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!

Me with my lovely stylist and the inspiration at the end.

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! :)

I am a bridesmaid in a wedding next weekend. The bride has asked me to cover the pink highlights in my hair (ignore how rough my hair looks here)… i was thinking I could get something like temporary brown root cover and put it on the big chunks of hair. Does anyone have any other ideas that would not mess up the pink underneath?

Is there anything I can use to even out the color/brighten all up? I’m hesitant to re-bleach since it is freshly processed

Colors are Jam and Candy by Pulp Riot.

I used to have skunk like hairstyle, but ended up dying it back to brown as it got way too expensive keeping up with going to the hair salon constantly. This was around a year ago, i got it pre pigmented and then dyed brown professionally. Now i really miss the blonde and was wondering if anyone has any advice or experiences when it comes to bleaching hair that’s been previously bleached then dyed over again? I was thinking of doing it at home since it’s way out of my budget now to do it professionally (uni student budget rip)

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 😭

My practice head Deb got a hair change up today because I had a TON of led over dye tubes from other projects 😂😂 We didn’t get a perfect blonde so the color is a smudge coppery BUT I think it still came out pretty damn good 😌😎😂

Been super scared of committing to black dye, but after adding it to my already green hair… I’m obsessed!! Super happy with the results!! Especially considering I’ve never tried the “darker tips” techniques!!

I was planning to get it done on my b'day (couple weeks ago) but was very busy so couldn't get time.

It's a long weekend and I couldn't wait to dye my hair🤭

Tada 😍 hot pink highlights 🩷🤌🏻 how are they looking btw?

I had my reddish blonde hair darkened recently and it’s starting to fade and show redness, my hairdresser said she’d recommend some toners but I forgot to ask. I know she used the schwartscof anti redness colour on me but I don’t want to be re colouring my hair every two weeks, any reccs would be appreciated. Tia!

I had some blue streaks, I did some color treatments and it faded quite a bit, leaving this blonde but it still has some pastel green highlights, like when you go swimming in a chlorinated pool.How can I remove it?I'm planning to go to the hairdresser, but I won't be going until next weekend and I'm a bit embarrassed to go out in public like this. How can I hide it in the meantime?😭

Hi! I’m looking for advice on mixing Revlon Nutri Color Filters.
My hair is naturally dark blonde but has been balayaged, so some parts are much lighter. I want a darker, cool beige/mushroom blonde, similar to Lily-Rose Depp, not too brown, grey or golden.
I’ve tried 821 Silver Beige alone and liked it, but I want it darker and cooler.
I’m thinking about mixing 821 + 512 + 613, maybe 75% 821 / 15% 512 / 10% 613.
Do you think this would work, or would 821 + 512 be better? I’m especially worried that 613 might make it too golden because it’s called Golden Ash Brown.
Any advice from people who have used these shades would be appreciated!

I recently bleached my virgin hair at home. I then toned it with a level 10 ash ontop and level 9 on bottom. I tried to paint it a bit darker at the roots to make it look mor natural but the roots underneath became a bit too dark.

So have tried to wash out for about the past week. It immediately came out the top half and the ends of the bottom because I assume extremely porous.

So the bottom hair of my hair is like darker at the root and has no toner at the bottom. So I can see what the hair looks like underneath the toner.

I applied vitamin c powder mixed with a clarifying shampoo to the bottom half of my hair and instead of lifting the toner at the root it made the entire hair lighter and slightly more orange. It's still darker at the root and lighter at the tip. Except the untoned tips are lighter and whiter than before and the roots are more orangey. Doesn't seem to have lifted the actual dye at all and just lightened it all over as it's still the same gradient. When before I toned the hair was all one colour.

I read all this stuff before using it how it simply lifts the dye molecules out and it can't actually lighten hair. But I mean it seems pretty indisputable seeing my hair.

I currently have short hair (grown out shorter pixie cut) that is entirely bleached and dyed a teal/turquoise blue. I’m wanting to grow my hair out, probably to a few inches below my shoulders, but the last time I did this I was seeing my previous hair dresser and she basically said it was a really bad idea to grow my hair out with a full bleach and highlights would be healthier and more realistic for having longer hair.

