyes is that progressive dyes are intended to give a more gradual change in hair color.

Semi-permanent and temporary products are either in the form of aerosal spray, solutions or dry poweders (or sometimes called fibers). The key ingredient is usually coal-tar carried by a vehicle that may consist of water, organic solvent, gums, surfactants, conditioning agents. In the US, the rules governing the quality of coal-tar dyes are confusing and there is no guarantee that the temporary or semi-permanent dye products you are using contain non-approved ingredients. Ethical manufacturers should always issue a caution statement in the packaging of their products advising consumers to do a small patch testing for skin sensitivity. Specifically, the US government suggests the following caution statement: "This product contains ingredients which may cause skin irritation on certain individuals and a preliminary test according to a accompanying directions should first be made. This product must not be used for dyeing the eyelashes or eyebrows, to do may cause blindness." The US government further indicates that the manufacturer will be subject to regulartory actions if the caution statement is not properly addressed and if their products are found to be harmful under customary use.

Hair dyes work more like paint by covering hair strands with chemical colors or by mixing with the melanin granules without altering them.

There are three basic categories : 1) permanent, 2) semi-permanent, 3) temporary. Temporary form can be washed out instantly. As of now, permanent hair dyes are the most popular. They can be sub-divided into 1) oxidation hair dyes and 2) progressive hair dyes.

Oxidatioin hair dye products consist of dye intermediates and a solution of hydrogen peroxide. An example of dye intermediates is p-phenylenediamine which form hair dyes on chemical reaction. 2-nitro-p-phenylenediamine is another type of dye intermediates. They are already dyes and are added to achieve the intended shades. The dye intermediates and the hydrogen peroxide solution, often called the developer, are mixed shortly before application to the hair. The applied mixture causes the hair to swell and the dye intermediates penetrate the hair shaft to some extent before they have fully reacted with each other and the hydrogen peroxide and formed the hair dye.

Progressive hair dyes for men are products that gradually build up to the desired color with repeated use. Make sure that you educate yourself on the process by reading the box carefully before trying it. There is also a lot of controversy surrounding the long-term effects caused by the lead acetate often found in these products. So again, inform yourself and make sure you don't use a product that might be hazardous to your health

well a year is pretty hard.. because all haircolor fades.. and turns yucky colors by fading and grows out of course so you have your roots show.. and if you use non perniment it will last shorter.. but level 3 or perniment is harsher and worse for your hair.. and I have heard box color you buy is bad.. but have it professional

Y does a hair color kit tell u to wash ur hair 24 hrs b4 coloring?

When u go 2 a salon they wash %26amp; then color ur hair right away. If u use an @ home kit, it always says 2 wash 24 hrs ahead of time. So the natural oils can help prevent scalp damage. So what do the hair stylists do/use thats so different? I am curious. Is it the conditioners they use?

Y does a hair color kit tell u to wash ur hair 24 hrs b4 coloring?

Heyyy I asked this to this guy that did my hair and he was one of my mom's friends. anyways...

Most use a specail conditioner that replaces the natural oils with anti..natural... [i just forgot what its called xD] ARTIFICAL!!! thats it.. anyways... it replaces it with artifical oils. then they dye it. OOOR... if they use Tresme or w/e they have a specail dye. Also the dye you get at walmart doesn't last longer.

OH IF YOU DYE YOUR HAIR... DON'T WASH IT WITH SHAMPOO... JUST CONDITIONER!!!

the colour lasts longer :3

hope i helped!

Y does a hair color kit tell u to wash ur hair 24 hrs b4 coloring?

It's recommended but not necessary to wash your 24 hours before, just a precaution to avoid dryness and damage. Also it's not a good idea to have an extra gunk in your hair because it will affect how the color adhere's to your hair.

Y does a hair color kit tell u to wash ur hair 24 hrs b4 coloring?

Post partum hair coloring?

Is it safe to color my hair while breastfeeding? If so, will the color take? I don't want funky hair! Thanks!

Post partum hair coloring?

It is absolutely safe to color your hair while breastfeeding. Some people would prefer not to just as some prefer not to color their hair while they're pregnant. If you have any reservations, consider highlighting or any other off the scalp procedure.

If you do choose to color your hair it will not react differently in the least. Contrary to another answer you received regarding this question anesthesia DOES NOT affect hair color in any way so if you did have an epidural or some other form of anesthesia you're A-OK. Anesthesia will, however, affect a perm and many times render it inactive. This is due to it's affect on the hyrdrogen bonds which are restructured during the perming process. The coloring process does not affect the hydrogen bonds in any way. I have had instances where chemotherapy reacts with a perm as the medication bands in the hair. But as far as color your results will not be changed. What may happen over the course of the next few years is that you may find your hair darkening and thus you would have to alter your color formulation.

Good luck!

Post partum hair coloring?

never ask for my advice on these things

Post partum hair coloring?

Spend a little money at the Salon or go to one of the Beauty Schools , whatever don't do it yourself.

Post partum hair coloring?

yes, it is safe!

your hair might act different than normal, because you have a ton of hormones raging in your body, also if you had to have any kind of anesthesia... that may affect it as well....

It doesn't happen to everyone, but it does to some!

but yes it is safe, and if you're scared... go to a stylist, and have her do it for you, that way she can monitor it.

