Genie in Limecrime Unicorn Hair (full coverage)

Ex Girl in Good Dye Young (bangs added conditioner to for pastel, hair was platinum prior)

Hey everyone,

I just dyed my hair a peach colour and added cotton candy pink highlights and tips…. I asked my stylist if I should just add some pink dye into conditioner and he said yes…. I bought some manic panic amplified cotton candy pink to dilute - I actually love the warm peach shade and want to keep that… should I add the same conditioner all over or should I add a more concentrated conditioner to the tips and a lighter concentration to the root and middle of the hair to maintain?

thanks in advance for answers :)

i have been struggling the last few years as everything on the market now has a horrible blue base, i have had white blonde hair for over a decade and suddenly nobody makes products for me anymore? it's all intended for darker blondes with orange tones, i don't understand. i have access to pretty much any professional product on the market and everything is leaving a blue cast which is essentially turning my white hair green under fluorescent office lighting.

please help, if anyone knows of any that are truly still purple, please let me know! i would even go as far to mix a direct dye with my own conditioner for a custom shade but everything has that blue and if it doesn't have blue, it's 'orchid' which i know from experience will also ruin my hair.

I'm trying to find colorful dyes to use in a similar way to henna..since I do enjoy a bit of color but "colored henna" is just a bunch of random dyes. I know hair dye isn't gonna give me chemical burns if I use it on my skin, so what dyes do you guys have bad staining experience with? I know splat stains like a bitch, but I have vowed to never ever touch it again..trauma. Do you guys think if I used red manic panic it would stain for a while? I just don't remember how long the red stained last time I dyed my hair. I also wouldn't be opposed to just box dye, though I really want something that I can use a bit of and store the rest of, hence my affinity for manic panic.

I have type 3b/c hair and I currently have my hair in a knotless braid with some extensions. I want to dye my braids temporarily white for Halloween, where I can wash it off the next day. Is there a good way to do this?

i have this muted rosy color i was wondering what dye should i get to put in my shampoo/conditioner to help it not fade so quickly

Hello! (: My friend is going to come over to help me fix this but I’d like some advice on what volume of bleach to use and for how long? And sorry my hair is not brushed in these pics, they are from when I woke up and needed a hair wash 😅

For context, I am naturally a dark brunette with very fine caucasian hair. I usually have my hair bleached close to platinum blonde. I’m disappointed because I couldn’t afford to go to the hairdresser for 9 months due to financial issues and was excited to finally get it fixed ): So this orange part was originally all brunette regrowth. I went to the hairdresser last week and she bleached it once, it came out dark orange, so she had to bleach it again. Now it’s light orange… and I got a small burn/ scab on my forehead, where she could see the injury developing even before she put second round of bleach on and we both pointed it out yet she still got bleach on it.

She previously she charged me €300 for regrowth touch ups, but I’m new to blonde so I thought that’s a normal price for this. I’m starting to think that’s overpriced but honestly I don’t know because she works in a fancy salon. Anyway, her price seems to change sometimes, so this time I asked her in advance if she could tell me the price before I book the appointment and I told her it’s because I have to be careful with money right now. So she dropped it to €250 this time and to bring it in cash… I knew it was sus and that she’d just pocket the money but I trusted her to at least do a good job like the first time. And I was happy for it to be cheaper. Welp, I’m never doing that again, because now I can’t get a refund. She did offer for me to come get it fixed, but honestly I don’t trust it. Last time she was getting distracted with multiple phone calls and aggressively brushing my hair which is already delicate.

Thanks for helping 🩷

I stopped seeing my hairstylist for a couple years. I forgot why I stopped going to her until I went back yesterday. She always tried to make me red or black. I’m a natural brunette and have always wanted just brown but as soon as she heard I used to dye my hair years back red she kept putting red tones in my hair and then eventually she moved to essentially black.

I left her after getting black essentially passed off as a very dark brown and just started using ion 4N on my hair 20 developer. After trying to get the black out of my hair.

I recently had a baby and hadn’t dyed my hair at all in 5 months. I went to her because the grays were bad. She told me essentially that I needed a color correction but didn’t say that. She also didn’t tell me she didn’t have time for a correction. The 4N was way too dark a color. My grays catching it were making it a light brown in some places but there were patches of 2N from the 4N getting darker and darker.

She said with the postpartum shedding she doesn’t recommend the bleach bath. So she’d do a partial highlight. I said great highlight is great I just don’t like a chunky highlight. She said she could do a dark almost black or she could do a red. I was like oh no I’d like a brown if possible. She said a warm brown? And I was like whatever brown I need to be. She foiled my hair into chunky highlights. She said she threw in doing a full head highlight instead of partial. She colored everything else then did a second coloring. I was charged $305. Which I don’t think was unreasonable although she charged me for a style when I asked not to be. A stylist passed by and said what a pretty red it will be. I asked her at the bowl like is this going to be a brown. She said it won’t be a red but it won’t really be a brown.

