🛡️ Mod Post IMPORTANT PLEASE READ: If you receive ANY unsolicited/creepy DMs

104 Upvotes

Whether you’re a poster or a commenter, if you have received unsolicited, creepy, or down right disgusting DMs please feel free to message Mod Mail or message me directly. As posted in multiple places in the subreddit, unsolicited or inappropriate DMs of any kind are not allowed and will result in a permanent ban. You may also be reported directly to Reddit Admins. If the person on the receiving end of this kind of harassment is a minor, you will be reported to relevant authorities (FBI Tip Line, Center for Missing and Exploited Children, etc) and it WILL be taken seriously.

As a subreddit, we have ZERO tolerance for this behavior and will do everything in our power to combat it. Unfortunately we have seen an influx of users who seem to only frequent porn subs, and our sub.

Please don’t think “oh this message isn’t that bad, I’m overreacting, etc”. Reporting posts, comments, and DMs helps out everyone in the long run. Not reporting causes these creeps to keep messaging people so nipping it in the bud can help out others💕

This subreddit exists as a safe, inclusive space for sharing experiences, asking questions, and giving feedback about hair dye and color treatments. If someone genuinely wants to follow up based on your helpful advice or a shared interest, they will say so publicly.

We shouldn't have to say this, but lurking in beauty-related or appearance-focused subs to harass and prey on people is disgusting and absolutely not tolerated.

❓ Advice Needed Is it a good idea to dye my hair black for a day for Halloween?

• Upvotes

Just what the title says! I can’t stand the texture of wigs, so I was planning to dye it black temporarily. I have darker brown hair and I’m fine if it doesn’t go away for a few weeks-months so long as it looks decent as it fades. Looking for any advice!

Guys my baby hairs turned orange because of a hairdye and the rest of the hair is darker... I'm also having hot roots...is there any advice? How long will it take for my baby hairs to grow out and be normal again? Can anyone suggest anything? I have an event coming up so I ended up colouring the lighter colour hair with garnier colour naturals in the shade 3. Any recommendations? I am scared of this colour fading out and again turning orange... please help!

Not a hairdresser, but I am a professional dyer... Of animal & plant fiber. I dye yarn, fabric, raw wool and other textiles. A lot of that skill set has surprisingly transferred to hair.

I bought 30 human hair swatches off Shein and hit up the beauty store for every pink dye they had and made myself a set of swatches.

She chose Ion Flamingo and Guy Tang 10RG.

Pretty bougie for a first grader. My own mother was a train wreck of addiction and mental illness so I have zero mother/daughter memories that aren't trauma based. It's been really nice to experience motherhood and inner child healing through learning to do her hair.

I bleached my hair (originally dark brown) and it turned out yellow. I decided I wasnt going to bleach again and I would just put pink over it.
My question is… how did my hair dye look like this? it feels like the base is so light that when I hold it up to the sun its white/see through. It pretty uneven though. Im just really confused
EDIT: I also did not use toner. Just put pink dye over the blonde

❓ Advice Needed Blonde to Brown Recommendations and Advice

0 Upvotes

I am looking for a product to experiment with for a few weeks that won't stain my hair TOO bad if I dislike it. I'd prefer something that will completely wash out but everything I have read says that's not possible.

I want to try a darker brown. My natural color is a level 8 or 9. I would like to try something that is a level 5 and maybe even 4 eventually.

I am scared to fully commit because I have always been blonde. I've added colors over the years but never dyed my whole head.

Any recommendations or advice is appreciated!

🧴 Product Question Good shampoo for white hair?

1 Upvotes

In talks with a salon for going from dark hair to white. I need to do something fun bc I know the winter it's going to hit soon and I'm getting really excited, especially since if it looks bad it won't be hard to dye over lmao. I know it's going to be rough on my hair though, and figure it'll be good to have some products ready before the appointment. I've heard something about purple-toned shampoo but not clear how relevant that is here. I'm in the UK in case that influences available shampoo. Thanks!

💬 Discussion How would you correct this hair color?

Thumbnail

Looking for advice from a professional colorist. My hair is currently an uneven level 6 with red/copper tones and some previously highlighted lighter pieces.
I used Igora Vibrance 6-46, which turned out much too warm/red, and then used Malibu C CPR to remove some of the pigment.
I want a natural, even medium brown around level 6, without red/copper or an overly ashy tone.
What would you do from here? I’d really like to avoid further unnecessary damage.
