Would you eat food that could change your hair color?
Hell yeah. How great would that be? Just thinking about it… Chocolate for brown, red velvet cake for red, carrot cake for copper…banana for blonde…*Gasp*…banana AND chocolate for streaks…LoLOn a serious note, what you eat, does affect your hair pigmentation a little bit. Medication included.As a stylist and a person who takes medication for an illness, I will give you a little information. You can see the shaft of hair and discoloration along the shaft at different points in the growth cycle. You can see when absorption was low for nutrition by the colour deposits on the hair shaft. The body is an amazing thing. It's built to fight issues and to aid in it's own healing.
How long should you wait to dye your hair again?
Depends what dye and the condition of your hair.Permanent dyes: Minimum a week. Longer is better. I would wait until you can't bear with the roots before you touch up, but after 5cm it can get tough because the hair close to the scalp develops really fast.Bleach: Minimum two weeks. Longer is much better.If hair is really broken: rather grow back healthy hair, or use natural dyes like tea.General Tip: a week or two right before and after dyeing baby your hair a little bit. Don't treat it too much with heat and don't wash it too often and too hot, as it strips oils it will desperately need. Use a several hour coconut hair mask before dyeing (don't rinse out) and every now and then to get it back to shape.
I was thinking about changing my hair color to platinum like Sisqo...?
definately no. plattinum hair looks terrible on just about everyone and it really hard to darken up when you dye over it. I would definately not do it
Is it okay to ask my wife to change her hair color?
As a married woman, I can tell you this:It's ok to ask your wife to change her hair color. It's absolutely not ok to tell her to change her hair color.Maybe you should take a second and really think about why you want her to change. I'm assuming it's a purely selfish reason and has nothing to do with fostering her individuality, independence, and confidence within your marriage. If it's because she had a really horrible hairdresser that turned her hair into some awful, brassy, damaged mess, then I would make her a surprise appointment at an upscale salon and let them work their magic with her. You can always state what you think would look nice, but again, she has final say in what color and style she chooses.I usually ask my husband's opinion before I have my hair colored, but in the end, my husband always reminds me that it's ultimately my decision, that no matter what I decide he will find me attractive, and that he will love me regardless of what my hair looks like. Come on. My hair was rainbow at one point, and my husband still loved taking me out places.In the end, it's just hair. It grows back and can be cut and colored again if the current look isn't working for her. You should want your wife to feel confident in herself, and if she has to worry about what you think about her hair constantly, her confidence will go right out the window. Build her up. Don't tear her down.
Does hair color developer go bad?
Developer is hydrogen peroxide H2O2. It’s really water H2O with an extra oxygen. Adding developer to haircolor makes it alkaline and triggers the decomposition of the peroxide. We don’t want the peroxide to decompose until we use it. Peroxide can decompose if contaminated, exposed to sunlight or heat.Decomposition of hydrogen peroxide yields water and oxygen gas. If you keep the bottle tightly capped and the peroxide does decompose, you will see the bottle swell up and hear a hiss when opening the cap. Peroxide that has partially decomposed is not full strength peroxide.
MY BOYFRIEND WANTS ME TO DYE MY HAIR IN BLONDe BUT I THINK IT WILL LOOK UGLY ON ME.?
you don't have to dye your hair if you don't want to. You shouldn't change yourself just because your boyfriend thinks it'll look better on you. What's the point of you not being yourself if he wants you to look different?
Can I dye my hair twice in the same day with the same color? I dyed it before since I missed a few spots.