She said I had booked the wrong appt and should’ve booked a color correction not an all over color like I did so she was seeing me in between clients. At the end I think she could tell I wasn’t happy. She said text her by Friday and she could do a shadow root. She said give it a few days my complexion will change into it and the lighting is just harsh and it’ll wash out and cool down and not be so red. She said that when I said I don’t like the red because I turn coppery she thought I meant I wanted a red that doesn’t turn coppery. But she told me a warm brown. 🙃

That was yesterday. I washed it today because I was in tears remembering why I left her and I thought I was treating myself to be a beautiful brunette all in one piece after becoming a second time mom and I walked out with chunky highlights and red hair.

All that to say, Would a shadow root fix this? I have family pictures in 3 weeks. I can’t really afford much more than a couple hundred more to fix it if needed. I’m just wondering if there’s any way I could be a chocolate brown or medium neutral brown in 3 weeks time. Any way to fix the chunky highlights too?

I feel like I should give her the benefit of the doubt and reach out and see what she can do I’d even pay her. I just can’t stand the red or the red tones. It’s not me anymore that was years and years ago.

My second question, is I’ve been to 3 separate stylists around my town and I always end up with some sort of copper or red or something when I ask for brunette. What should I be asking for?

Recent disaster at salon. I bough colorcharm
Well Demi in 7n and the shine lux developer in 6. Is that a good choice??

So a few months ago now I got some highlights and bayalage done at the hairdresser. I did it so I could make the purple I put in my hair more obvious, and i've been doing so.

It's grown out quite a bit so I would like to get some stuff done at the top, but i've been actively dying that hair purple

It pulled a teal a little bit when we initially did the highlights and the purple that I use covered it perfectly so i'm not super worried about perfect tone - i just want it to be light enough to be seen and roughed up enough that it will last longer

Is there a way to get that done semi affordably?

Dyed hair using Pulp Riot Absinthe. It's over dark brown natural hair but it didn't come out as green as expected. I didn't use bleach but knew it'd come out darker and compared other people's examples of their original hair vs dyed and thought it would look similar but it didn't end up that way. How can I make it more greener?

Everybody told me to dye it blue so the orange would go away but I'm scared to turn into sonic

Looking for any advice on toning to start this off for a cool color palette. I've been doing semi permanents at home for years but am now working on customizing my colors more than just throwing what's in the bottle straight on. Any advice on how to tone this and not shut the cuticles down before putting the semipermanent on?

I was reading a few old posts on here about achieving platinum blonde hair and all the comments were saying if you do go blonde all your hair will fry off and someone saying they went blonde for two years and regretted it bc their hair was so damaged.

I've been bleaching my hair blonde for four years now and, knock on wood, I have never had any incredible damage to my hair. i've had nothing more than slight breakage at the ends and my hair is silky smooth. And I'm not saying I'm immune to hair damage due to bleach because 8 years ago my hair literally melted off and felt like hay. I don't know what I'm doing differently than other girls but my hair health is great since going blonde.

Hi all,

When I hit puberty my hair started getting super greasy really quickly and my hairdresser recommended lightening it to help with this. I have now been bleaching it for 10+ years and looking to go back to my natural colour.

The problem is that, now that my roots are growing longer, my hair is starting to get super oily really quickly again. I'm using dry shampoo on day 2 and my hair looks greasy about 5 hours after washing.

Are there any products or tips to help with this?

TIA

I use to get free dye and had the patience to dye this myself 2 time a month. Now I’m lazy and just have pink hair.

My natural hair is a level 3 and lightens very well! I lighten it between a level 9 to 10 is this light enough for a bright-ish pastel pink? Like the pics ? My hair is closer to the third pic do I need to go lighter or tone all of the warmth from my hair ?

EDIT picture of my hair is in comments

I bleached my hair to an almost white platinum, white on the ends (before toner) and then dyed it neopolitan by adding brown and pink streaks. I love it, but it's been a whole 2 weeks so now I want to try something else. I wanna dye it blue, but I can't because of the brown streaks. How do I fade it fast? I heard malibu undo goo is good, but would it actually fade it that much? Btw I knew beforehand the brown would probably stain, I'm fine with a bit of staining, I just need it more faded than it is now.

I wanted to slowly shift my base light so I did one part 5nn to two parts 5ngb. I feel like my gray hair was barely covered and looks extremely translucent. What the hell. Any advice ? I just want to shift my base lighter and not have to bleach my whole head. I know it’s going to take years and I’m fine with that, but this looks like poop.