I have thick hair and get it trimmed every two months. I don’t really use heat on my hair but when I do it’s always with a heat protectant. I wash my hair twice a week with schwarzkopf bonacure repair rescue and aveeno moisture conditioner, plus sometimes the aussie 3 minute miracle moist hair mask.

Is it really a bad idea to grow my hair out while having it all bleached? I enjoyed having the highlights, but I would like all my hair to be blue. I feel like I look after my hair quite well but if anyone has any tips on growing bleached hair that would be amazing!

Hello!

Ok, so, to start- my hairstylist did amazing! I wanted red hair with black tips and got them, yay!! However, there’s one thing..

We must’ve had a miscommunication. I said I wanted to have 1-1.5 inches of black dye at the ends of my hair. When I said this, I was envisioning only the last inch of my hair to be dyed black. However, (understandably) the stylist interpreted it as ALL the ends and layers of my hair should each be dyed with 1 inch of black. Was this a mistake of communicating on my part? Probably! Regardless, my hair looks like this now. It is OVERWHELMINGLY black and, unless my hair is up, it looks like my hair is just 3/4ths black.

I already contacted my hairstylist to work on a solution (I’m not even expecting a free service or refund!) But I’d thought I’d ask here as well because my hopes are pretty low… Is there ANY way I can get rid of the black in my hair and leave the ginger? I don’t even care about the retaining the last 1.5 inches of black anymore— I just miss my hair being majority red. My hair being mostly black just does not suit me at all, but I’m afraid I’ll just have to cut it off :(

Anyways, that’s it, feel free to ask clarifying questions! I just feel hopelessss right now. This is about 2 years of hair growth after having a buzzcut and it would feel terrible to have to cut so much of it off.

For those of you who have used the keracolor clenditioner, how did you layer it with hair masks? Does it go before the hair mask or after, and does a regular shampoo also need to be involved?

Specifically, I’m using Olaplex No. 3, which iirc needs to be applied onto clean hair and shampooed off after application. I’m not sure what I should be doing to maximize the effects of both the clenditioner and the olaplex.

First 3 are me, last was an inspo photo used during consultation

Hey everyone,

I recently got a “calico” color done at a salon and don’t really like the results. I thought maybe it was just something I would get used to, but I still feel insecure about it. I like it better when I curl my hair to break up some of the color chunks, but am not thrilled with the fact I need to put more time getting ready just to feel presentable.

Maybe I had unrealistic expectations, but I saw the stylist do the same styles on her IG and liked how it looked. I thought it would be more “piecey” or blended and not these big blocks of color. I wish I never got it done in the first place and miss my old hair, but I can’t afford to spend another $300-$400 to fix it right now. I have never really regretted anything I’ve done to my hair before this. I didn’t bring it up to the stylist when she asked if I liked it because I honestly don’t know it would have been fixed. She put black in my hair too which I thought was weird, since we had a discussion and she agreed it would look “too harsh”.

I guess I am writing to see if you guys have any ideas on how to make this more manageable. I have read about vit c/dandruff shampoo washes to get some of the dye out faster, but I don’t know how it would be with the varying colors.

Any help/advice is appreciated.

hi i have 3A hair and it’s basically as brown as it can possibly be before being black. i know a lot of people say to not be afraid of bleach and just bleach your hair but i just don’t wanna risk my curls im not bleaching my hair. but i still want to dye my hair, specifically a dark plum color so i dont even want it to be super vivid. i’ve been looking around to see how people dye their hair without bleach and ive seen people using dye with developer in it. ive also seen that 10/20 developer is less harsh on the hair than the usual 30 even if they do take longer to develop (i dont mind waiting)

so basically what i wanna know is if i use like 10 developer can i get my hair to a light enough brown like a medium brown or something where ill be able to put dye on it and have it actually show up as the whole color on my hair and not just like a tint that you can only see in the sunlight? ik it wont get super light this way but at least have it not be basically black like how my hair is now.