I got a bad hair coloring job, Can I get my money back?

Hey everyone!! I went to get my hair done yesterday Sat.at this salon, I got my hair darkened and highlights and also a cut! Well I had an appt. at 12.00 and didnt get called until 12.40, I was there for 3 and a half hours, and the stylist did everything wrong, I told him I didnt want to see any red in my hair and that I wanted my highlights to be honey not BLONDE!! This stylist had two assistants and i think has a very good reputation, he is always busy!!! I told him that I wanted to keep my side bangs long, and he cut them like full bangs and short! I told him I wasnt happy w either, the cut and color, and he said that next time he wont charge me for color!! I paid $150.00, and made an appt on tues, this salon is closed sundays and mondays, so he can change it, but I really wanna know if I just can come back on tues and ask for a refund? do u guys think its possible%26gt; will they give it to me ? I really dont want him to touch may hair EVER!!! Thanks!

I got a bad hair coloring job, Can I get my money back?

You can ask for a refund. He can either say yes or no. The fact that you stated you weren't happy yesterday and he offered you a free colour next time suggests he is approachable, but why did you pay up in the first place??? If you were so unhappy about it you could have refused to pay yesterday!

I got a bad hair coloring job, Can I get my money back?

It u go to court yeah!or at least if the guy(or girl) Is nice enough to get u a refund!

I got a bad hair coloring job, Can I get my money back?

He sounds full of himself. I doubt that you get your money back. Next time, you should try a place that you're familiar with. I'm sorry about your hair, that stinks =(

I got a bad hair coloring job, Can I get my money back?

It might be possible, but you shouldn't have left. If you weren't happy the thing to do is to deal with the manager. I'm not saying that what you did is wrong, but it's always best to deal with it right when it happens. When you go back you should definitely complain to the manager and ask for your money back.

I got a bad hair coloring job, Can I get my money back?

It doesn't hurt to try! If they say it is not possible I would insist that another stylist fix my hair the way I intended at no charge.

I got a bad hair coloring job, Can I get my money back?

Did you pay with a credit card? You can always complain about the charge.

I would phone the store manager and ask what the manager plans on doing to rectifying the situation.

Help wit blue hair coloring??

if you dont bleach your hair first it will just give your hair a blue tint. so if you are wanting a bright blue you will have to bleach it. try got2be bleaching kit. it comes with everything you need

Help wit blue hair coloring??

Yes you have to bleach it otherwise the color won't show, also it depends on the brand your using. However the dye could leave a tint, but it's your choice. I honestly think that if you want it a nice big bright blue, bleach your hair but make sure you know how to take care of your bleached hair afterwards. Hoped this helps and good luck with your blue hair.

Help wit blue hair coloring??

Blue is a color that is pretty darn finicky! With really dark hair, unless you bleach it first, you'll only end up with a bluish sheen that can only be seen from a certain angle - no real color otherwise.

As I learned the hardway, even blondes need to bleach before going blue. I didn't (I'm a natural blonde) and my hair turned out green.

Help wit blue hair coloring??

You have to bleach it if you want it to show up, otherwise it will be a dark dark blue and probably won't take and will look dumb. On the other hand, radical colors like blue, pink, purple, etc....will fade extremely fast and the bleached hair will start to show through.

Don't do it, it will just destroy your hair and won't look good after the first day you wash it.

Help wit blue hair coloring??

You do have to bleach it.

If you put blue dye on dark hair, its just going to make your hair shine dark blue in bright light.

Trust me, theres no possible way to have blue hair without bleaching it first.

Well, you can dye it a darker shade of blonde but it wont turn out as nice as bleached hair does.

Help wit blue hair coloring??

if you bleach the place you want it to be blue it will come out better. especially if you want a specific color of blue. dying a dark hair blue won't look as nice as dying the bleached hair. and the color will come out brighter too.

Help wit blue hair coloring??

you're in luck! I just color my hubby's hair with a permanent blue. Yes, permanent. Manic panic will turn your hair blue but it fades so fast and comes off on your pillow and such. Go to Sally's and ask for some help finding things, but here's what you need:

Blue intensifier (only deposits color)

A color with blue in it, such as a cool blonde.

10 Volume developer

Mix 1 inch blonde, 1 parts blue, and 1 parts developer. Process for 30 minutes. Wash, dry, style. Blue.

When I say 1 inch of blonde, I mean litterally, squeeze out and inch long piece of blonde color. If you are only doing the bottom of your hair you won't need more than half a tube of the blue. The tubes are marked with ounces, so measure out the develoer with a measuring cup. This mixture is too thick to put on with a bottle, so you will need a color bowl and color brush. They have them at sallys for CHEAP.

the reason for the blonde is that the intesifier needs an actual color to bond with in the hair. The 10 volume developer will only lift a max of 1 shade so its perfect if you're just depositing.

The only other thing I recommend is getting a tub of manic panic in midnight blue just for touch ups to keep your color bright and vibrant. You can mix it with shampoo in a bottle and just wash the blue part of your hair with it once a week or so.

A lot of people's hair turns green because they either used a shade of blue that was too light for them or they bleached their hair way too much and it refused to hold the color. That's what happens when you bleach your hair, the cuticle opens to allow the bleach inside to rearange the molecules, and when you do an intense bleach, your cuticle doesn't close all the way even with conditioner, so when you put color on it, the goes in, stains a little bit, but comes right back out. But since you are ok with dark blue, and this will be dark blue, it should come out just fine.

