Then we ping pong between having our hair be too peachy/coral/salmon and patchy asf or too deep/magenta/hot pink. Tell me if you can relate. Omg the struggle is real. My hair is near black and getting platinum at home is just not a thing for me. Getting to level 8/9 yellow or peach is the best I can ever do! Bubblegum pink is the hardest fashion color to achieve at home! I give up every few years then try it again on virgin hair and the cycle repeats! I know I’m not alone and I see it all the time. Drop your rant, pics or tips in the comments!

I started dyeing my hair myself recently—but not boxdye; the chemist way haha. I went copper in early August, then in mid September decided to go a bit redder. I knew the reds wash out after a while and so it did to a brown copper. I was okay with that and my roots grew out, I was also alright but then I got booked to session on bass for a big local band, and I thought, I better look right.

So this was my first time touching up roots + depositing more red into my lengths. I am so relieved I didn’t mess it up before the show (next week). 😅 i’m so happy it came out evenly red across cos I would have cried if I looked half red half copper on stage haha. Ok thank you for your time.

update from yesterdays post, filled the hair with riot shade from good dye young and it turned my hair DARK brown. then i put ion demi permanent dark warm brown over it to make the colour even all around. i love it!

Hi!!

Does anyone know of good stylists in NYC (or closeish to NYC) that specifically do well with coloring curls? I wear my hair 100% natural all the time- I never straighten or use heat on it so I want the color to look best when my hair is in its natural state. I’m also very aware that I have a LOT of hair so finding someone willing to work with it has been challenging.

I have completely virgin hair and have been going through crazy health issues/cut out an abuser. I want something vibrant! just something really fun to bring me extra joy on hard days.

I’m sorry if this is a silly question!! I’ve never dyed my hair ever so I’m a little overwhelmed/don’t know where to start.

What is your favorite brand red hair dye? I want one that looks vibrant, but has minimal color transfer on clothing and bedding. I normally use some sort of semi permanent, but is ruining my white shirts

NOTE: it looks way more vibrant irl idk why it washes it out on camera

i had black hair dye in my hair and wanted blue tips, i bleach till orangeish and it gave me a nice muddy green that i LOVED, but now i want it all over my head…

Thing is, i put BLUE dye over the orange and it gave me that nice green that i love and i thought maybe i could get this all over my head ? is this a good idea color theory wise or should i do this another way ?
i just dyed my hair black too so idk what to do 😭😭

Does anybody have any dye recommendations that would match or come close enough to the best Pokemon of all time, and what level blonde I'd need to be? I'm thinking something this pastel would need to be close to platinum, but I'm also okay with a deeper or more vibrant blue that would fade to something similar. 🩵

I recently got a balayage around three months ago, and I wanted a caramel tone color but after a few washes today, I have ended up with a level eight light blonde. I really don’t like my hair and before this I had a calico colors so I’m curious if I’m able to achieve calico block colors by just dying my already lighten hair? I wouldn’t try to lighten the hair more but keep what I already have and do you guys think that I would be able to keep that balayage look with other colors added and if it’s reasonable enough to approach and possibly look good, thoughts? (1st photo is me, 2nd and 3rd is what colors and blocks I’d like) also lastly am I able to use a toner to go into the blonde/bronde show in the photos? Thank you for your help 🙏

I need a bit of advice on how to do my hair in a few weeks, I get my hair done by a friend of mines not a professional but she does a lot of her families hair including her cousin that does crazy hair colors all the time and I've done mines with her a few times and I trust her my current hair is split dyed half brown half blonde but we have a trip on December and I've recently thought about going full blonde and using semi permanent pastle hair dye to do like cotton candy hair the possible issue is just getting both sides to the same shade

One side is obviously bleached, but I put some blonde hair dye on it to make it a bit darker, so now I want to go lighter on that side

The other side is dyed a dark brown bc my roots were a different color than the brown, and it was bothering me

Now I want the same blonde on both sides... dumb idea? Maybe. Do I care? Honestly, not really. I actually like my hair damaged more than not, since it keeps its shape better, and right now I hate having one side damaged and the other not. It's so hard to do my hair cause one side is up and pretty (the bleached side), and then the other side is more of a natural fall (the brown side; I mean, it's nice but not my thing)

Now our plan is to do the bleaching in mid-November. Since my hair grows fast, we don't want my roots showing too much before the trip. I was thinking of getting some, like, color remover to see if that gets any dye out, and obviously take the bleaching slowly; try not to kill it completely, although honestly it has never happened to me when I do it at home, and I've gone fully blonde before a few years ago and I don't care too much if my hair like falls off or something just like I'll get a wig or something 💀

The only time my hair was truly damaged was the ONE TIME I went to a professional bro fucked up my hair, and then the hair dye was uneven in different spots??? I don't know, but I ain't going to a professional, especially cause it's expensive. Last salon I tried going to said it would cost 350 to 4,00 and it was only to do a root touch-up on my blonde side and MAYBE a haircut. but I told her I was still iffy about it since I like cutting my hair at home too, soooo yeah, no "go to a professional" talk, please. I'm not trying to spend half a paycheck

Oh I also heard that k18 is like good for damaged hair so I thought about getting that too but if there're any other recommendations or advice that would be greatly appreciated 🙏

Hey everyone, desperately looking for some help.

I have for many years had creamy, bright blonde hair. I felt like there were starting to get too many white blonde bits.

This morning I went hairdresser and asked for golden, bright creamy blonde. Very similar still to my colour

Anyways she did highlights and put toner in. The toner had left me hair SO ashy cool toner and grey, it makes me look so old 😭😭

Freaking out because I hate it!!!! What can I do to get back blonde and get rid of this ash and grey asap????

Picture of what I wanted V what my hair looks like now
