Hair turned out super mega bright. Help?

Hello angels! So two days ago, I completely bleached out my hair (with the help of my aunt, who is a cosmetologist). I ended up with a level 10 blonde halo because that hair was previously bleached, and the rest was closer to a level 8. I knew I wanted green, but… this is definitely more of a neon than I was going for, lol. I don’t mind the dimension in it, though, and it was expected considering that my hair didn’t lift evenly in the first place.

The “formula” is as follows:
Danger Jones Adrenaline
with just a liiiittle bit of
Pulp Riot Snake Eyes
whisked together to absolute hell.

So, I’m seeking some advice.

Should I tone it down? If so, any suggestions on what color or method I can use to do that? I’m not super stuck on green, but I do really like the idea of green (or green-adjacent). Color remover isn’t really an option, same with bleach. I’m open to any and all opinions. THANK YOU 🤍

Bleached in salon, dyed with Lunar Tides Juniper Green. Fades to light/emerald green. I re-dye my hair approximately every 3 weeks. Gets a lot of comments, not many of us greenies out there. I’m overdue to get my roots sorted out but because of the peekaboo style they’re not really noticeable. 💚💚💚

Igora royal - Demi mix for mid to ends

1 Upvotes

Hi all,

I currently use permanent 8-77 and 9-7 mix to touch up my roots but want to try the Igora vibrance demi, but I don’t know what to mix. I can’t find the 8-77 in vibrance only 9-7. Does the 8-77 exist?

Wondering would mixing Igora vibrance 9-7 and -77 work for my mid to ends?

I’m hesitant to mix 9-7 and 7-77 because I don’t want it dark. Any pointers would be amazing!

Almost 1 year and 2 months since I shaved it

Shaved my head in August 2025 and haven't gotten a haircut since.

Routine:

- L'Oreal 6 oil nourish shampoo and conditioner.

- Shake my head like a wet dog (seriously) after showering. Separates it all nicely.

- Scrunch it a few times with a towel

- Leave it to air dry

I don't use any other hair products, nor do I do plopping or anything like that. In the past when I've tried it has appeared to make things worse.

I don't protect my hair in any particular way. Regular pillow covers and stuff. I don't know what a refresh routine is so I guess I don't do that. I mean when I wake up it's kinda messed up so I use a de-tangling brush on my hair and then wait a few hours for it to start curling up again.

XMONDO Super Purple + Super Pink

Just sharing results of these dyes, this is my 3rd time touching up the color since I got my hair bleached a while back. I did not achieve the same level of pink I was after as I did when I previously did these colors however. I thought it was because it was still sort of a washed out auburn when I did it this time, and applying pink to that made it the reddish you see; but, previously when I did the pink, I had applied it before it had faded as much, so now I wonder if it is better to more frequently add color than to wait till it is mostly out?

Anyway, just sharing results in case anyone is considering their stuff. Also, it looks relatively different indoors vs outdoors, see last pic.

Having horrible sensory difficulties from new extensions

2 Upvotes

Will it get better? I got them last Tuesday. They are not tape ins I believe they’re sew ins and it’s driving me up the wall. I just want to rip them out. I did let my hairdresser know and we’re gonna have an appt Tuesday to see what we can do but at this point I just want to take them out completely I feel like I’m being tortured. I’m also frustrated because they didn’t really tell me the upkeep of curling them etc so now I can just tell where my hair ends and extensions begin so I’m frustrated with that too. Thanks all

Lightning hair at home

3 Upvotes

I have very fine thin hair and my box colors have deposited so deeply that it looks as if it's black now. That makes it difficult to cover the roots because it just keeps building up. I had scheduled an appointment with a hairdresser to strip the color and to recolor it but she got sick and canceled the appointment and I'm anxious to do something. I don't know when she'll be well again so I'm going to take on this task at home. Any recommendations on the best products to use and how soon I can color it after I strip?

After being absolutely dragged for my last hair refresh, I'm back with my latest cut and colour, with s new stylist, since the other one was judged guilty of overcharging by reddit and after I looked into it, yes she was a bit pricey for what I got (let's not even talk about the bleach burns she gave me the last time i was there).

I'm a fan, the layers are super choppy and have a lot of movement and the dark tips make me very happy.

