[Guest ChouChou]

you don't normally have to bleach it if ya want like a brown/reddish colour or whatever

her in the uk in the salons, if ya want it like brown/reddish then they say they have to bleach it

Bleach?:

-techinically speaking, i only used bleach. i did, however, continue to shampoo with a purple toner.

Hair Dye:

-clairol born blonde

Price:

- $9?

mi hair didn't turn platinum blonde overnight. in order to not overprocess mi hair too quickly, i bleached in steps. if you do plan on bleaching your hair, know the stretch of colors your hair must go through in order to reach your desired color.

make sure the dye stays moist. also, i found that saram wrap helps and blowdrying [heat] speeds up the process.

i also suggest playing around with clip in extensions until you're happy with the color

^ your "now" color looks really cute on you :3

I used the sun in spray thing with lemon which made my hair lighter because I was too lazy to actually dye it x:

-edit- removed

[Guest DarkAngelInLove]

WORTH IT?: - Kind of

Natural Hair type:

long hair

Hair History:

dyed only four times

Hair color Before:

When I was a hair dye virgin

Hair color After:

First time: I really like the color

Second: returning my hair color to normal

Third: it's actually a blackish red, but you can't see it in the picture

Fourth: this is me now

Bleach?:

the first time yes

Hair Dye:

First time: some japanese brand

Second: Garnier

Third: Framesi

Fourth: Garnier

Price:

Garnier was about $4 - 6

The other two are probably really expensive (i was just their model so I don't know how much they cost)

Changes:

The japanese and Framesi dried my hair out

Garnier really didn't do any damage, it actually made my hair better, I think it's because it actually has natural fruit oils in it

- Texture change?

the japanese brand made my hair a lot thinner

Description: - The Garnier one was a cream so no drips coming to my neck! The other brands were in foils for about a half and hour to forty five minutes

Comments: - I would suggest Garnier, doesn't cost much and I love it.

[Guest elaineeel0ve]

woah this thread is pretty dead. but i have a question!

to those who have bleached their hair...

how long should i wait before bleaching my hair if i dyed my hair from dark brown to dark blonde today?

it was supposed to be light blonde but since i dyed it darker a few months back it didnt come out as light as i wanted.

any tips? suggestions?

[Guest witchery]

- short/medium/long hair

- etc.

Hair Dye: - Salon

Price: Haha yeah not telling =P Pretty pricey but worth it for the experience from a top salon I guess.

Changes:

- Damage? Not from this hair dyeing instance alone, no, but from a multitude of things prior to it =X

- Texture change? ^ Ditto

I'll just show my most recent dye jobs...

I just wanted to dye my hair red over my previous hair colour:

But bleach was only used at the roots and I requested a darker, more cool red so the red turned out much less vibrant than I had anticipated:

So I got my hair dyed again but they bleached it first this time, and also told me they'd be adding streaks:

Looks pink, right? It's not just me T____T Haha but it gradually became more reddish rather than pink after a few washes. It was pretty vibrant red but I didn't like the streaks!! >__> it was too emo for my liking.

And then it faded into a more orange/brown colour which was ok but I still didn't like the streaks! Argh reminds me of the wooden desk in my room.

So yeah I'm definitely getting it dyed again, but NOT in streak form. I want an all-over red a shade darker than the really vibrant shade I got.

edit:

wow! The good old redheaded days. Haha it's October now and just found my old post from the front page o__O

I can't believe how different I look. I've dyed my hair black about 3x in the meantime. Current pictures in 411. Should I go back to red? Haha idk xD

[Guest missM.]

I have a question: I have dyed hair but my roots are growing out. if i dye my hair by myself, will it turn 2 different colors? coz someone told me if u dyed ur hair by urself with black roots growing out the already dyed part will be lighter than the roots. does that make sense?

[Guest Autumn1430263885]

my hair was a reddish brown but it faded to a yucky orange brown -.-

i decided that i wanted to go back to black hair, so my roots are like 2 inches now~~anyone know how long it'll take to grow all out (my hairs shoulder length) should i wait for the roots to completly come out or should i just dye it black? ._.

[Guest dragyfj123]

MY HAIr worked out perfectly with palty =]

mhh a nice caramel brown

[F00LiiSH x3]
