what color do you guys recommend?

WORTH IT?: yes
Natural Hair type: fine and straight/slightly wavy

Hair History: dyed quite a bit hmm not really sure exactly how many times but its between 5-10 tried corn perm once too which damaged my hair really bad omg would never do that again..


these aren't all my colour changes but just the more recent ones, i'll comment below on the most recent one..

Hair color Before: natural black hair on top and dyed hair on the bottom
Hair color After: medium-light chestnut brown colour (looks more red/orangey in the pic but its more brown in person)
Bleach?: no
Hair Dye: Palty - Milk Tea Tart
Price: 219TWD which is about $11NZD and $6.50USD
Changes:
- Damage? it doesn't seem like it, my hair feels quite smooth which is great! normally when I dye my hair myself my hair feels coarse afterwards (mar 2008 pic shows a dark colour which i dyed myself, i'm not sure if you can tell but my hair looks quite coarse here =|)
- Texture change? none that i can tell
Description: just slathered it all over my hair and left it in for 45mins

WORTH IT?: Yup.
Natural Hair type: Straight with the occasional waves and poofs.
Hair History: Highlighted like 3 times and dyed 3 times.
Hair color Before:

This is the only picture I have before I dyed my hair. = w=;
Hair color After:

^ First time: Used Vanilla beige on virgin hair. Didn't turn out that light. dx

^ Second time: Honey Brown.
Bleach?: Nope.
Hair Dye: First time : Palty - Vanilla Beige (2 boxes) Second time : Palty - Honey Brown (1 box)
Price: I bought the dyes for $7.99 each so it would be around $24 total?
Changes: It's a little damaged now, but that always happens when you dye hair. My hair seems less course and it's not poofy anymore!
Description: - I applied the hair dye, and then put a plastic shower cap on it. I blowdried on top of the cap and inside for a while, then I stopped. I left the dye on for about 40 minutes.
Comments: - I really like the result of the 2nd time I dyed it.

Looking at your picture i suggest

EXTREME DIFFERENCE:
- light ash brown
- dark blonde
- strawberry blonde

LITTLE DIFFERENCE
- Red auburn
- Golden brown
- chocolate brown
- chestnut brown
- Medium burgundy
- Mocha Brown
- DO NOT DO DARK BROWN!!!! IT COMES OUT BLACK!!
well at least it did for me :[ waste of 60$

TINT DIFFEERENCE
- violet brown (i had it before )
- dark auburn (reddish brown)
- dark burgundy
- Cherry black (pruple/reddish black)
- cherry coke (purple brown)

^ you would pretty much look good in ANY of these!
LUCCKY YOU!! ^___~
hope i helped



Why don't you just go to the salon.

if your failing that get Garnier 100%
it's not asian brand, but my friend is korean dyed her hair
with RUBY RED GARNNIER 100%
it lasted 3-6 months i think
it faded on the last two months to a nice
red orange.
it has to say 100%
get the bleach to it lasts longer and gives u a rich color.

but do go to a salon if you can (healthier)

WORTH IT?: - YES!
Natural Hair type: Thick and curly black hair (yeah it does suck lol.)
Hair History: I used to thermally recondition my hair but it's too costly and now I just flat-iron and color.
Hair color Before: Lightened slightly to a dark brown.
Hair color After: Gold lol.
Bleach?: Yes
Hair Dye: Palty gold bleach
Price: around $15 on ebay with s+h
Changes: My hair is a little drier and fluffier but my curls look nicer than before and they are easier to flat-iron.
Description: I had my hair professionally done light brown but I wanted to stop paying so much to get my hair colored so I ordered some palty and used it on my roots but I had to use it a week later because my hair is really stubborn and I really liked how light my hair came out the second time. After I apply the bleach I wrap my head in saran wrap and put a towel over my head.
Comments: I'm really happy with my hair color and I am going to continue to use palty's gold bleach because the salon I went to charges around $90ish for a color job T_T I also recommend getting 2 packages of hair color because palty didn't give me enough to cover my whole head :/

Oh. And I need to dye my roots

Updating my post...I had a question since I was hesitant about dying my hair but I ended up just dying it anyway. XD

Say you dyed your hair, and you don't like the color. How long would it take before dying it once again, but without completely killing your hair?