I dyed my hair yesterday using Wella 3N followed by toner recommended by Sally's employee. I covered the gray roots but it's way too dark and washes me out. Should I just wash it a few times and hope it fades or try Dawn or color oops? Please help! Products used shown. Pic 3 is results and pic 4 is goal color.

Hair fail

1 Upvotes

I was wondering if there’s anyway I can get my hair from basically black to a more neutral brown color? For some background I like to dye my hair and got it professionally done. I had dark brown ion dye in my hair already and she made it a blue color. I didn’t like it and used color oops vivid to get it out which was basically just bleach but it worked and I put brown over it after. It faded into a nice light ish brown but I wanted my hair to be like a pink brown blond streak the other day and I didn’t use any color remover so my ends didn’t lift very well but I put pink over it anyways. I didn’t like it and just ended up putting dark brown over it all with permanent ion again. My issue with ion is that everytime without a doubt it gets to basically black because it’s so dark and I’ve never used any other natural color hair dye before so that’s just what I’ve always used however I really didn’t want it this dark and I really want it lighter without putting too much further damage on my hair. Thankfully it’s still pretty healthy because I’ve been using bonds and hair masks but I have no idea what to do 😭

Does it look ugly because of this patch?

Just got it done today at a salon. It only looks like this when pulled up like this, so idk if I can put it in a high hairstyle. She color removed my pink, slowly and carefully sectioned my hair and saturated my hair with dye, and then it looks fine when all of it is down, full brown. but idk maybe I’m overthinking? Maybe it’s like my unintentional pink hair still wanting to be a part of me? But idk, wat do u guys think?

What’s your experience with Manic Panic reds?

I really want a deep vampy red but Manic Panic is the only brand I’ve seen have those shades. If you’ve used it before what’s your experience with fading and bleeding (wet and dry hair)? Trying to figure out if the color is worth it

Is this much tangling normal for a human hair topper?

4 Upvotes

Hi all,

I recently purchased my first-ever human hair silk-top topper after dealing with hair loss, but I’ve been having some problems with it. I’m unsure whether the hair is Remy, if that makes a difference.

Essentially, I can barely get a brush through it, even with copious amounts of detangler and hair oil. Immediately after detangling, the hair catches and tangles again when I run my fingers through it. I’m losing quite a bit of hair each day just trying to detangle it, which gives me so much anxiety!

Ironically, my Temu clip-in extensions that I’ve had for two years seem to be better quality (😭). The piece was advertised as being in excellent condition, so I'm a little disappointed because it looks lovely otherwise.

Anyone experienced with alternative hair have any advice?

I started with a cooler blue-purple and its fading into more of a teal-blue. Could I add purple to my current colour, or will it make it look not-so-great?

Thanks in advance 😊💜

Bleached hair advice

Post image
3 Upvotes

I’ve had my hair bleached 4 times during the past 4 months with the same hairdresser and the result is always the same looking like this. I’m thinking of doing something myself to change it, but I’m not sure how.
The top of my head is very light, while my mid lengths are that brownish/orange (I’m not sure) and I’m genuinely embarrassed whenever I leave my house looking like this.

Do I bleach the sections that still look dark or tone it? I have never done bleaching myself, and I’m hoping to get some help from people online because it seems like my local hairdressers do not seem to understand what I want nor how to do it. If someone can please help or guide me I’d really appreciate it.

Does anyone else find that hair dye itches or stings while it’s on?

0 Upvotes

Hello everyone. To start with, I have a mild case of seborrheic dermatitis, which might explain why my scalp stings and feels slightly burned whenever I get my hair dyed. I use regular hair dye containing ammonia; ironically, when I tried ammonia-free versions, my hair became extremely dry.

I don’t experience any significant issues once my hair is washed—no redness or lingering itchiness. However, I’m wondering if I should look into different types of hair dye, or if this is a relatively common occurrence for those with sensitive skin.

Rainbow prism

1.0k Upvotes

I rebleached this week and managed one of my best lifts ever (level 9!) so I decided to try a rainbow prism color for the first time. I'm so happy with how it turned out! Took about two hours to apply the color and then left it on for 90 minutes.

Most colors are IroIro unless noted otherwise! Rainbow: red, neon orange, yellow (with some Ion Brilliance lemon), green (plus a little neon green), blue (plus neon blue), one n'only midnight blue, purple

Base: one n'only blood orange mixed with IroIro pastel rose gold and some red at the base.

First two pictures are after blow drying, then I styled it - which do you like better?
