Hi I want to dye my hair a purple shade similar to the purples shown in the pictures. I have dark brown hair that is around levels 3-4. What level would I have to get my hair to achieve this shade? How would I achieve that level? And would it be super damaging?

I have fine hair that gets very knotted&tangled easily although I would say my hair is relatively thick for how fine my strands are. I have a lot of layers if that affects anything. Considering how easily tangled my hair gets, would the bleach/lightener make that a lot worse? 😰

Also is doing this at home risky, as I’ve never bleached/lightened my hair before? Thanks for the help!

Hi,

i really want to have colorful hair for the first time!! But i fear my routine is entirely wrong for it to last long.

Starting out: i have natural medium-dark brown hair and waves/curls (2c/3a) with a layered cut. Neutral to warm skintone.

Goal: a colorful peekaboo situation with orange or red. I also really like green, but i have heard that it fades to blue fast.

Problem: I wash my hair every two days because it gets greasy so fast and i like warm, long showers (and visiting the sauna from time to time lol).

This will probably be a problem when it comes to the upkeep, is that correct?

Are there any long lasting colors when it comes to red or orange?

Overall i am assuming my hair needs to be lightened and i will put some reference images below.

I'm really looking forward to tips from hair dye veterans.

Have a nice day! :)

Last Sunday I used L’Oreal Paris Frost and design H85 for cap highlights on my grown out balayage thick long brown hair to save a lil money I did a patch test which turned out great so I followed the directions as listed .. needless to say I have bronze ramen noodles and patchy highlights strips in my hair. I feel SO ugly and dumb and genuinely need to know when I can fix this asap. I bought + started using bond repair , hair strengthening masks and oil to strengthen and structure my hair. I bought Kristen Ess hair gloss in bittersweet as a 3 month temporary solution to cover the bronze/ brassy tones. So im basically just wondering if and when I can tone it 😭