I've always dyed my hair in 3~6month intervals.
I just bought this dye that has bleach in it, and I've been kind of iffy about it... I'm afraid I'll look bad with light hair.

my friends mom is a hairdresser
she said 3 months

BEFORE: I couldn't find a full face picture that didn't have flash. My hair is dyed here btw (french roast) but you can't tell!! )':

AFTER: It's okay looking, but I don't think it's too natural... (no flash)

ADVICE ADVICE ADVICE PLEASE! so today I decided to go and TRY dying my hair by a professional for the first time of my life.. BIG BIG MISTAKE! I got recommended to go to a family friend's salon.. I asked for a medium/dark brown something that's NATURAL looking but at the same time noticeable.. BUT OF COURSE something had to go wrong.. instead I got a medium/light brown that looks almost orange WHICH is what I was afraid of.. ORANGE! Not only did I spend $60 on a color I HATE but I ALSO GOT A BAD HAIRCUT! the guy trimmed my hair WAY TOO THIN.. MY hair looks bad thin. now I'm worried because I work at a bank and this color isn't professional. WHAT CAN I DO!?!? I know re-dying it so quick is going to damage my hair.. I wouldn't want that.. will washing my hair fade the color faster?

I know these pictures might make the color look nice but that's only because of the lighting


here's a color similar to mine

You should go back and have them fix it or get a refund since you didn't like they cut your hair... idk if it's took late to do that but you can try and it doesn't look orange

Since your hair went lighter,it would only fade lighter is that what you even mean? washing your hair to fade color would end up damaging your hair and if you dyed your hair a darker color it wouldn't be that damaging compared to dying it a lighter color.

WORTH IT : Yes.
Natural Hair type : Fine & Medium Long.
Hair color Before : Ash Blond
Hair color After : Golden Brown
Bleach : Yes.
Hair Dye : Clairol
Price : 8.00$
Changes : Same. Looks Dry. But Really Smooth.
Comments : I Love It.

Before. After.

I'd always wanted to dye my hair but never got the chance to because of my parents.

So, what happens when mother dearest is out of town for the weekend, and father dear has to work overtime on Saturday?

>:D

WORTH IT?: Yeah!
Natural Hair type: Fine/straight/medium length
Hair History: Virgin hair.
Hair color Before: Dark brown/black with natural medium brown highlights.
Hair color After: Dark ashy brown with medium brown highlights.
Bleach?: Nope.
Hair Dye: Revlon Colorsilk in 40 Medium Ash Brown

Price: $2.97 @ Walmart
Changes: My hair was softer and smoother after dying it :O! And the dye claims to "leave your hair in better condition than before you colored".
Description: I followed the included instructions, but left it in for about 30 minutes instead of the suggested 25 minutes. Not much of a difference but oh well. There's no funky ammonia smell, and my hair smells really good after. Also, it was the most inexpensive hair dye I found at Walmart, but it works great!
Comments: After blow drying my hair, I was like, "... no difference? WASTE OF $3 D:<!" But I compared my before and after pictures, and noticed that even though the difference was subtle, I really liked it. No one could really tell if I hadn't told them, but basically, the dye had only changed the tones in my hair. It went from a reddish brown to ash brown. In some lighting, my hair looks like a natural black, which is something I had wanted before, but in sunlight, you can really see the greyish undertones. Seeing that at the moment, I was really looking for a light ash brown color [like Palty Jewelry Ash or Milk Tea Brown], I was a bit disappointed at first and felt like I should've left it in for maybe 45 minutes or bleached it first, but now I like the subtle change =) It means I won't get whooped by my mama x___x


Before --> After
I didn't have make up on in the before pic, so that explains the difference in my skintone. It's not a change in lighting =X

I'll definitely update after a week or so to see if it has faded.

WORTH IT?: kind of.. I like my old hair better, but this looks more natural since I'm meeting my grandpa for the first time in a few weeks! I wanna make a good impression on him =)

Do you guys think blond would fit me ?
if yes, any shade recommendations ?
my hair right now is brown (2nd pic) with red highlights (first pic).



(sorry for the red-ish tint, my hair mostly appears that color in the sun because of the highlights but it's a bit more brown)

not alot of guys dye their hair huh?

I have a question from all the veteran dye-ers XD.

Im thinking of dyeing my hair brown for the first time soon, however, the only worry of mine is that, I have dry hair because I always dry+hot iron it whenever i go out (if i dont itll be all weird and poofy) so I'm just scared that this+dyeing would completely ruin/damage my hair (but i do those hair treatment things to remedy the abuse, if i may say so).

Would it? :s

Thankyou so much <3

MissBoAngel.. I think blonde would fit you. You have an edgy look so it wouldn't look awkward if you went blonde

my mom doesn't want me to dye my hair...
but she does it to hide her white hair HAHA~;;;

what kind of bleach brand should i use to achieve that blonde? because i really want some teal or turquoise blue highlights up in my hur.

(lol no makeup..)

I was thinking about going blonde during the summer...
Do you think it would suit me? x_x" ?

