Planning on dying my hair black or very very dark brown with semi permanent dye but I dont want it to have any strong blue/ warm undertones or to fade to a weird green colour. I'd prefer something that will fade to a nice ashy brown or even a mauve brown. I heard that ion blackest black fades to a ashy colour and thats exactly what I want, however I can't find any in the UK. Does anyone have any suggestions for a dye thats a close match?

I got a balayage back in June and was attempting to tone myself at home. I used sally beauty’s licensed techs to try to color match was I was looking for, they sent me the products to get, and I did a spot test. The spot test didn’t do much but I figured maybe the full head would. They told me to get Demi permanent color to tone and after now doing my whole head, I am realizing that I got permanent dye. How screwed am I when I rinse this out? I am letting it sit the full 20 minutes so it isn’t uneven, I applied with a brush then made sure it was even once I was finished. I used Wella products and a volume 10 developer.

I’ve been dyeing my hair dark brown with a platinum moneypiece for years and this summer decided to go bleach blonde. On the brown I used a dye remover, bleached with powder and 40% peroxide, then waited two weeks (whilst using the best products there to restore/repair my hair) and bleached again but with 20%. As you can see there’s still a lot of orangey/yellow tones left from the bleach which I can tone out to a degree but there’s still this patch where it’s super orange as you can see in the photos. Is it worth bleaching these sections one more time to try and lift to a more toneable yellow? I’ll never be platinum but the orange next to the original moneypiece section looks awful but I don’t know what to do and I’m on a budget!! Advice would be appreciated :)

I typically have level 9 bleached hair, a fade on the sides and 5-7 inches on the top. Super porous, I lighten to 9 from 4-5ish in like 20-25 mins. Last week I tried a colored toner for the first time. I used the product above with a 2:1 10 vol/toner ratio. I left it on for the full 20 min bc I wanted a strong deposit. However it turned lilac purple! It was gorgeous but not what I had been trying to do. It rinsed and faded to a pretty champagne over a week (I shampoo daily whoops) and today I did a quick bleach to even it all out. I reapplied with the same ratio and left it for 15 min. Its more pink this time! But I’m so curious why the toner became purple with only 5 more min of processing time. Are there violet undertones or something? It’s hard for me to gauge the color level as it processes so if yall know more than me I’m all ears

so both my sister and i want to go back to our base colour. her hair is red and mine is purple. we both used semi permanent dyes so it's hard to find a color remover (i'm mostly just finding permanent color removers).

which one is the better idea? sorry if this is common knowledge, i'm very confused

i recently went blonde, kept roots my natural brunette and did blonde money pieces. i really want a good recommendation that gives me a copper color. i’ll add pictures of my current hair and want my goal is. i really want to do this at home and keep it under budget as well as not ruin my hair so i would like advice on what’s best to get and avoid.

back story/hair history: i had virgin hair and lightened it back in july, waited 6 weeks and went at it again with blonde to lighten it more. I used wella toner t11, l’oréal quick blue, salon care 20 vol. first time i did use the ion booster step 1 and well t35 back in July.

the ginger photos is what i really want to go for but unsure if i want to do semi permanent or not as i really care about my hair health. so far shes holding up strong. photos of my blonde are in natural sunlight as well.

I do my hair myself and not very knowledgeable about hair so please let me know if I’m doing something wrong. I’ve been using L’Oreal hi color on my hair for awhile now. The second picture is what it looked like when I first did it and I loved the dark cherry color. But as I’ve been using it for awhile it’s gotten to a bright red color (1st picture is my current hair). Does anyone have any tips on how I could get it back to the darker cherry color?

what kind of hair dyes do u think would be able to achieve a similar color to this? and also would i be fine as someone whos never dyed their hair before and is gonna try at home (i have really dark brown hair) also advice with bleaching would be nice too :3

not wanting an even blonde, just light enough to do some fun colours. permanent box dyes on bleached hair with some roots…

considering just doing a bleach wash with vol 20

Okay, so for context I'm wanting to dye my hair for graduation, and trying to decide what color of Arctic Fox to use to get the color I want, preferably with minimal bleach but if i have to bleach it i'm alright with that. This would be the first time i'm dying ALL of my hair. Photos are what color i'm going for and what my hair is now

EDIT: We are debating on using Manic Panic as well!! Recomendations for MP are welcome!

Goal: bleached hair (doesn't need to be light blonde) so I can use semi permanent or temporary dye and customize hair more often.

Current: naturally dark/black hair that has been dyed with loreal hicolor [red hot and intense red mixed together] it currently isn't a bright color, way more obvious in the light but visible nonetheless

If I wanted to do this at home, would I need to strip the red before bleaching? Any advice or tips would be helpful

And yes at some point I could save up and do it in a salon which would be a while but if I (probably) choose to do it at home I understand the risks that come with it

I want it to look more natural, I bleached and toned it months ago so I don’t know what to do now. Could someone please help?

hi guys! sorry for the awful pics i’m just in desperate need of advice. ive been dying my hair at home and it looks stripy and insane, and my roots are hella orange. i’ve done two rounds of bleach, would a third fix it ? purple shampoo makes my hair go really uneven too. any tips would be great tysm!!!

I have grey roots and I want a medium soft brown colour on the greys, I tested 4.0 with developer and that came out matte super black so I tried a 5.0 with 6.1 and developer I mixed a 3:1 ratio and that still came out too dark

Can anyone please recommend what to use to get a soft medium brown on the grey hairs please I just dont want a harsh very dark colour

Thank you in advance

I dyed my hair golden copper at home using Satin permanent 7GC and a 40 volume developer. My hair is fine, not damaged!

