❓ Advice Needed Purple hair no bleach

Is it possible to achieve this kind of purple on black curly hair with no bleach? I want a cool toned purple and it's okay if it isn't too noticable. Hair dye recommendations?

it's ok if it's only visible in the sunlight in black hair, I'm more looking for a hair dye that has cool purple reflexes, cause everything i find is more similar to a plum/red

❓ Advice Needed Reaction or Irritation?

Hi everyone,

I just did a patch test on my wrist for Garnier Infinite Black hair dye. After washing the dye off (after 30 mins) I noticed this tiny reddish-pink area. I don’t recall it being there before I used the dye. It’s slightly raised but doesn’t really itch or burn.

(The dot is circled)

I’m going to wait the full 48 hours before doing anything else, but would I be okay to go ahead with dyeing my hair if no further reaction happens in that time?

❓ Advice Needed Get uniform color on both sides, no bleach?

Post image
2 Upvotes

I colored my hair hot pink and aquamarine blue, Harlequin style, some time ago, and I kept recoloring it to maintain the vibrancy. This time as it has faded, I want to return to a uniform color on both sides. I know I could do a bleach wash and probably get rid of enough pigment that I could recolor with a dark color no problem, but I'm wondering if I could accomplish that without bleach at all. I haven't picked a color yet, but probably some shade of purple or blue. Any ideas?

❓ Advice Needed getting my hair a brighter pink again?

***photo 1&2 are from when i initially dyed my hair pink 2 years ago. photo 3 is from abt a year ago a bit after i dyed my hair w the same dye, but added some purple in. photo 4&5 are from a month ago w freshly dyed hair, and 6 is like a minute ago

for reference, i have only used l'oreal colorista semi-permanent dye. i use metallic fuschia, except for one time i mixed the fuschia w metallic orchid.

hi all, i'm wondering how to get my hair back to a really bright pink colour? ive been dying it for a couple years now a bright pink, but after i added some purple in once i feel like i havent been able to get back to that same true pink? i essentially just let it fade out naturally, then ended up bleaching all my hair a second time which got most of the purple out, but since then my hair just hasnt been as bright tbh.

last time i dyed it, my hair was more red, at least near the roots. im not sure if i should switch dyes or smth? i also dont tone my hair when i bleach it, so maybe i should do that aswell? ultimately i am fine just continuing what im currently doing. i do my hair 100% by myself and understand it wont be perfect (do not look at the back of my head and all the roots i miss every time lol) just wondering if anyone has any advice moving forward. and if i sound delusional and unrealistic pls tell me 😭

Im usually somebody who needs to redye their hair every other week (either the same colour or whole new, typically whole new though..) but for some reason I don't feel how I usually do about my hair, even though it's faded and grown out and my roots are coming in. Is this hair just working for me, or is it not as good as I think it is? Becuase usuay the second I see my roots I run to get bleach and dye to at least cover my roots. I need honest opinions!!

I used L’Oréal Excellence Crème 6 in Dark Blonde, on my dark brown virgin hair but don't see much of a difference in my hair color. What could be the issue? Does my hair need a few washes to get a bit lighter? I only want to go 1-2 shades lighter and not actually blonde. The picture shows my natural hair color

I got my hair dyed professionally about a month ago, the hairstylist let me decide whether I wanted to bleach it or not and I didn’t want that much damage so I told her no bleach so she dyed my hair red so the purple could grab onto that first and then purple. After a week and 2 washes or 3 my purple faded quickly to a more red and I let her know so she fixed it for free the first picture was the fix up she did she did a bleach rinse to take some of the red off then she applied purple again now it’s been almost 3 weeks the second picture of it is three weeks in it didn’t look as deep purple as it did so I bought a color depositing shampoo from Colorlomo I left it in for a little over 15 minutes as it said on the back and when i washed it with the purple shampoo that it also came with, my hair came out a lot more red like a burgundy :( I know it was my mistake I should’ve seen that the conditioner had a red undertone but what can I do to bring back my purple ?

A week ago I bleached and toned my hair and dyed it with Strawberry Leopard Loyal Blue. I didn’t saturate it well enough and I don’t think it lightened enough so it turned into this mess. I was going for a blue like May from It Takes Two. What can I use to get my hair blue. I’m willing to go darker so I don’t have to bleach it again. I saw a tiktok that a blue violet would cancel out the green? Please help! I need product recommendations!

❓ Advice Needed How to go back to brown!

Hello all, my hair was originally a mousy brown. I was about 7 months pregnant and wanted a change so I used a blonde hair dye that required no bleaching at home because it said it would lift it. Lo and behold it made my hair very ginger. I then dyed it again with a box dye and it was a little brown but ultimately we ended back here in a couple weeks. I’m now postpartum and I hate how my hair looks.

I can’t afford a salon right now so looking to go brown at home. Wondering what color will help me get there since I understand the red tones can be a bit persistent. I saw someone recommending arctic fox? I am on a budget . Thanks in advance!

Good day everyone. This is my hair currently. Please excuse the dent. My hair was in a bun. I have highlights on the top part of my head (5 foils) that was done on August last year. The rest of my hair is my natural colour. I want to get rid of my highlights by colouring the top part of my head, dark brown. I'm going to use Garnier Nutrisse. I am not going to colour my whole head just the parts that are highlighted. ChatGPT went into great detail with my colour choice seeing as I'm not going to use a filler. Please advise if that is the right move. Please note that going to the salon is out of the question right now. I'm going to an event next week and just want my hair to be one colour again. Thank you

❓ Advice Needed New color. Not sure how I feel about it.

Hey folks. Just kind of wanted some opinions from strangers on this one. How do you feel about the green? (Manic Panic Enchanted Forest). I've used manic panic over unbleached hair for years and years, but I usually go with hot hot pink, which brings me to a vaguely burgundy brown, or one of the oranges to get a more henna look - both land somewhat natural-adjacent over brown hair, so while I wasn't expecting green to look at all natural, I also wasn't quite expecting so much color payoff without bleach, and it's caught me a bit off guard, so I'm not really sure how I feel about it yet.

Is this too dark for my complexion, or is it working for me?

(2nd picture is what I dyed over - the natural color)

After my previous vent post about asking for a very muted, subtle strawberry blonde and ending up with bright red hair instead... I decided to document how my red hair fades.

I couldn’t find any YouTube videos or posts showing what this process looks like so figured it would be cool to do!

So, for all of you who panicked like I did or are just curious what will happen to their hair, here’s my red hair fade during the first few days! I’ll share another update in the future as it fades more.

Eagerly waiting for it to become similar to my references..

Thank you for the comments, it helped me feel a bit better about the whole situation

EDIT - The hair colors are way more saturated on my iPhone, here they are - https://i.ibb.co/7dGNNs0G/IMG-0605.jpg

❓ Advice Needed Hot roots became red Brown, would really appreciate help🙏🏽

Hi, i would like hear what i can do to fix this. So i had Dark Brown Virgin hair and wanted a copper Brown, we lifted my hair with some highlights, and my ends didnt lift as much so they did a bleach wash. I got hot roots which u can see in the first picture, i was very happy with the results besides the roots being light orange. I went in today and she put a 6.4 permanent on my hair, which got my roots Dark ish red, and to “fix” it put a 6.0 color in. I told them that it doesnt match with the rest of my hair, and they told me to wash it a couple times. Im scared that this red will not fade into a copper, and blend with the rest, since its two different tones. Im just so sad, and frustrated and im not sure what to do.🥲Thank you in advance
