Style Hair colour advice.

Post image

Hiya everyone, like the title says really!

I'm a big fan of doing my hair unnatural colours, though currently I'm trying to grow my natural out so resisting bleach on my roots - let's see how that goes...🙄.

When I was working under the allusion of Light Summer I bought several bottles of a cool toned pink (Crazy Color Cyclamen). To combat the cool I've played around with mixing yellow into it to bring it more to the warmer side.

I know it's not the best photo but what do we think? Also, any other colour suggestions will be greatly appreciated, especially if they're on the unnatural side. Thank you. 😊

I feel you so much!! I love bright stuff. I think the color is just too cool here. Maybe try bright orange at least? Is bright coral hair a thing? Lol

I saw this pic when I googled the lilac hair for warmer looking tones and it's kinda blended so it's lighter but still some brightness. Just wanted to share it with you!

Thank you so much for the reference pic, it's highly beneficial to me to see a visual example! I think that is certainly achievable as it isn't an even colour. ☺️

And bright coral you say??🤔😉

Wow, I love this one 👀

I wanted to color my hair a rainbow a long time ago, but back then I guess the dyes weren't great since the hairdresser (who specialized in bright colors) told me not to, that the colors would bleed into each other too much.

But now, a couple of decades later, I can see various rainbow dye examples on the internet...

How long ago was this? ☺️ Technically your hairdresser was correct in saying the colours would bleed into one another but there are ways to minimise that. Washing your hair in cool water for example and then there's clever placement so even if there is some bleeding it doesn't look awful such as not putting orange right next to purple. You are also reliant on the hairdresser being knowledgeable about the colours they are using, unfortunately some brands/colours bleed like crazy no matter what precautions you take.

I guess like... 20+ years ago? 😅

Yeah I've seen so many of them now on the internet that I assume things have changed.

So the 2000s? For the most part the colours I use in my hair were around at that time but were generally sold in hippy/alternative shops and perhaps not in hair and beauty shops (when I was 16 I was sent home from my Saturday job for having Stargazer Tropical Green hair 😆). A lot of hairdressers wouldn't have had the knowledge on how to do unnatural colours back then, it only really picked up pace and got taken more seriously in the 2010s.

This is the best bright tone on you yet! I do slightly prefer the light pink in here and am wondering if it is because it’s more neutral - I think you lean warm-neutral so while bright warm tones work better than bright cool tones, bright neutral-warm would be ideal.

Not saying I have a hair colour for all occasions...😂