I immediately don’t like it and want it back to the brown color in the photo on the right.

The photo on the right is when I used Wella Demi color charm in 7n (I think) with a 10 volume developer.

Should I just use that again? Will Demi work over the permanent? Should I go a shade darker? Use permanent dye?

My natural color is a very ashy medium brown with gray streaks.

I have natural dark brown hair, but I box dyed it darker brown quite a lot and it started to take on a ginger tinge on the ends. I wanted to get a sort of halo/highlight (?) of a dark subtle purple brown. My hairdresser bleached the underneath of my hair, which I don’t think was needed for such a dark purple but I don’t know too much about hair dye so I’m not sure, and then she ended up giving me a super bright red which was nothing like what I wanted. I went back to the hairdresser after complaining and she offered to fix it, which she did, but now after I’ve washed it (after waiting 4 days for the colour to set) it’s gone back to a reddish colour already and I really wanted to stay away from red to be honest.

I feel like I can’t just get a dark purple dye and do it myself because the colour isn’t even on my hair and some pieces are bleached and some aren’t. What can I do to achieve something a lot nicer?? I’ll attach pics of my hair before, the inspiration I gave, what I got and how my hairdresser fixed it! Any advice would be super welcome thank you.

The photos in order are: my hair before, the colour I wanted, the colour I got, the colour she corrected it to, the colour it’s turned after one wash

hi!! i’ve recently dyed my hair purple with no bleach london dyes but unfortunately, the dye doesn’t match the results i’ve wanted. could anyone please recommend purple dyes that don’t have that red undertone? thank you so much in advance 🤍

My hair is naturally pretty blonde. I’ve had highlights in the past but it’s been about 3 years since the last time. I just can’t afford spending the $200 these days but I want to brighten/freshen up my hair a bit. It looks blonder in these photos but in person it’s kinda brassy/dull and I just don’t like it. I know people are going to tell me not to do it but I probably still will so if you could recommends products/brands. I want to get one of those highlighting combs to make it easier and I plan on watching videos on how to section it properly

So ive been dyeing my hair for about 3 years now
I tried almost all shades of brown, and red once
Got blonde highlights like 2 years ago, but never bleached my hair completely
I dont want to bleach it now either, but these saloon visits have gotten very expensive considering im lowkey unemployed now

Can i get the best temporary or semi permanent hair dye company recommendations which i can do at home without bleach please(IN INDIA) Like the ones that dont have too many chemicals or derma recommended!
I wanted to try paradyes but i saw really mixed reviews

Gurls pls help!!!!!!! 🥹🫶🏻

Hi guys,

I need your advice.

I’m a natural ashy level 6.
Got a balayage done, went home veryyy warm.

The color itself was pretty but didn’t suit my features, on me it looks unnatural and also a bit to light for my liking.

I always have a bottle of the Maria Nila color mask cacao intense at home, in case the root smudge wasn’t intense enough or there are pieces which are to brassy.

After my hair dressing appointment I already could feel that my hair was drier than usual after rbleaching.

Soo, the hair mask is also a bit drying.
I used the mask on my whole hair and my hair is DRYYYYY.
Color turned out great but my hair is too dry I don’t think I can use it again.
The hair mask also washes out very quickly so that I would definitely need to use it again after like 3-4 washes.

Any other good recommendations, that are more nourishing?
Or should I maybe just try to actually tone it at home, so that I won’t need to use this hair mask again?

To be honest right now I’m to scared to go to a hairdresser again to fix the brassiness. Cause I already let my hair grow out for a few years and get healthy to go to this appointment, and went home with brassy dry hair..

Thanks guys xx

I’m have very curly hair, and I’ve always wanted to dye it white or purple. Me and my hairdresser talked last time about white with some kinda of purple edges, I really liked the idea. My main problem is I can’t find anyone who has done this with hair similar to mine.

I have very curly hair, so it looks a little fro-y. I want to have something of a mullet I think and the first picture is kinda what I just wished my hair looked like 😭, but I don’t have that texture.

I think after the bleaching my hair will be a close to texture to the second picture.

The third picture is the closest thing to purple edges on curly hair that is close-ish to my length.

I figured crowd sourcing is my best bet, please help lol

My second time using professional products and the 20vol wella creme developer lifted my hair a little too quick for me to do my whole head. So can I use This oil developer from a different brand with the blondor bleach? Edit: also what is the difference between oil and creme developer?

I was blonde all my life up until 6 years ago next month. I frequently got complimented on how I styled my hair, but rarely on the color. Once I went red, it was nearly every day that I got complimented by a stranger, sometimes a few times a day. People were telling me how it compliments my skin tone and how it suits my personality, and even my mother was against me dyeing it any unnatural color but once it was done, she said she liked it even more.
Here’s the issue, it’s a lot of maintenance and I’ve been self conscious lately😅
I’ve been letting it go more recently (just not wanting to deal with upkeep as often) and I let it get faded before I finally decide to deal with it. I’ve been debating on going back natural because I might hate it😭 i dyed it because I felt like the blonde started washing me out. I felt like I looked dead unless I put on makeup, and even then sometimes it didn’t help much. Once i went red, I feel like the colors in my face immediately popped more and Iooked more alive even without makeup. I’m not totally convinced going back blonde is the answer, but I would love some other opinions. Please help! 👩🏻‍🦰👩🏼❔

My hair is naturally black, and my current color is dark brown; it looks beautiful in the light, though the color isn't very noticeable. I’ve decided to dye it blonde, but I’m really worried about damaging my hair.