Good luck!

Any suggestions about coloring hair?

My natural hair color is dark brown. During the summer I stripped it and went blonde. I have waited this long to let my hair get haelthy again and am ready to color it again. I still have some blonde left; will this turn green? Or will I be ok to get a brown kit and get back to my natural? Thank you!!!

Any suggestions about coloring hair?

it won't turn green especially because you are going darker.

Any suggestions about coloring hair?

you should be okay if you get a brown kit and leave it in for a while before rinsing it. Just to make sure, cut off a small piece of your blonde hair and do a test run on it. Good luck!

You will be perfectally fine. this summer my hair was real blonde and now i am a dark brunette, and my hair did not turn green. just don't leave the hair dye in that long and you should be just fine.

Any suggestions about coloring hair?

If you do go brown DO NOT use and ASH BASE it will turn your blonde hair green. Use a golden or warm base rather. If you still are not sure about what to do, go to a professional hair dresser they can help you a lot.

Any suggestions about coloring hair?

i doubt your hair will go green! but mayb u could go to deeper chocolate brown with some shades of copper dats wat my sis did she was constantly dyeing her hair blond but now its definitly a beter colour for her, but it mite depend on what skintone you have

Any suggestions about coloring hair?

Try a natural golden brown. Try top ranking Loreal Preference! See this source for why. http://www.beautyqa.com/ Which ever you choose to do will be fine. In the end, beauty is your confidence and your compassion to care for others. It is your ability to love. Who can argue about your beauty when you have inner beauty! : )

Any suggestions about coloring hair?

Its hard to say but i strongly reccomend that you put a red through it first. Thats what the hairdressers do. This prevents the blond from going green. If you dont like the idea of going red for a couple of days make sure you get a colour that already has parts of red in it.

Why did the permanent hair coloring by Loreal only color my roots?

I used Loreal hair color "for dark Hair only" and it only colored my roots!! Now my hair is light brown at the top and black at the bottom. I followed the instruction.......only, they didn't say how long to leave it in. So, anyway......I'm two-toned now. What could i do to fix this?

Why did the permanent hair coloring by Loreal only color my roots?

Your roots are what stylists call 'virgin hair' It is newly grown and has never been exposed to all the elements you probably put it thru: (heat, dyes, sunlight, hair product, shampoo, etc. ect...) The virgin hair will naturally be more pourous and less blocked up with the residue all the other products have left behind over the years you have grown your hair. It absorbs it like a sponge. Next time try to buy two boxes of the same color, add the first box to the ends first, and work up to the roots. This way if you run out of dye you will have a second box to mix and finish the roots. Good luck!

Why did the permanent hair coloring by Loreal only color my roots?

Have you colored your hair before? If so, it could be that the none colored part (your roots) took in the chemicals.

Another could be that you didn't leave the chemicals in long enough. Since you probably started putting the chemical on your roots first and then working your way down to the tip of your hair. Since the top part of your hair had the chemical stay longer while you were working your way down, might be why the top part of your hair is colored and not lower half.

Why did the permanent hair coloring by Loreal only color my roots?

because your body heat comes from your head, it can sometime cause the hair to get lighter at the scalp. also if you had color on the ends (even a rinse) it will not get as light as virgin hair. next apply the color to your roots last. to fix it you should go to a professional. they will most likely go back over the ends of the hair with the brown. but they will know what level peroxide to use that will give you the color you want and not damage your hair. it's hard to say without looking at it. but don't correct it yourself because color can be very damaging...good luck

L'oreal Hi-Lift Brown Hair coloring- Is it too much processing to only go a couple of shades li

I normally go to a salon to have my hair colored but cannot afford to lately so I need to do an at home color touch-up. I went to Sally's and was told to buy L'oreal Hi-lift browns in coolest brown. My natural color (w/about 1 1/2 ins. of growth) is dark brown and the dyed color is a medium chestnut brown. My concern is that this products requires a 30 vol. developer which seems pretty high. I don't want to change my color, at least not drastically. I was only looking for a color to match what I already have. I don't know if I should dye my roots first until I get the color I'm looking for or just apply it to the already colored portion first, as suggested, and then to my new growth. That just seems the opposite of the way its done in the salon. They first apply to my roots and leave on for about a half hour and then do an all-over. PLEASE HELP!!

L'oreal Hi-Lift Brown Hair coloring- Is it too much processing to only go a couple of shades lighter?

30 volume peroxide lifts 2 levels...so that should be fine and the coolest shade possible to cut the red-orange that is the undertone. Pull thetarget color through to the ends but with 10 volume for 5-10 minutes at the end of the processing time( that is at 20 minutes if you are pocessing for 30 min.)

Coloring over black hair.?

i dyed my hair black 6 months ago then i tryed to dye some of it red but it only took to the roots. so i dyed the roots back to black my natural hair color is dark brown but i want to go to a medium to light brown but i dont know how to dye over the black i dont want it to take to the roots only. does anyone know the process of stripping haircolor off and dying it again? thank you

Coloring over black hair.?

