@LindseyAlyssa

I love your results!

I wish I looked good with red hair

[Guest LindseyAlyssa]

^^ Thanks bunches (: I was concerned with how short the length became, but now it's a lot more versatile than my long hair.

[Guest o1honey]

@LindseyAlyssa

Amazing hair color! I think it suites you really well.

Does it fade though? : (

[Guest LindseyAlyssa]

@o1honey

I've had cherry red hair before, and it did fade.

I use a lot of heat on my hair ex. flat iron, blow dryer. so that fades it quicker,

but I do use multiple "color lasting" type products that protect my hair.

I've never had it this specific color though,

so I cannot say how long it will last.

So to answer your question,

it probably will :/

but I won't let it >

haha. (:

Paul Mitchell color does last a pretty long time,

and with correct care should last for .. 1.5 - 2 months before fading.

[Guest the_wronged</3]

I was just wondering but how do I know if I would need to use two boxes of hair dye? For example, is there a certain length it needs to be to require that much hair dye? This thread really makes me want to dye my hair again :]

[Guest autumnHearts]

WORTH IT?: - Heck YES

Natural Hair type:

- pin straight

- thick

- shiny

Hair History: -

- Looong history.

Hair color Before:- black

Hair color After: - I went through a long series of different hair styles so I'll just post the solid colors I've done in order. This is from 2006, I think, to now.

And my current hair color:

Bleach?: - Yepp, and Color Zap to lift hair dyes. Only natural colors.

Hair Dye: - For natural shades I just used what I found in the stores, for unnatural shades I've used Special Effects, RAW, Manic Panic, Beyond the Zone, and Color Fiend.

Price: - Oh, who knows, but it's way cheaper than going to a salon.

Changes:

- Damage? Of course there's damage when it comes to bleaching your hair, but the thing about it is you have to know how to take care of it after wards cause my hair still soft even after all the bleaching

- Texture change? It's more rough, but because the bleach makes your hair more porous, I'm capable of styling my hair better and keeping it in place. Which that's most important to me cause my used to be flat to my head. I hated it.

Description: - For bleaching, you have to do the process as quick as you can or you will get uneven tones of yellow or orange. I used foil, tinting brush, and a bowel and I buy buckets of bleach for future projects and a big bottle of developer. After mixing the two properly, I section my hair and start from bottom up and foil half inch sections as I go up. If it's virgin hair, I leave it in for 45 minutes, if I just need to lighten it, about 20 minutes.

For coloring, I just put the dye in. If there any other color I want to put in, the procedure may be different depending on what I'm going for.

Comments: - I love everything I do to my hair and I love every color :3 I'm going to be going back to blue in a month or two. Probably just in time for my birthday.

What dye did you use for the reddd ?

Its gorgeouss. I really want to dye my hairr redd and I have been looking for a perfect red. haha.

Did you bleach your hair to get it that color ? because it looks so red o-o.

[Guest Keilynn]

LindseyAlyssa

Your color looks really great! It suits you.

Looks much better than before!

autumnHearts

I love your current color and the blonde one from the past.

You can really pull blonde off! <3

[Guest _dax_]

autumnHEARTS:

You definitely are not afraid of color nor different hairstyles!

It comes in handy to be able to mix and bleach yourself.

Best luck with your blue

I have a friend whose mom won't

let her dye her hair either :b She's

tired of it hahah. My mom supported

all this. As a matter of fact, she had

strips of color when she was younger

too, haha!

And thank you very much :] It's one

of my favorite colors!

TimothyHoang

Thank you :]

Keilynn

Oh wow, I thought I looked bad with

the blond lol, thank you very much!

_dax_

Nope I'm not :] Don't know what'll look

good unless I try! And it's hair, it grows

back and we can obviously dye it any

color xD and thank you!

[Guest AvisImportant]

Soompi_fanatic: To be honest, I think you before hair looked a bit trashy.. I'm not a fan of fake blondes. I think you look A LOT better with the new hair. I wouldn't say that it's worth $80 because you could probably have done it yourself using box dye since you're going down a colour, but you look A LOT more classier and more mature ^^

[Heroine]

Would post pictures but no matter how many pictures I take, my hair still comes out a dark brown in the photo

WORTH IT?: - guess so, it's ok.

Natural Hair type:

- thick

- straight

- medium long

- black

Hair History:

-Dyed a few times with red box hair dye and came out some dark reddish brown color.

Hair color Before: Black

Hair color After: a light-medium brown. Obviously brown when I stand next to my brothers with black hair

Bleach?: nope

Hair Dye:

Garnier Nutrisse, Beige Blond

Price: $10 NZD which is around $6.50 USD

Changes:

felt very rough after dying but was all fine and smooth after using conditioner.

Description:

left it in my hair for 45 minutes... even though the box said leave it in for 30 and not recommended for black hair. Also dyed a eyebrows a few shades lighter into a medium-dark brown. Everyone in my family says it looks ugly but I think it looks fine

i think that color suits you alot more. imo you look better with your current hair color, it adds a glow to your face

I disagree on the trashy part. I don't think that she looks like a fake blonde because of her fair skin and fair eyebrows, especially in the second picture she posted.

However, I agree that the brown hair suits her more, and makes her look more mature.

Nice change.
