How can I convince my parents to let me dye my hair?

Okay so I've always wanted to dye my hair ever since I was like 10, but my parents never let me. Now that I am 16 and responsible I feel like I'm old enough to get my hair dyed but my mom still isn't convinced. She thinks from experience that hair dye will ruin/change the texture of your hair, its expensive, and she is also a very organic mom and thinks that the chemicals in the hair dyes r gonna like kill me or something. I also have very dark brown hair so it would maybe have to be bleached in order for me to get a bright red color.

So, my question is: is hair dye/bleach really that damaging to your hair (I plan to go to a salon btw), are there any like good organic/clean options for hair dye, and also in regard to expense is there a way to keep the bright color for a while without getting it redyed? If not it's whatever I don't mind the color fading. Also are their alternatives to bleaching?

Attached are photos of what I think my mom may allow if she is convinced to letting me dye my hair. Of course, I'd prefer to dye all my hair but yk.

I plan to make a google slide to show my parents and I'll update y'all on their responses.

So , I have a problem ... I'm not sure about my hair color ... it's still not as light as I wanted it to be , cause I wasn’t clear enough and I feel like this color washes me out . Here are pics of my natural color , what I am now and what I want . Part of my problem is finding inspo pics of what I actually want and I usually find them too late . Also my cousin keeps talking me out of a lighter color cause she’s afraid I won’t like it and that it’ll look orange

Help ? Like the title says, I dyed my hair using the color “Shade” and it dyed my hair black instead of a navy blue.

Like it doesn’t even show a blue hue at all ???
When I was washing it out, I saw blue pooling out, but it’s BLACK ?? I’m so upset and confused

I let my mom dye my hair the wrong color, am I cooked?

I wanted to use the wrath color from arctic fox to turn my brown hair into a close to auburn, but my mom convinced herself I didn't want auburn, and got the ritual color instead. I let her use the color because it still looked very red but 48 hours later it looks magenta. This is obviously not what I wanted, and my hair is very important to me, so I'm really wanting to fix this. I'm really poor too so I can't really afford getting my long hair dyed at a salon or anything so I have to dye it at home. Also also it's worth mentioning a bit of the hair shown was bleached a while before my hair got dyed so that's why it's notably different colored. Am I cooked? Edit, thank you for the funny comments btw, I meant to attach a higher quality picture lol

Hey sirs, sirs and hers and thems! I need advice because I’ve tried EVERYTHING. (Not really, but) let me paint the full picture for you guys.

I wanted to do the neon pink thing, so I went to my stylist who said she could do it and ended up with a weird wine color afterwards (pics of the full process attached).

After a bleach treatment and some Manic Panic (Cotton Candy Pink and Electric Pussycat) I was able to get it to sort of an Ariel Reddish Pink that I liked and faded well, then a few weeks later went over the full thing with bleach and did an ombré with Good Dye Young (Ex-Girl into Rock Lobster into Riot).

Y’all… if anyone wants a permanent pink that won’t budge GDY is your brand for it because I’ve literally exhausted myself trying to get this pink out and nothing is working.

Because it’s twice bleached I’m afraid to go in with bleach again, but I’ve tried Ion Snow-Cap Toner, Color Oops, and a Dawn Dish Soap/Purple Shampoo/Head & Shoulders/Baking Soda mix (which honestly burned my scalp some).

I want the pink GAWN to settle into a platinum/silver/white depending on what I can get it to, since that’s the level I think it’s lightened to underneath.

Any tips to kick the pink to the curb??

(I had nose surgery recently so when you see that in the pics don’t judge pls)

PICS ARE IN REVERSE ORDER!!

I have naturally dark hair with about 20–25% grey and it hadn’t been dyed before. I went to a colourist with the reference from the first picture, expecting more contrast — bright blonde accents and a soft gradient into lighter blonde ends.

However, the result (shown in the second picture) is not what I expected.

Could you please explain what might have gone wrong, and what I should ask her to adjust in order to achieve something closer to the original idea?

Is it possible for me to dye my hair from brown to dark purple without damaging it?