Putting light hair color over a darker color wont do anything, For a lighter tone you can use bleach with a light toner... If your looking to go just a shade or two lighter then I would recommend washing your hair with a good shampoo and baking soda to get allot of the color out, then using a color stripper (which will take your hair to a copper/orange color), Then a lighter hair color.. If you go to Sally's beauty supplies they can help you find a good one. If you are going to use the bleach make sure you get a toner, and make sure you get a Violet mix in avoid redness/brassiness.. If you go to a hair supplies store they can defiantly help you pick out the right things and help you understand how to use them. For damage after wards I would recommend a hot oil treatment and a conditioning mask called "Aussie 3 minute miracle" You can find this at any target or wall mart.. Of course nothing beats getting it fix professionally.

There's a way to stip the hair dye out but it does way more damage than dying it. You could try bleaching it, but I suggest getting it done professionally. Black hair is hard to work with if you do it yourself.

Discontinued Hair coloring product replacement?

I used to use a hair product called (from what I remember) 'Loreal Accenting'. It was awesome. It comes with 2 different colors (sunshine and honey) and you apply it with a think comb type applicator...no cap. I haven't seen it and can't find it online but would love to know where I can get it if possible..or if there is a better one with the same colors and application process. This product worked so well for me because if I couldn't afford to get it professionally done, this would work in the meantime for alot less $$.

Discontinued Hair coloring product replacement?

You should call the manufacturer... they often change the names and packaging of a product, and can help you find a replacement. Also check eBay.

Products for hair damaged by straightening/ coloring?

I color my hair- I'm trying to get it back to close to my natural hair color so i can grow it out- and I straighten it almost ever day. It isn't really damaged... yet... What products can I use to protect my hair?

Products for hair damaged by straightening/ coloring?

They have a lot of sprays that you put on your hair before straightening it. I know herbal essences has one, I personally like that one. Vo5 has one. A bunch of brands has them. I suggest trying them out to see which one is best for you. I went through a phase of dyeing my hair a lot, and straightening it so much my hair started to break off. I got nexxus shampoos and conditioners (definitely not cheap) and also got a GOOD leave in conditioner from nexxus and used a spray when straightening my hair. It helped ALOT! Also, don't blow dry your hair if you are straightening it, it's too much heat and can damage your hair more.

Products for hair damaged by straightening/ coloring?

I like Infusium 23 products. All of their products are great and don't cost a fortune.

Products for hair damaged by straightening/ coloring?

avacado oil and olive oil

REDKEN

EXTREME/CLEAR MOISTURE

and definately use some form of heat protection before yoou straighten blow out your hair this is essential

I was trying to lighten my bf's hair and it came out yellow so I called the product company and they told me step by step what to do to get his natural brown color back, but now it came out ginger orange. He's fed up... I'm fed up.... This makes the 2nd time this week I've dyed his hair...if I try again with a solid dark brown from the line of nice and easy... will it damage his hair too much or what? If it will, what product can I use that has low amonia but will get the job done?

Omg help! Hair Coloring Catastrophe!!!?

Well, if I were you I would just dye it back the original color and it shouldn't hurt it too bad. The worst you can do is bleach it and that would hurt it incredibly so don't do that. Just dye it brown.

Good Luck! :)

Omg help! Hair Coloring Catastrophe!!!?

right ur bfs hair went ginger because the peroxide strength in the home kit wasnt strong enough to lift the existing colour from his hair.

to avoid any more damage to his hair, i adivse going to a hair salon to sort out the colour as it sounds as if he'll need colour correction.

Omg help! Hair Coloring Catastrophe!!!?

:-) Better leave it alone and pretend he did it that way for a statement. It wont take that long to grow out.

Omg help! Hair Coloring Catastrophe!!!?

I am a licensed cosmetologiest specializing in hair color and hair color correction. First thing to do is trash the Nice%26amp; Easy color. It has a metallic base, is totally unpredictable as to how it will actually turn out and very, very difficult to remove from the hair. I doubt that you will have much success correcting this problem yourself since you have already put color over what you had previously lightened. My answer is: don't do anything else. Go to a professional. You are in over your head. If you still want to try to fix this mess yourself, you will need to use a semi-permanent, deposit only medium ash brown. L'Oreal is the best drugstore color. I do not know if even this will work or not. The reason you would use an ash brown is because ash shades have a blue/green base and contain no red pigment and are used to neutralize the orange color. But, like I said, after everything you have done already, this may not work but the deposit only, semi-permanent color won't further damage the hair but to predict what color it might actually end up at this point is impossible.

You should do hi lights and low lights two shades away from your natural color. Have your cousin show you some hair swatches and go from there.

Dark brown hair coloring at home that won't look flat?

I have naturally dark brown hair and would like to get my hair close to that. It is lighter in some areas from past highlights. What is a good hair color for dark brown hair that won't come out looking flat or boring?

Any helpful tips or suggestions would be appreciated, thanks!

Dark brown hair coloring at home that won't look flat?

Use a semipermanent tint such as L'Oreal Color Spa or Clairol Natural Instincts. They don't contain as much peroxide as the permanent tints, and the darker colors last a good long while.

Don't go with the very darkest brown tints; they tend to put too much tint at the ends and after a few uses you end up with black ends. Stick to the warm browns and auburns.

Dark brown hair coloring at home that won't look flat?

