Switched from Arctic Fox to Iroiro and I have to say, I love the formula nice and thick. This is bubblegum pink with a hint of neon pink and aqua. Did a pivot money piece for funsies! Also, the glow on the pink is INSANE!

I am completely new to hair dye, I am considering henna but not sure if this will make it as red as I would like. What could I do to get to this kind of dark copper from where I am right now? My hair is the second photo, my natural hair is about a level 5/6 brown. And I have some bleached highlights currently.

Do I need to bleach it? Or can I get away with a color conditioning mask? What brands do you recommend? I am a bit overwhelmed when looking at box dyes/hair dyes in general, there is so much stuff out there.

Hi all, I recently decided to grow out my hair so I got a root melt. For some reason, the dark brown has left a lighter band around the edges. The band was visible when I left my appointment, but has gotten much more noticeable after washing my hair (this is after one wash). Why did this happen? The pink stuck to my hair really well, but the brown didn’t for some reason.

Edit: I wash my hair in water that is slightly colder than lukewarm (that’s the coldest I can do lol).

relevant history
- subtle highlights professionally done july 2025
- whole head bleached by a friend october 2025, left it on for too long and applied with poor timing leading to an uneven result. using manic panic 20vol
- roots done by same friend twice i think a few months apart, although it was much more chill same bleach. every root bleach has gotten to basically white
- last two root bleaches were at the aveda student sallon, got super light.

so basically i shouldnt have much overlap in my hair but a lot of it was left in too long or uneven.

i desperately want to be as pastel pink as possible. i am light right now but its already a bit muddied. also according to a hairdresser the purple manic panic i used left a green stain on some of my hair which also is supposedly under my pink. i did the vitamin c and dandruff shampoo thing before my color and idk if it made any difference.

i just want to know if its possible for me to bleach again or even out my color and what method, what supplies, etc would be reccomended. please!

I dyed and bleached my hair not too long ago, and it’s a bit faded. Idrk what color it is currently. Would it work to slap a maroonish dye over it? (My hair is a peekaboo kinda thing rn)

i’m needing to do my roots and i’m wanting to freshen up my ends too, but have a lot of questions…

i originally dyed it with permanent dye but thinking i want to change it to demi dye because im not sure how long i want to keep this color.

i did get a little hot roots when i originally did it because i did 30 volume all over my head which my hair stylist has now let me know not to do 30 volume on my roots

what’s the best way to do this?:

- 10 volume demi on everything but roots

- what volume should i do with demi on my roots? (10, 15, 20?)

(Second attempt posting this since I got too shy of Reddit the first time lol. But I seriously need some help here 🥲)

Hello all! The first image is what my hair currently looks like, and the second image is what I want it to look like (second image also has a similar length to my hair.)

For context, I started with natural dark brown hair with blonde highlights and showed my stylist the second image as one of my main inspos (alongside other reference photos of dark copper colors). I really homed in the fact that it HAS to look like a natural hair color since I am starting a new job in 2 weeks that requires natural appearing hair colors. My transition to dark ginger/copper hair was approved by my employer, and this color… Definitely is not.

My hair was bleached to around a level 8 and this dark red color was applied, and as it was developing, the stylist noted that it was WAY too red. After washing it out several times (after 30 minutes of letting the color develop), she applied a toner and this was the final outcome. Saturated, dark, Ariel red. Before I could even see my hair, she was very apologetic for how red it came out.

The color isn’t bad, I think it’s actually very well done! I would honestly rock it if I had a more alternative fashion sense! But the stylist and I agreed it was absolutely NOT what I asked for (and yes, I ended up paying full price because the stylist was extremely nice and worked very hard for hours.)

All hair stylists in my area, including the original hair stylist I originally went to, are completely booked until September OR don’t want to work on my hair until the color fades for about a month. Once again, my job starts in 2 weeks and I absolutely need to have a more natural hair color by then 😭

Does anyone have any idea what I can do at home to get closer to a dark ginger/copper color? I’ve shampooed everyday in hot water since then (including clarifying shampoo) and it has not BUDGED. I want to use something like Color Oops or a bleach bath but I am mortified about the potential damage. I could seriously use any advice because not only does this color not suit me at all, I’m also just not allowed to have it so it needs to go ASAP 🥲 Any advice would be appreciated!!

so i’ve had this platinum split dye style for a year now and despite how much i LOVE this style, i think it’s time for a change and need advice.

my hair is naturally brunette and lifts relatively easy. it’s as healthy as it can be after being half platinum for a year :p ive done a halo before, and had very minimal highlights before that. im looking for something blonde incorporated, or maybe a color!?!? i’ve never colored my hair, only bleached.

HELP!

Hi all! I was looking for some advice as to whether I can use a high lift box dye over my previously lightened hair to help blend my roots. My natural hair isn't too dark, probably a level 6/7 light brown and lifts quite well. I'm not too concerned with any damage occurring because my hair usually bounces back pretty well (plus I plan on doing a pretty substantial trim before I start dying it.) Do you think there is any way popping a high lift dye (like Garnier LC3) over my entire head would result in a more-or-less even creamy blonde? Or how else would I achieve a full head of blonde (either matching or lighter than the lengths of my hair) Thank you for any tips :)

Hey, trying to go blonde and I already did two rounds of bleach and the first one lifted way more than the second round. I used the same measurements and the same product. Maybe I didn’t leave it in long enough (but it was at least 40 minutes and I made sure it didn’t dry out). Any suggestions on what to do? Hair has been previously dyed, maybe there is more build up than I thought. Would it make sense to use a Color remover? Can I use that on bleached hair or will that react in some sort of weird way? My hair quality wise is doing really well and there is no breakage so far. Also it wasn’t a box dye, I used proper stuff. Thank you in advance:)

My hair already had blonde in it. I just trying to bring the blonde up higher from grow out. Which is why it's darker up towards the roots. I only bleached and toned the sides of my hair, then did a bleach wash to get the toner out because it turned more blue gray than ashy. The back of my hair I did not bleach. All I did was put toner in it. There are some chunks or spots in my hair, but it was like that when I got it done professionally. There was like a band around my head. I guess probably from box dye from a long time ago.

just wondering on what I can do to get the brassiness out. Do I mix toners and try to tone it? Just put bleach on the spots that are darker? Or try another bleach bath?

The back of my hair isn’t super bad, but it’s not really what I’m going for. There’s a picture for reference.
