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

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.

should I go ginger (this is visualization)
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 ✨

I need color theory help!! What should I do? Open to almost anything. 💕
I recently dyed my hair with AgeBeautiful 7RC Strawberry Blonde and Good Dye Young Burgundy for a money piece color. I haven’t dyed my hair in many years and I was largely working with virgin dark blonde hair. I gave birth over a year ago and I feel like my hair has gotten to be a slightly darker blonde bordering on brunette, and a bit uneven in color shortly after this photo was taken. I wanted a change to even it out.
I don’t know much about hair dye, I didn’t bleach my hair, but I’m not super happy with how it turned out. I dyed it two weeks ago.
What should I do? I’m stuck between wanting to be a blonde again, or going brunette. I don’t want to go much darker, but I’m open to any other color options.

Help Selecting Hair Dye
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!

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.

Blonde journey and Brad Mondo’s butterfly cut
Started with a Garnier box dye, didn’t lighten as much as I had wanted. Next day went to Sally’s and picked up Wella Color Charm lightener and had to bleach twice within 4 days and used t19 both times. Then went in with lowlights with a 7N and hand-painted them. Fucked up a bit the first time I did the lowlights by myself and left stripes and spots on the top. Then recruited my husband to help even it out a few days later. Also decided to do the butterfly cut on myself on the spur of a moment decision. It’s been quite a 2 week journey with lots of help from my husband and never imagined going back to blonde but I am happier than I thought!

What toner to match my ends
Hi!
I want to throw in a few highlights myself to get rid of the harsh line.
I want the highlights to match my current vanilla butter blonde colour which I love. What Wella toner should I go for?
I got my hair done back in September 2024

I gave up on pastel pink for now. Here is my new color!
I recently posted asking for advice on how to get my hair more white so I could go pastel pink. I appreciate the advice I got, it was so helpful… but then I was going through something and Sally Beauty didn’t sell Adore hair color and in a borderline breakdown I said fuck it and got Arctic Fox virgin pink and diluted it with conditioner. I added too much hair dye and ended up with a more vibrant color, but I actually love it and I’m hoping it will fade to a soft pink. :) The last two photos are of the blonde I applied it to.

Pink dye over brown hair - a pipe dream?
(UK) I've been dying my hair pink for over 10 years and using various dyes (crazy colour, directions, live, and currently Colour Freedom), and have been bleaching it for just as long. Despite this it's really not that damaged as I never bleach over the bleached parts itself!
Though more recently my hair's been having a bit of a tantrum after bleaching, getting dry and squeaky after shampooing etc so i'm not sure how many bleaching sessions it has left in it!
Any chance that in these 10 years we've invented a pink dye that will go over my natural medium-brown hair so I can skip the bleach entirely? Pink is essentially my natural hair colour I don't feel like myself without it 😭

What hair colour would suit me?
I was originally hoping to get a change from the black. I was debating on pink or purple but I got my hair badly bleached professionally the other day and my hair is now orangey brown while the roots are platinum blonde (last pic, looks worse irl) so now I'm considering just going for black with lilac ghost roots but at the same time I want a change from the black but idk what other options I have so idk 😭 Opinions?

Bleaching over direct dye?
So I have currently deep brown hair that's been bleached twice to enable purple direct dye over it... but I have come to notice the purple isn't as bright as I'd like it to be because the hair it was applied on was not light enough.
On other word there's too much copper/red pigment left in the hair.
Will my hair melt if I bleach over the purple direct dye in order to get rid of the copper? (It's fine if the purple remains, since I plan on reapplying it anyway)

Is 2 years enough to wait between permanent straightening and bleaching?
Reading posts on r/HaircareScience and other subreddits, I couldn't quite find an answer.
More details below:
I got my hair permanently straightened 2 years ago, and for what it's worth it hasn't lasted and is no longer straight anyway. I have naturally black (I'm south asian) hair, and want to go a pretty light warm blonde, but I'm worried the chemicals from the straightening treatment might break my hair. I remember when I got it done, I was told it wasn't just a keratin treatment, as it was meant to be permanent but did have keratin in it.
Any professionals know if this would be bad idea or should I suck it up and wait a few more years before I can bleach it?

Permanent over semi-permanent?
My hair is currently Artic Fox Purple AF over a mousy milk chocolate-ish brown with some greys. It's really lovely, but have a fancy trip at the end of the month, and don't particularly want purple hair. Can put a darker brown over the top?

How to apply color oops to base only ?
Hi, I recently had a massive fail at the hair salon. She did bayalage with warm tones and tried to color my base copper, but it went very dark red at the base so she tried to fix it with a dark brown cover-up under a heating lamp and basically it was a massive fail. The crown of my head was a dark brown black cherry, and the rest of my hair looked like a typical brunette with blonde strips . Her only advice was to use dandruff shampoo mixed with baking soda for 10 days and I've been trying that and was able to remove some of the dark brown so now it's just the red popping out at the roots. I'm looking into color oops I have a box but I'm scared to use it. Can anyone advise how to accurately apply it to only the base roots and the hairline without getting it on the bottom through the strands. I don't wanna even touch most of the hair just the base . Also, does anyone have a prediction for what color might be left underneath once I remove the dark red? My natural hair color is brown. I don't think there was any lifting done before she applied it. Thank you!