Good luck! I really like L'Oreal ColorSpa -- it seems to add more shine, and colors in the red/auburn shade range don't have a "purple/eggplant" cast. Hope it works well, and Happy Holidays! Report It

Dark brown hair coloring at home that won't look flat?

I wouldn't recommend dye from the box... I did that, wrecked what was left of my natural color and hilights, and had mousy-looking flat dark brown that ended up looking almost black!

Go to a pro and you won't regret it. They have dyes that do shimmer and look good. Probably what would make your hair look best is get an all-over rich brown and SUBTLE hilights no more than a shade or so lighter.

At-home dye BAD BAD BAD idea.

But.... if you decide to do it one word of advice--if you want dark brown go with a medium brown because it always turns out darker. Warm colors will look less flat. But be warned, home color looks nasty most of the time!

Dark brown hair coloring at home that won't look flat?

I started using L'OREAL Natural Match. I use the 4W Dark Golden Brown. For me it covers what grays I have, it lasts real well %26amp; it gives my hair dimention. I like it...

How long after coloring my hair can I shampoo?

Hi Guys,

I just went from a Med/dark Brown to dark dark brown/soft black hair color. (From the box, permanent hair color) I dyed my hair around 19 hours ago and I have oily skin so I'm starting to feel gross because I havent shampood in around 36 hours.. Do you think it will be okay if shampoo now? Or should I stick and out, feel nasty and bask on the oily glow of my new dark hair?

Thanks in advance!!

How long after coloring my hair can I shampoo?

usually 48 hours is safe....and the less time you shampoo the longer lasting...also....remember each time you shampoo the more haircolor fades with it...sometimes if you sweat alot just use water in between shampoo's...to help ease the gross feeling...good luck...and rinse with cold water to close hair pores....

How long after coloring my hair can I shampoo?

it says on the bottle....

How long after coloring my hair can I shampoo?

I usually wait a week. But that's because I would hate to lose color.

If it says on the box, I've never seen it.

The good thing is that you darkened your hair. At least if you can't take it any more you should lose much.

Good luck.

How long after coloring my hair can I shampoo?

nononono, first of all im a guy and i have dyed my hair black in the past, i learned it the hard way; that you have to wait about a week until u can shampoo, with my kind of hair dye. idk about urs but its a good idea. the longer the better, o and do it when u are at break or whatever so noone sees your greasy hair

Hair coloring info help?

I'm thinking about dying my hair a darker shade of brown, but I've never dyed my hair before. I would be getting it cut also, how much does that usually cost and what do I have to do to keep it up? Do I have to touch up every month? Is there any time when a different hair color really really doesn't look good on someone?

Hair coloring info help?

You should probably go with getting some of the color that you want streaked through your hair (lowlighted) - normal color touch-ups normally are done every 4-6 weeks - highlights and lowlights can be done every 6-10 weeks. Depending on your salon - cut, color, and style usually runs from $75 and up.

Sometimes getting your hair colored just one color makes it look a little weird since your whole head will be one color and most normal hair has different tones and colors.

Hair coloring info help?

all you have to do is buy some dye at a store, get a friend and have her put it in your hair. i have tried it and i looked beautiful the next day, that all the boys in school asked me out.

Hair coloring info help?

The mistake most people make is they put the dye into hair. First you must bleach you natural color out and then add color

Hair coloring info help?

The cost of dying your hair just depends on where you go and how long your hair is. You'll just need to call different places and ask them what their prices are. You'll probably need to get your roots dyed every 4-6 weeks, but depending on how little you want your roots to show, you may want to get them done more frequently than that. As far as different hair colors not looking good on certain people, that also depends a lot on your skin tone.

Hair coloring info help?

Well first thing.... make sure this is something you really want to do. After you color your hair you would need to always keep it up if you want it to stay looking good. If you change your mind and want to keep your natural color it could take months even years for it to grow out, depending on how long your hair is. Changing your hair color is always a great way to change your look. It will do damage and dry out your hair though. Just make sure you deep condition it once a week. Try L'Oreal Nature's Therapy Mega Moisture Nurturing Creme. I purchase mine at Sally's Beauty supply. The cost?... Well I live in California so I pay $125.00 every 7-8 weeks. Yes there is always a chance a different hair color wont look good on someone. Try this site http://www.stellure.com/

Hair coloring info help?

Cost depends on where you live and who you have do it. Where I live in Cali. we charge an average of $50+ for color and $45+ for haircuts.

You have to decide where you want this color for a long or short time. This will give your stylist an idea of what products to use IE: permanent or demi-permanent hair color. With permanent color I instruct my clients to get a retouch every 6-8 weeks however demi-permanent color is designed to fade with every washing.

And finally yes there is a time when certain color don't look good on people. This is something to discuss with your stylist. If he/she is any good they will be able to pick a color that will look natural on you.

Just so you know free_mark53 you do not have to bleach your natural color to add color. What shealynn_jaye is asking about is making her natural color darker. This process only involves adding a darker pigment color to her natural. Even when lightening hair bleaching is not always required, there are what we call high lift hair colors now that are a lot gentler on the hair.

Shealynn I seriously suggest you research your stylist if you've never done this before.

Good luck

i need some thing funky with out using colors of the rainbow u kno?

i have short hair and im gonna get highlights what colors should i get- i want my base color to be browns so any tips?