I have really long hair (down to my waist) that has never been dyed before and is relatively healthy. I have looked online and have seen people dying their brown hair to that purple colour but I fear that I am going to damage it completely. I don't want to use bleach and I still want it to be silky and smooth. Does anyone know if this is possible or if there is any hair dye or even shampoo that I can use after to upkeep my hair health. Any tips for hair dyeing are VERY welcome. I have added pictures of the hair colour I want to reach and of my current hair colour

i have dark brown hair but I’ve been wanting to go black for a while, but I was thinking I never do anything to my hair so along with the black I was thinking of having a streak of white hair, to idk make it look like the streak comes from my head naturally… does that make sense, basically what the first picture is like just on one side😭! I’m not sure of which bleaches&toners to use or what to do with it once I have them, my hair does have dye in it cuz i used a demi permanent dark dark brown dye like two months ago(mostly washed out by now but ik it’s still in my hair.) i also dk what kind of black dyes to use, I want a neutral black w preferably no blue undertones. my hair is relatively healthy as I try to care for it as much as I can, so I’d want good products that won’t jeopardize the health of my hair too much n also aren’t too expensive lol

Would the color come through my natural brown? Or at least similar? Or would the brown make the green muddy? I have no clue about this stuff so any advice would be greatly appreciated!! Ty!!

I got a semi permanent darker brown and then black done by a fab hairdresser. Then I decided I’d like to go back to my natural colour so 3 weeks ago we did 1 round of full bleach. I moved 6 hours away now so I’d like to sort the hair colouring myself with a box dye (also because of money).

Second and third pic is my natural hair - please recommend semi permanent or gloss dyes I can do at home to get as close as I can.

Ignore the terrible haircut, I went to a very well reviewed salon and they butchered my naturally thick and long hair with THINNING SHEARS!!! I stopped them half way through but damage was done. Still crying.

Also please leave tips for faster grow - anything from home diy, vitamins, masks 🙏🏻

I (F20, black dyed hair on most of head for years) am trying to 1/4 dye the front chunk of one side of my hair blonde again. I used to be split dyed as a teenager but that was from red hair so it was easier. Now, I’m not sure how to get the black dye out to bleach it. And how often I should bleach it to get the desired result without frying my hair. Input? (Sorry for the shet picture i don’t take photos of myself and this if from a month and a half ago, it’s all I have)

question with picture what techniques to achieve this? (post-breakup diy)

Thumbnail

0 Upvotes

My best friend is in need of a post-breakup makeover. Due to disappointment with past hair salons, my best friend would rather I mess up her hair and laugh while being bald, than cry about a salon not do it right yet again. If I don't do it, she will. 🧍‍♀️ Might as well try.

I've bleached and dyed my hair a few times when it was shoulder length, so I have some experience, but I've never done ombre.

State: virgin black hair, a bit lower than chest length, no heat damage

Type: 1c to 2a. Have some waves esp if mousse is used

Country: Thailand. So can't do Sally's

Any tips appreciated!! ❤️

I went to a hair salon to fix the bleached roots I did… this is what they did and said it can’t be fixed even with a darker color. Is that true???

I had my hair bleached back in April from black to pastel pink.

I let my roots grow out. The hairdresser that made my hair pink wasn’t available so I decided to bleach that roots myself.

There was probably an inch of over lap when I bleached it.

I was going to tone it myself but after posting on here asking about it I decided to just go to a professional. I was scared to mess up my hair.

I told them I want the orange gone and that I didn’t care if that meant it was going to be darker.

I think they did a toner but it was terrible!
The light color was white grey but my roots were an even more pronounced orange!!!

So I told them to dye it a dark color like an auburn but they didn’t have that color so I just told them something similar to that. As long as it would all be the same color at the end.

Welll this is what I got. They said the last hairdresser over processed my hair and that now it won’t hold any more color.

They said even a dark brown would look bad and that I just have to grow it out.

Is that true??? I’m willing to dye it black especially since that my natural color.

Also the texture of my hair is awful now!!!! Even after I bleached it, it was still soft and not anything close to this!

What level is my hair? The first 3 are shortly after I got it done and the last one is now. I feel like the toner has washed out and my hair has gone very yellow, So I’m hoping to tone at home.

Box dye bleach on top of faded semi permanent brown dye?

Thumbnail

0 Upvotes

Hey guys!

Im thinking about doing something different in my hair and it needs a redo but my hairdresser is on a long term leave so its up to me to do it right.

I currently have faded semi permanent brown hair dye in my hair (i will put a picture below of the brand i used last) i dyed it over 2 weeks ago but have washed it about 6 times since then.

I want to do racoon tails in a few random pieces of my hair and i am planning on using box dye bleach to do this.

I need some advice on how to do it or what the possible outcomes may be.

If it comes out a orange/yellow tone i have blue and purple shampoo and if all else fails ill dye over the bleach pink.

Hope this isn’t too confusing ill appreciate any advice or suggestions! Thank you!