^ yeah i think it would be rather cute if you kept up with dying the roots (some people can pass without) and kept your haircut clean and sharp (you know edgy..)

Alright so I have a pressing question that I need answers to quickly...

This sounds very stupid, but can you keep leftover hair dye for later uses?
I didn't mix the entire contents, I still have developer left in the bottle and the hair dye cream in a separate tube.
I heard things about how it can explode or something, but other people said they kept it and re-used it and nothing happened.
I don't really understand how it would explode, but I would like to keep it for when my streaks fade out and to touch them up.

[im n da centered]
okies, my first blonde attempt.
i bought it at a local store.
jux basic bleach for dying, i guess.
it wuz a brand dat started wid a "c" but forgot wat it wuz called.
yeah... my hair wuz realli damaged after dis.
obviously, i didnt get all my roots so it looked weird


dis wuz after my hair wuz blonde.
i loved the color though!
i dyed it dis color becuz my roots started to grow n it started to look awkward on my head.
by now my hair is pretttie damaged wid all the bleach.
but by now it wuznt as damaged as it wuz when i bleached it for da blonde..


ATTEMPT NUMBA TWOO.
dis time around my sister dyed my hair blonde.
it wuz much better, becuz i got all my roots.
although it hurt like a B*TCHH.
becuz the bleach burns ur head..
aniwaiseee yea, my hair wuz very damaged.
i had to condition it b4 i went to bed.
n it wuz realli hard to keep up wid.
also i thought my hair wuz gonna fall out ahah
[but it didnt ]


well then i dyed it a red.
but it looks like a brown...>.>


okies, if u look closely at the bottom of my hair,
i retouched it wid blonde bottoms.
so it wuz red/brown wid blonde at the bottom.


THEN FINALLY.
i dyed it like a burgundy but it looks like black.
i havent dyed my hair since then.
but now my hair looks like a light brown.

i hate my hair..
it alwaise fades into a brown,
no matter wat color i dye it, except blonde. D

current:


aniwaiseee SRY FOR DA BIG PICTASSS!

I was just wondering...

If I have black asian hair, do I need to bleach it first before I dye it? Because I was planning on using palty this summer... does palty hair dye already have bleach in it, or will it come out looking no different as my original hair colour? ;_;

Sorry, I'm such a noob :C

^ I think it depends on what color hair you're trying to achieve.. and what box you're using for palty.. If you want a color like, really light brown, its probably better to bleach.

I dyed my hair on new years (dark natural brown) and now my regrowths are 8-10cm !

QUESTION: Should i dye the roots/colour it (full head) again/just leave it naturally?

recycled images~


okay so i've attempted the light brown hair color a couple of times.
and well its not working T.T
for my current hair color do you guys think i can try a blonde hair dye and just leave it in
for 10-15 mins and it'll be the light brown color like hers?

Yes I did and it looks amaaaaazing.
This was the first color I ever dyed my hair and it was during the summer. The color just pops and it looks incredible.
I recommend it.





NO.
NO NO NO NO NOOOOO.

I cannot stress the no-ness of my answer enough. In order to lighten your hair you need to strip it of color, a bleach box dye will only make your hair look ORANGE. It will not fade it, that is not what generally happens especially if it is already color-treated. You need to go find a hair box dye specifically designed to lighten dark hair.

Or, you can just go with the smart choice and have a professional stylist lighten your hair. They have the right materials and training to do what you want them to.
I would suggest you take a look around at several places and try to find someone who specializes in hair color.

^ thanks XD saved me from a disaster

Has anyone ever tried Garnier N. in Chocolate Almond hair dye?
I have dark black hair, I want brown >___>

hey Demy, do you know which brand sells black purply hair dye?
i dyed my hair deep burgandy- thinking it was purple and it turned out red
thanks !

Hey girls !

Hum... I see your pictures and some of your hair is really beautiful but
most of you didn't bleach their hair before dying and we can see the colour on your hair !
How do you do ? Because I've dyed my hair with this :



and I can't see the colour on my hair

So, if someone can help me
(sorry for my poor english :X)

Karolyn, I'm not familiar with that particular dye, but if it's only a semi-permanent one and your hair is darker than that then you're going to have to bleach/lighten your hair before you can get that to show up. Semi-permanent dyes just deposit the color on top of your hair so if you have darker hair than that it won't show up.

Has anyone tried the Superior Prefrence line by L'oreal?

I have this friend who dyes her hair at home by herself and she has terrible hair. They look like straw sticking out of her head and it's gross. How come that happens to her but not anyone else??

^
Maybe she dyes her hair too much, and doesnt take care of her hair?
And not using conditioner?
Eh, who knows. >_>