Hair coloring tips!!?

an option would be to bleach the most inner layer of hair blonde so you'll have a brown outer ''shell'' and blonde peeking out from underneath. a lot of people do the vice versa and have blonde on the outside and a dark color on the inside. this is a cool variation, it's something different.

Since you want a more funky look without going blue, try reds with the same undertones as the brown.

Dark brown hair coloring at home that won't look flat?

I have naturally dark brown hair and would like to get my hair close to that. It is lighter in some areas from past highlights. What is a good hair color for dark brown hair that won't come out looking flat or boring?

Any helpful tips or suggestions would be appreciated, thanks!

Dark brown hair coloring at home that won't look flat?

Use a semipermanent tint such as L'Oreal Color Spa or Clairol Natural Instincts. They don't contain as much peroxide as the permanent tints, and the darker colors last a good long while.

Don't go with the very darkest brown tints; they tend to put too much tint at the ends and after a few uses you end up with black ends. Stick to the warm browns and auburns.

Dark brown hair coloring at home that won't look flat?

Good luck! I really like L'Oreal ColorSpa -- it seems to add more shine, and colors in the red/auburn shade range don't have a "purple/eggplant" cast. Hope it works well, and Happy Holidays! Report It

Dark brown hair coloring at home that won't look flat?

you could dye your hair auburn without bleaching it so it will be dark but it has a red flare.

Dark brown hair coloring at home that won't look flat?

I wouldn't recommend dye from the box... I did that, wrecked what was left of my natural color and hilights, and had mousy-looking flat dark brown that ended up looking almost black!

Go to a pro and you won't regret it. They have dyes that do shimmer and look good. Probably what would make your hair look best is get an all-over rich brown and SUBTLE hilights no more than a shade or so lighter.

At-home dye BAD BAD BAD idea.

But.... if you decide to do it one word of advice--if you want dark brown go with a medium brown because it always turns out darker. Warm colors will look less flat. But be warned, home color looks nasty most of the time!

Dark brown hair coloring at home that won't look flat?

I started using L'OREAL Natural Match. I use the 4W Dark Golden Brown. For me it covers what grays I have, it lasts real well %26amp; it gives my hair dimention. I like it...

Go for something with red in it. Reddish browns won't look as "muddy" and drab.

Questions about L'Oreal Preference Hair Coloring?

I usually go to a salon to get my hair colored, but I cant afford it right now. In the past (different brands, nothing specific) I've had some hair dying problems. I once tried to die my hair an ash brown and It turned out a nice dark brown, but it had green tints. I've died my hair blonde before and had it turn out too blonde and my roots were orangy/redish.

My birthday is in 5 days, so I dont want to screw my hair up, but i wanted to look good on my birthday.

Has anyone ever used preference, is it of good quality?

Also, I have about a dirty blondish/light brown hair color and I purchased "Medium Brown" (no ash color!!) to do my hair with....do you think I'll be Safe with that?

HELP!!!!

Questions about L'Oreal Preference Hair Coloring?

I think that it will be fine. I don't dye my hair, but I do my mom's hair, and she uses Loreal Preference. I love the color, the only thing I would watch out for is not to leave it on too long, because hers normally ends up darker than it is supposed to, but it is still pretty.

Questions about L'Oreal Preference Hair Coloring?

hiya! you are going a darker colour so as long as its put on correctly you should be fine. if you have highlighted hair, then the colour will just darken the hair and you will still the the different shades in your hair. Loreal products are very good, i have never had a problem with any of them. My 2 tips would be 1. if you have hair longer than shoulder length, buy 2 boxes so as its better to have too much than not enough and 2. try and get a friend to do it as they can then ensure that all the hair is covered not patchy.

I hope that helps! Good luck %26amp; happy birthday in 5 days!

Questions about L'Oreal Preference Hair Coloring?

that's actually the only type of hair coloring product i will use, because it's the only one i've gotten nice results with. (ive tried others and been highly disappointed). so yea, you should be fine. you might want somebody to be with you though so they can make sure you got every hair covered!

Questions about L'Oreal Preference Hair Coloring?

The problem doesn't so much come from the product, but from putting a brown shade over hair that's been lightened to blonde. If your natural shade is brown or darker and you lighten it past the red-gold stage, those red tones have to be replaced before you take your hair darker again, or the base notes (ash/green) are noticeable. If you've lightened to that degree, before you color call the company's toll-free hotline and say you want to do a tintback. The consultant should ask you all about what color you've used to get where you are now, and what you want to use, and he or she will tell you how to get the result you want.

Good luck!

Questions about L'Oreal Preference Hair Coloring?

L'Oreal does make great products. Depending on the depth that you're going for, you may or may not be satisfied. Usually, when you're using a 'store bought' product, you really want to go a shade lighter than what you're aiming for, because they do seem to grasp your hair and deposit the color quicker and deeper. I would just keep a close eye on the color as its changing and decide when its the color that your aiming for. Also, anytime you go lighter, you always want to start from midstrand down, for example, apply the color to all of your hair from midstrand down (leaving your roots without color), after you've done so, the go back and color your roots. The reason for this is because your roots will lighten much quicker than the ends of your hair, because your roots don't have the product and build up that the ends have, and your hair is the warmest near your scalp, because of your body heat. Heat will cause the product to activate more quickly. Hope this helped!

Is it true tha hair coloring is bad for pregnant women?