I had a girlfriend who wanted to impress me once. She had mousy-brown hair and wanted it to be red, without bleaching it first. So she dyed it at home, and when that didn't take, she dyed it again, same day.I'm not sure if words can describe the result. Let me start with what her hair looked like before. Her hair was normal weight, wavy, and medium length, just below the top of her shoulders. A full rich lovely head of hair. Before, that is.After... How to say this... She chemically burned off over half of her hair follicles, causing massive hair loss and blisters to erupt all over her scalp. The thin stringy hair that remained was so brittle that most of it snapped at various lengths, ranging from a quarter inch long to just about half way off her head. There were a few strands that remained full length.She spent three weeks massaging ointment into her remaining hair to treat her sore, blistered, oozing scalp. She wore a cloth bandana to cover her head. She couldn't wear a tight fitting hat because the combination of ointment and ooze would cause the hat to stick to her head, risking skin (and more hair) to be pulled off when removing the hat.It took about four months to get normal hair back. She is never allowed to dye her hair, ever again, doctor's orders.To say that she made an impression is an understatement.First off, I'm not saying this will happen to you. Heaven forbid. The ER doctor told us that her body had gone into allergic shock due to the multiple attempts at hair dye. It's not a common reaction.Secondly, clearly, this is a worst case scenario. I do not believe this will happen to a random stranger I've never met on Quora.I'm sharing this because I want you to realize that the human body is complex and the variation between individuals can be great. Something that works once, may not work twice, and something that works for someone else may not work for you.Better be safe than sorry.This message is 100% true. I'll never get the sight of her hair out of my mind.

I dyed my hair black from blonde, and I hate it. How can I lighten it up without bleaching my hair again?
I had this same problem. I've been colouring my hair black for the past year or so but wanted to go back to blonde (my natural hair colour). But I did not want to a) fry my hair and b) walk around with an orange head!So what I did is this:First step: I went to the hairdresser to add some highlights to my black hair. The highlights came out a somewhat "goldie" colour and simply lifted the black a bit, yet it did not look too intense, especially after a few washes (as it would have if I bleached my whole head). So I could still go out in society without looking like a clown. LOL! Second step: I waited 3-4 weeks (to give my hair time to recover)Third step: After 3 weeks I put hair colour remover to my hair (NOT the type which has peroxide in it - the type which only removes hair colour). I don't think the product matters that much - as long as it does not contain peroxide. Also, go for one that says maximum strength. The colour remover made a big difference and lightened the black areas to a golden brown colour, while the highlights remained in tact. So at the moment I'm not yet fully blonde but I now have golden brown hair colour with highlights. My next step is to wait another 2-3 weeks and then add some more colour remover (or, alternatively, go back to the hairdresser and add some more highlights) to lighten it up even more.The reason I did the highlights first was because the colour remover does have the effect of giving your hair a slightly orangey tone. But that is counteracted by the highlights (which stays in tact even after using the colour remover). I also added some toner to my hair to counteract the orange.I think no matter what you do, if you want to lighten your hair from black, you will end up with orange/golden tones so the key is to change it mildly, step by step so that it won't look too intense.
I consider it terrible that my teenage daughter wants to dye her hair platinum. I fear it will look cheap and awful. What should I do?
At that age, I also tried to “rebel” through my looks. I threatened my mother with “what would you say if I dyed my hair purple?”. Her response was the perfect one: “I’d tell you to bleach it first so the color really pops”. My teenage rebelliousness was thwarted by her acceptance! And she was right, bleaching it first really brought the purple out.Today, I am 43, and a mother of two. Right now, I have sky blue hair, and a large assortment of colorful, visible tattoos, and I wear short or backless dresses because it’s hot out, and they still look good on me. None of these things matter. None of these things indicate WHO I am as a person.Here’s the most important part. I donate my time to help others, I am compassionate, kind, accepting, tolerant and understanding. I went on to get a degree from a respected university, while working full time to support myself. I’m disabled now, but I worked hard when I could, teaching parenting classes to at risk families. My children are now teenagers themselves, and they are also compassionate, curious, kind and all-around wonderful humans to all other people they encounter. They know how to work hard to get what they want, the only thing they are spoiled with is love. My 12 year old was allowed to have blue tips for the summer break, with the promise to cut them off before school starts.In the grand scheme of things you must consider the long-term goals you have for your daughter. This is the time for her to “rebel” against you, to begin to split away from you as a parent to begin forming her own personality and life as a future adult. Tread lightly during this phase, and you will continue to have a lovely daughter who will respect you and eagerly share any future grandchildren with you. If you try to insert your parental authority too much, over “inconsequential” issues like hair color, you will be telling her that you do not accept who she is becoming. I promise that will not end well for either of you. Stick to enforcing the big rules, like having respect for themselves and others, knowing when to have playtime and when to work, and that they can ALWAYS come to you in their times of need.If they feel judged, they will no longer see you as a safe person to come to with their REAL problems. Let the little stuff slide… and remember, it’s her body to do with as she pleases as long as she isn’t harming her health or safety.
