0 Upvotes

i’ve been seeing milk tea hair everywhere and i wanna give it a shot at home. i think i don’t want it too light tho and defo not blonde.

i have virgin roots (dark black), and medium brown ends that are kinda reddish not really (box dyed a year ago)

what would happen if i just bought blond box dye and put that over my hair. would it turn brown? what if i put light brown box dye?

I made this vision board to show my stylist but everyone I show says they're confused by it so now I'm kinda afraid to show them TT

Is there any way to get my new hair dye to fade faster?

Hi all. I got my hair colored yesterday like this. Last photo is the reference. I don’t love the way it looks on me especially because the top is so dark. I have fair skin with pink undertones with blue eyes. I did mention to the stylist that I’m concerned it would be too dark and that I would be ok going lighter even if it wouldn’t look like the photo. She assured me it would be fine and that warm blonde would look better on me than cool blonde. Well I don’t think that’s true after all. I currently feel like my looks give a morticia addams vibe and that’s totally not what I was going for, lol. I was trying to lighten my hair a bit for the summer and just do something different. Previously I had just brown hair about a level 6. This is a level 4. I also don’t like how red-ish the bottoms look but that’s another story. Is there anything I can do to make it lighter/fade quicker? I currently don’t want to leave my house because I’m embarrassed.

Hi all! I was hoping you’d be able to settle the debate we’ve been having in our household!

What color would you say my natural hair is?!

I'm a bit worried that ginger would look too intense (I don't have much contrast on my face) or look bad with my red acne scars ✨

Help Selecting Hair Dye

1 Upvotes

Hello,

I've wanted to try going very dark for awhile now, but don't want it to be permanent or to not be able to bleach it in the future if I decide dark isn't for me. At first I tried finding a black, but it seems my best bet is finding the darkest brown possible to avoid fading into purple or blue, or a weird color after a bleach lift. I'm not interested in bleaching my hair any time soon, but I've gone blonde before and want to have the ability to go blonde in the future without having to grow my hair out completely again.

Does anyone know of a good semi-permanent very dark brown that will let me see if I like the dark color, but can fade completely out if I decide it's not for me? My current hair color I was told is a level 7 blonde, but to me it just looks brown, if not a medium ashy brown. If I like the color, I plan to just stick to it and touch it up every month or so as I was told semi-permanent does no damage, and the maintenance required is worth the hair health to me. My sister is an aesthetician and is able to get professional dye, so things sold at cosmoprof would be ideal!

Thank you for any advice you are able to give c: I appreciate it!

Want to go peach next

I had blue Arctic fox on this piece this winter but since have been putting vivid pink on top for the last 4 months. Usually it’ll hang onto the latest color and I was expecting it to fade straight pink but it’s been consistently fading purple/blue on the ends where it’s much more porous. I wanted to go a peachy pink instead of purple, but I cannot get this blue to shift. I would rather not use anything on it that’ll make it more porous. Been using clarifying shampoo and hot water to get most of the color out.

Do you think if I put a yellowy orange on the blue, it’ll neutralize it enough where I can then go over it with orangey pink? I’m trying to color theory my way to my end goal.

Or do I just let it ride like this a while longer, since I want to do rainbow for Pride Month coming up.

I'd need a product to cover grey hair

1 Upvotes

So my mom started to get grey hair but now she's on the black to yellow to grey stage and she'd like to cover the yellows to look nice.

She tried the Kallos purple shampoo and didn't work. Also tried a Pallete ashy blonde toner with very little effect on her yellow parts. She tried a purple semi permanent dye but didn't stick on the grey hair for obvious reasons.

We will not use the permanent grey blinde dyes on the market as we know the black parts will get orange. We also can't afford a salon atm.

We'd like some advice on what products will actually work well and stick to the grey hair. If it can also give a subtle purple shade then it will be perfect!

hii, im trying to dye my hair this color! for context, im asian and my hair is just jet black, but i got highlights around 4 months ago and then dyed them my entire head red with box dye. the red doesn’t really show on my black hair at all, so basically i have red highlights. theyve faded to a brassy brown so im looking for a change, but im not too sure what effect hair dye would have on my highlights compared to the rest of my hair! if you could give me some insight id really appreciate it! i was thinking of using loreal hicolor cuz i dont really wanna bleach my entire head. any thoughts?

Pink hair recommendations?

The last photo is of my hair around 2 weeks ago, it was manic panic hot hot pink and it faded very quickly ( though I was washing it a lot and using heat). Does anyone have any recommendations to get the first 2 pics colors? Manic panic was too red for my liking, I’ve only been able to find either very pale pinks or hot pinks and I’m looking for something a bit more in the middle.

Looking for a good liquid leave in conditioner

1 Upvotes

I'm looking for a good moisturizing hair mist but every time I try one it's a mist pump but a thick conditioner that comes out in spurts instead of a fine mist. Any recommendations on good liquid leave in that actually comes out in a fine mist?
