Before: This is my virgin hair


After


After again:


And I just dyed it again last thurs:

WORTH IT?: until my roots grow out drastically, yes.
Natural Hair type: straight & somewhat thick
Hair History: - Dyed 10+ times


I went from black, to very unnoticeable blonde streaks (just to start out, I was like, 11), then to a brownish colour, then this colour. The blonde streaks cost me $120 (NOT worth it), and this cost me $50, which was an alright price, and my hair was still healthy and what not.


Then I went to this, I LOVED it! Bleach, yes. Cost me another good $120 but it was actually so worth it, because they dyed it two different colours.


From a faded blonde to this, I did it at home, I think I used L'Oreal or something like that, and it was like like $10, it was worth it.


To... this again, ; $60, eeeeeenh, I'm not sure, my hair grows fast so dying it is a waste all in all. Bleach, yes.


Dyed it yesterday, some Natural Instincts golden shade, it didn't do away with the streaks but the box was $10, it did its job.

Changes: My hair was only damaged after the bleaching.
Comments: - Well, for the $10 bottle dyes that you do at home, they were obviously worth it because nothing went wrong and they weren't expensive anyway, but the only salon one I found truly worth it was the first time I bleached my hair. It looked great and took about a year to actually fade to a dark brown.

__EDIT

In between all those significant dyes, I dyed my hair A LOT trying to make the shade brighter and what not, and it never really worked, so I have actually dyed my hair way more than 10 times.

Hey, I have a question about semi-permanent dye...

So I had my hair bleached and then semi-permanent dye/hair stain on top of that (turquoise & purple to be exact). It's been about 3-4 weeks so the colour is starting to go back to the original blonde colour. I wanna re-bleach that part of my hair so that it's just bleach blonde w/o any colour.

Question is... is it okay to bleach on top of the fading semi-permanent dye? Or should I just wait until it's completely washed out?

thanks <3

To P0TAT0;
I would wait it out
&& rebleaching so soon, is to much for your hair to handle

what color is that??
i like it... are you naturally pale or tanned?
lol

that's gorgeous (you are too!)
one or two boxes for your hair length?

Im naturally really pale I love my white skin
the color is really light brown. not really sure what I can tell you
my stylist did it for me and she said she used a really strong peroxide to bleach me out.

ooooops

deleted~

you're so pretttyy..
the light brown looks really good on you.
i've only tried for that shade, but i haven't bleached my hair yet so it never comes out as light..

i like the third one best!
it looks great though each and every one of them
n______n
i'm kinda scared to dye my hair... the roots and maintaining seems like a hassle and embarrassing if i try to grow my natural color out.

Off topic but I think you're really hot.

hahaa youre so sweet, thank you ^

Thanks guys!

Rowie, yeah roots are always gonna grow out but its ok, i let my roots grow out sometimes too. If you look at the picture of me with my ringpop, you can see my roots ahah It adds a little contrast

what volume bleach should i use to bleach my hair now ? the orangish blond part. or can i just use something like clairol born blonde maxi ? will one session be enough to get it a light blond color ? i've never separately bleached it before so i'm a bit confuzzled. xD

Kiddo- noo my hair isnt naturally curly hehe I have really straight hair

FOREVERWITHYOU- Those fabulous curls were done by my fabulous hair stylist haha

Oooh I really like the burgundy on you with that hairstyle. Very nice. My roomie usually dies her hair in the red range too.. and it eventually turns orange.

Sophbot: I love your hair, color and curls! (: So pretty. I think the haircolor in the last pic is the best. Wish I could die my hair that color.

MushroomPinay: Your hair color is soooo interesting! I'm sure you get alot of questions about it. I think it turned out nice and even b/c it's straight down the middle.

mm.. i'll post pics of my hair soon
[edit]

Okay here's when I first highlighted my hair. It was very subtle... I only got the top layer done. I didnt want anything too drastic since it was the first time I dyed my hair. So it was just a caramel color on the top layer. And the next picture is when I highlighted it a 3rd time to cover the roots, etc. It turned out alot blonder than what I started with, and it had more streaks.


Last year, I got tired of the blond highlights and how it would turn out orange, so I dyed it all blue-black at home. Then a couple of weeks later, my blonds started showing through. :/ And the last time I dyed my hair was during the Thanksgiving holidays, so it's now a medium-brown...

aw thank you ^.^
yes most people ask how i got it really even lol
thanks very much though ^.^

Sophbot: Wooow, your hair is soo nice >w<!! I love the color! Did you bleach it before hand? What color is it? Gahh, it's so nice +_+

Comments:
I love my hair more than ever now. I don't think I'll have a darker hair color for a very long time. If you are going to bleach your hair I'm going to ask/beg you go and see a professional hair stylist. They'll know what color will look best on you, and they should choose products that won't damage your hair. It's more expensive than doing it at home, but it's a lot easier than doing it yourself and having it turn yellow/orange/random color you don't want and having to go to the salon to get it fixed anyways.

Before

I'm probably a minority here, but I think you looked best with black hair. It makes you look a lot younger and sweet.

sort of off topic, but i was wondering if your hair is naturally like that?
like, the natural soft waves in your hair? i think your hair is extremely
cute the way it is. (: it suits you well.

I think my stylist bleached it
i really cant tell you what color it is because i just told her to make me lighter and she did it
LOL
i trust my stylist

Anhyi- haha i look young with darker hair because in that pic i was only 17 !
I do miss my dark hair sometimes tho =[

I've dyed my own hair for like more than 10 times I think.... or less
Hair Dying Kits I used are Kolours and Revlon Colorsilk, most of the colors show up really well. I've never bleached my own hair.

Its just that I don't get the exact color shown on the box.. like my latest hair color..

It's suppose to be light ash brown.. but its not ash brown at all >.<

wow oyen, LOVE YOUR CURRENT COLOR

edited
- usless posttt XD >< -
sorry D=

can i ask what you used exactly and what color was your hair before.. i want this color its sooo pretty!

When you guys dye your hair, do you change your make up shades/color too? I find now that my hair is light brown...its a bit harsh looking and odd to use black eye liner like i once did with my black hair...any recommendations for what shades i should start using>?

To Oyen:
I really really love love love your hair color.. it looks so good, shiny on you even love your hair cut.
Can you plz tell me wats exactly the name of the color?
And also the one in this pic which i found in your blog too , http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_-qrHB9xb1n8/SXk5...s1600-h/av4.jpg

I just adore all your hair colors <3
And when will the color actually fade and show the roots ? Do you use a particular shampoo for dyed hair?

I really like your current hair color oyen.
Which brand/color did you use?

I have a question you guys! T______T
i recently dyed my hair & the TOP half of my hair is lighter then the bottom half.. does anyone know why that is?
&& is there a way i can fix it? can i just REDYE the bottom part again? will it turn lighter?

I don't really change my makeup shades except for the color of my eyebrow pencil. You want to make sure your eyebrows are only one shade darker than your hair color. You could use a brown eyeliner or you can still use a black eyeliner but use a lighter shade (since there are different shades of brown and black).


Your hair on top is "virgin hair" so the stuff that wasn't dyed and the bottom half is probably what you had dyed before and it's just grown out to the bottom. I would recommend seeing an actual hairstylist to fix it because when you dyed your hair there should have been a filler color put in so that it would all be one color at the end.