Hi,

i asked my midwife if it was safe to colour my hair and she said yes..I also got it done i few times at the hairdressers when i was pregnant and my hairdresser was also pregnant and she said it was fine to do it.So i dyed my hair during my 1st 2nd n nw my 3rd pregnancy.i also straighten my hair everyday i dont think it can do anything it just makes my hair very dry...

Is it true tha hair coloring is bad for pregnant women?

There are different opinions on this subject. I would ask how your doctor feels. I have heard that using semi perm color is best while expecting due to the chemicals. The problem associated with hair dye is respiratory problems with the baby.

I personal have colored my hair, but try to wait and not do it often. I also limit how much I put on my hair. I do touch ups.

Anyone used hair coloring spray?

My girlfriend and I were thinking about getting some of that spray-in hair color stuff tonight just for fun. It's the stuff that you can spray in and washes out with the first wash.

She has dark blonde hair/light brown hair. I have dark brown hair. What kind of results would we see? Is this stuff worth a darn?

I'm open to any and all suggestions! Thanks!

Anyone used hair coloring spray?

From my experience, I like the colored hair mascaras better than the sprays. The sprays smell awful, and I don't think you will get very vivid results with your current haircolor unless you use something very dark, in which case it may not wash out in one shampoo (these products rarely do.)

Anyone used hair coloring spray?

If you want to color your hair just for fun, hair coloring spray is a good choice. The result is just the same as others colored their hair in saloon. The only different is your hair color gone after the first wash.

Hair Coloring Question????

My hair is currently colored a medium to dark ash blonde and I want to be bright blonde like i was a few months ago. Does anyone know which AT HOME color I should use?? preferable L'oreal Preference but I want to know what everyone thinks..thanks a bunch!!! P.S. I have a hair app. booked for Saturday just in case but I would rather spend $12 then $100

Hair Coloring Question????

Ok, you need to get the dark blonde color first. Go to Sally Beauty, get a box of Salon Care color remover ($13), this will take out all of that dye without using any bleach and leaves hair feeling healthy (this may require 2 boxes). This product does not alter the color of your roots. While at Sally Beauty, purchase the color you want to dye the hair and mix it with a 30 or 40 developer, these will help lift the color up to the light blonde. The best brand is Ion Pro, and the light blonde color from that line is level 12V, this is platinum color, but it is also a highlift color so it will lift it really light. After you lifted the color out of your hair, remember if it comes out a little orange, get a green/ash based color, and if it comes out gray, get a gold/neutral based dye.

Feel free to email me if your have any questions or need some tips!

PS: DON'T BUY A BOX DYE!!! THEY WILL DAMAGE YOUR HAIR SOOOOO BAD!

Hair Coloring Question????

L'oreal Preference is a good brand.

Try buying a golden blonde.

It should work.

Colorists? I have a hair coloring question..?

I have been dying my naturaly brown hair black for the past 3 years, and I really do like the color on me. I flat iron regurally (naturally wavy), and try to cut my hair every 2,3 months. My hair is pretty fine, but I have a lot of it. Its pretty healthy, but i do notice a lot of dryness if I go a while without cutting it. I deep condition when I can't get myself to the salon quick enough. I try to color my hair every 2 months, because, even though I use permanant, it does fade over time. I love the intensity of freshly dyed hair. My question is, should I not use a permanant every few months? Should I use demi permanat (clairol makes a demi permanant black)? Then maybe only use a permanant dye a few times a year? Do people do this, and does it work? The reason why I am asking is because I don't want my hair to eventually become brittle from dying it too much. I am trying to keep my hair healty.

Colorists? I have a hair coloring question..?

store bought permanent dye contains much more pigment than salon dye (this is to keep you out of a salon, and keep buying their product, with little regard to the quality of your hair)

pulling this dye through the ends of your hair every time is just depositing more and more pigment on the ends, and it will dry your hair out. the amonia level in store bought dye is ridiculous if you should ever decide to go a bit lighter, it will be a MAJOR pain in the butt.

I would suggest doing your roots with permanent, and every 6-8 weeks, refreshing your ends with a semi-permanent.

Colorists? I have a hair coloring question..?

Demi permanent is for refreshing color. so yes you can use it more often than permanent with minimal damage.

Keep trimming and deepconditioning these are the best ways to prevent dryness. If you flat iron often you should also be protecting your hair before you blow dry with a serum.

Colorists? I have a hair coloring question..?

The flat ironing is probably doing more damage then the colouring (I do it all the time too). You can try the demi but you will find it fades more quickly. If you were lightening your hair it would be a lot more damaging than going darker.

Colorists? I have a hair coloring question..?

Hello, I am a hair dresser. It sounds like you are taking the correct precautions. You aren't coloring you hair all over are you? You should only be coloring the roots (new growth) and you can use a glaze every so often to brighten up your color. Make sure you are using heat protector when you are using your flat iron. Another way to try and keep your color vibrant is to use a shampoo and conditioner for brown colored hair. Pantene makes shampoos for different color ranges and on the more expense side, so does Redken. You are taking great care of your locks and that is awesome! Just remember to only color the roots and you should have no problem. Hope this helps!

Hair coloring: blonde to brown?

hey!

Recently, I dyed my hair brown. on august 4th.

