Official { D Y E D . H A I R }: Before & After

[Guest michikosashimi]

im thinking of dying my hair,

but i have a really dark(?) black hair. o:

its my natural hair color.

i want to dye it to a brown color~

what color do you guys recommend?

[Guest evz88]

WORTH IT?: yes

Natural Hair type: fine and straight/slightly wavy

Hair History: dyed quite a bit hmm not really sure exactly how many times but its between 5-10 tried corn perm once too which damaged my hair really bad omg would never do that again..

these aren't all my colour changes but just the more recent ones, i'll comment below on the most recent one..

Hair color Before: natural black hair on top and dyed hair on the bottom

Hair color After: medium-light chestnut brown colour (looks more red/orangey in the pic but its more brown in person)

Bleach?: no

Hair Dye: Palty - Milk Tea Tart

Price: 219TWD which is about $11NZD and $6.50USD

Changes:

- Damage? it doesn't seem like it, my hair feels quite smooth which is great! normally when I dye my hair myself my hair feels coarse afterwards (mar 2008 pic shows a dark colour which i dyed myself, i'm not sure if you can tell but my hair looks quite coarse here =|)

- Texture change? none that i can tell

Description: just slathered it all over my hair and left it in for 45mins

Comments: I really like the results! love how it left my hair soft and the colour payoff is quite good for a DIY dye

[Guest Alisaur]

WORTH IT?: Yup.

Natural Hair type: Straight with the occasional waves and poofs.

Hair History: Highlighted like 3 times and dyed 3 times.

Hair color Before:

This is the only picture I have before I dyed my hair. = w=;

Hair color After:

^ First time: Used Vanilla beige on virgin hair. Didn't turn out that light. dx

^ Second time: Honey Brown.

Bleach?: Nope.

Hair Dye: First time : Palty - Vanilla Beige (2 boxes) Second time : Palty - Honey Brown (1 box)

Price: I bought the dyes for $7.99 each so it would be around $24 total?

Changes: It's a little damaged now, but that always happens when you dye hair. My hair seems less course and it's not poofy anymore!

Description: - I applied the hair dye, and then put a plastic shower cap on it. I blowdried on top of the cap and inside for a while, then I stopped. I left the dye on for about 40 minutes.

Comments: - I really like the result of the 2nd time I dyed it.

hope i helped

Has anyone found any asian brand hair color that lasts?

Since I want a blonde/orangey type of color, i'm only gonna trust asian brands..

I also think bleaching it first would be better? Since my hair is virgin black!

But i'm not sure which one is the best?

Help!

__thanks in advance!

Why don't you just go to the salon.

if your failing that get Garnier 100%

it's not asian brand, but my friend is korean dyed her hair

with RUBY RED GARNNIER 100%

it lasted 3-6 months i think

it faded on the last two months to a nice

red orange.

it has to say 100%

get the bleach to it lasts longer and gives u a rich color.

but do go to a salon if you can (healthier)

[Guest mimiosusume]

WORTH IT?: - YES!

Natural Hair type: Thick and curly black hair (yeah it does suck lol.)

Hair History: I used to thermally recondition my hair but it's too costly and now I just flat-iron and color.

Hair color Before: Lightened slightly to a dark brown.

Hair color After: Gold lol.

Bleach?: Yes

Hair Dye: Palty gold bleach

Price: around $15 on ebay with s+h

Changes: My hair is a little drier and fluffier but my curls look nicer than before and they are easier to flat-iron.

Description: I had my hair professionally done light brown but I wanted to stop paying so much to get my hair colored so I ordered some palty and used it on my roots but I had to use it a week later because my hair is really stubborn and I really liked how light my hair came out the second time. After I apply the bleach I wrap my head in saran wrap and put a towel over my head.

Comments: I'm really happy with my hair color and I am going to continue to use palty's gold bleach because the salon I went to charges around $90ish for a color job T_T I also recommend getting 2 packages of hair color because palty didn't give me enough to cover my whole head :/

[xChristineee]

Ooh. I have.

Made my hair feel quite dry.. The color faded a little bit after a few months.

Personally, I find GARNIER to be MUCH better than L'oreal.

Oh. And I need to dye my roots

[Guest petal]

Updating my post...I had a question since I was hesitant about dying my hair but I ended up just dying it anyway. XD

[xChristineee]

Say you dyed your hair, and you don't like the color. How long would it take before dying it once again, but without completely killing your hair?

I've always dyed my hair in 3~6month intervals.

I just bought this dye that has bleach in it, and I've been kind of iffy about it... I'm afraid I'll look bad with light hair.

[Guest darren26]

ADVICE ADVICE ADVICE PLEASE! so today I decided to go and TRY dying my hair by a professional for the first time of my life.. BIG BIG MISTAKE! I got recommended to go to a family friend's salon.. I asked for a medium/dark brown something that's NATURAL looking but at the same time noticeable.. BUT OF COURSE something had to go wrong.. instead I got a medium/light brown that looks almost orange WHICH is what I was afraid of.. ORANGE! Not only did I spend $60 on a color I HATE but I ALSO GOT A BAD HAIRCUT! the guy trimmed my hair WAY TOO THIN.. MY hair looks bad thin. now I'm worried because I work at a bank and this color isn't professional. WHAT CAN I DO!?!? I know re-dying it so quick is going to damage my hair.. I wouldn't want that.. will washing my hair fade the color faster?

I know these pictures might make the color look nice but that's only because of the lighting

here's a color similar to mine

You should go back and have them fix it or get a refund since you didn't like they cut your hair... idk if it's took late to do that but you can try and it doesn't look orange

Since your hair went lighter,it would only fade lighter is that what you even mean? washing your hair to fade color would end up damaging your hair and if you dyed your hair a darker color it wouldn't be that damaging compared to dying it a lighter color.