It was blonde and my roots were coming in pretty bad. Ive always dyed it blonde, but i was sick of my roots, so i decided to go back to my original color. a light brown.

Well I went to the salon, and she made it such a nice brown! I loved it!

Not even a month later, its faded! Im so mad! Everyone cant believe it! I went back to the salon and asked if I could get a discount if she did it again just because it didnt last. she said no because it was a semi permanent dye, which i didnt know! And she said if she used a permanent dye, it would only last 1-2 weeks longer thatn what it had. so i didnt do it. Then i went to another salon to get their view, and the lady there said she'd have to dye it red and then brown to make the color stay on the blonde! is this true? I dont know who to believe now! I dont want any red in my hair whatsoever! i just want to know if anyones gone from blonde to brown and had to dye it red first? hmm..

Hair coloring: blonde to brown?

Yes, it's called a filler. When going from brown to blonde you need to add red first so when you apply the brown it will stay in your hair longer. See, when you dye your hair blonde you strip it of all the pigment so it's like a hollow strand of hair and the brown has nothing to adhere to, thus, it fades quickly. I've gone back and forth from blonde to brown in the past and the only way to get the brown to last is with a filler. Blonde is EXTREMELY damaging to the hair and it reflects light rather than shadowing light as the brown does. I would have the filler applied then the brown and keep it that way! Brown hair looks shinier and MUCH healthier than blonde. Hope this helps! Peace %26amp; Love! P.S. You won't see the red at all!!

Hair coloring: blonde to brown?

I would go to Sally Beauty, get a darkish brown color, and dye it myself!

Hair coloring: blonde to brown?

to much to read. bla bla.. . MMmh blond.

Hair coloring: blonde to brown?

dye it your self get a brown color at sally's

Hair coloring: blonde to brown?

dying over blonde it will fade. Semi-permenant IS best because it's not as damaging and will last about just as long. I can't imagine dying it red before brown would make it fade any less but when it does fade it will fade to a warmer tone instead of an ashy gray color. Use the 24 shampoo dyes they have at any store and have a friend dye it for you or just do it yourself. It will save you a ton of money.

Hair coloring: blonde to brown?

I have the exact same hair color and problem. I think you'll just have to let all that colored blonde grow out and eventually the brown color will stay. Until then, unfortunately, the brown will continue to fade but each time a little less.

Hair coloring: blonde to brown?

Well... ACTUALLY if it's really blonde, it normal for it to fade, you would have to either dye it a really dark color.... or dye it a few times for the color to stay.... sorry!!

Hair coloring: blonde to brown?

okay, here's the deal. blonde is a light haircolor that's undertone is yellow. Brown is a deeper color that's undertone is red. in order to get from blonde to brown and have it look halfway decent and have it stay, you need to fill in the missing pigment. In your case, the blonde hair was missing red pigement. What should have been done is as follows: your hair should have been "filled" with the missing red pigment using a semiperm color. then it should have been colored with a permanent brown of your choice. this would produce a strong true color that has a dramatically less chance of fading. the first hairdresser either didnt know what she was doing, or did a quick fix.

i hope this was helpful. best of luck.

Hair coloring: blonde to brown?

I have done this several times and NEVER had to go to red! Just get a box of level 3 hair color at the drugstore in a shade that is closest to the color you want, I like Feria, and go for it. Or you can just keep doing a level 2 semi permanent at home, every two weeks. Buy some color depositing shampoo too, Artec is awesome. The color you start with might be a little dark but should fade a tiny bit and still be pretty. It's tough to get the right color on the first try.

Is your color getting green at all? That happened to be when I used semi permanent color from blonde to brown but, when I used the level 3 color it was perfect! Going a little darker, even than my natural color, was FUN!

Hair coloring: blonde to brown?

She is absolutely correct. If she does not add that red back into your hair you will end up with Green hair... There is a color scheme that must be followed - especially with dying hair! I did this to myself a few years ago... and had to walk around with puke Green hair for a bit because I didn't believe that they had to do all that to fix it....

Thankfully I wised up and listened to the hairstylist... And the color was beautiful!

Hair coloring: blonde to brown?

Hey chicky I'm the same, was always blonde and then I went brunette. My haridressers put a filler in my hair because if she dyded it brown, it would've gone like an orangey colour because blonde is so light!

So she put this *hideous* orangey-red colour on and then applied on top of this the brown demi-permanent (24 wash, they usually just call it a semi though, however semi's in supermarkets are diff, 8-10 washes). Looked great!

I maintain my hair at home now with a demi-permanent (24 washes), same as what she used - I use L'Oreal Casting - GREAT colour just make sure to follow the correct instructions (one is for roots and one is for all over colour). I've never had to put red in my hair since it's been coloured and your hairdresser should've put red in your hair in the first place. However, I know that when my colour fades it goes a reddish-brown unfortunately.... basically when you dye blonde hair (coloured blonde hair) it doesn't ever 'wash' out, the colour needs to be stripped out.

Also, *make sure* you use a shampoo and conditioner that is for brown hair - I used to use any, and now that I'm using John Freida, I've noticed a hell of a difference in that my hair colour lasts so much longer so it's definitely an investment (don't go for the cheaper ones like sunsilk for brunettes, they're not very good). And *never* use anti-dandruff shampoo on coloured hair as it strips the colour away...

Hope this helps :)
