Can I bleach my hair over a blue dye?
You can, but some direct dyes have a tendency to become a sort of murky turquoise if you bleach them. Not to mention the damage to the hair if you are bleaching already damaged/bleached hair to get rid of the blue.If you have overall dark blue hair (black-blue) that is darker than your natural hair color, usually accomplished with a permanent hair color, using a hair color remover should remove most of the blue. You’re likely to need to color correct and tone and then dye over it to get some sort of natural color.If you have bleached blonde hair, and you dyed it blue and hate it (it happens) or got bored of it, the best option is to help it fade. Wash your hair with a cleansing shampoo several times, and don’t forget to deep condition as alongside the dye your hair natural oils will be stripped. This should get it to a level where you can dye on top of it with another color. If the blue still doesn’t bulge, a bleach bath is easy and can be done at home and generally is less rough on the hair than a full on bleach job.Do not try to color correct your own hair unless you know what you are doing and are happy to run strand tests. Applying an orange dye to cancel the blue can turn out terrible. But you may be able to dye with a warm toned brunette on top of the blue to achieve a decent natural looking brunette color. That said, this is difficult to get it right if you have never done it before.If your hair is very weak or damaged a visit to the hairdresser (who will have expertise and the right products to color correct hair) should be in order. You really don’t want to give yourself a chemical haircut.
Can you bleach dyed hair? If so, how?
Absolutely you can! It just takes a little more caution than bleaching virgin hair.I recently bleached my hair from bright red to very light blonde, and it turned out just fine. It kinda depends on what colour your hair was dyed (for example black and dark browns are harder to get out,) but here’s a general overview:I went to Sally Beauty Supply and purchased Prismlites Blue toned Bleach, 30 volume developer (creme, not liquid [personal preference]) and a shiny new tint brush. (But I’m no professional. Use caution and commonsense…I ain’t liable for your hair.)Since I was doing more of a balayage-highlighting technique, I didn’t get within a couple inches of my roots, so that was one less thing to worry about.I sectioned my hair carefully, and as soon as I began applying the bleach I worked quickly to pull it through evenly (in the places i wanted). I started timing immediately and actually stopped halfway through bleaching to rinse the bottom section, so it wouldn’t overprocess.Once your hair is a pale yellow at the lightest, (mine had a teeny bit of orange in places,) you MUST wash the bleach out or face all the hair catastrophes I’m sure you’ve heard about. If your hair was really dark, you might want to stop while still orange (or once the time suggestion on the bleach is up,) because it’s better to go back later and re-bleach then to fry it trying to go super light in one day.After that, shampoo, tone if you want, or wait and dye it. Good luck!Oh, and don’t freak out when it’s still wet. My hair looked bright yellow-orange when I was fresh out of the shower, but once it dried it looked much blonder and better. First appearances can be deceiving!
Do you have to bleach hair before dying it?
Sorry, there’s no hard and fast answer.I’m not a hairdresser but I alter the color of my naturally strawberry blonde hair a lot. Darker requires no bleach; lighter does. The fun colors: pink, purple, blue, green all require that you strip the color from your hair first. I did it earlier this year and it actually altered the texture of my hair until it grew out!Unless you’re experienced, go to a hairdresser for your questions.
Splat Hair Dye , Re-Bleach It?
Well, never do two bleachings in a day- it'll really hurt your hair. Is your hair frizzy, cotton candy like? If so, wait at least a month before rebleaching. If your hair is shiny and healthy, you can consider a second bleaching. However, it will put your hair in a worse condition- it's a trade off. One thing you should definitely NOT do is bleach both the dark and and already red parts together. When you redye the red, the darker parts will be a darker red than the lighter, which could look weird. Try to only bleach the darkened parts, to the same level of lightness as your current red. As a side note, I would not recommend using splats. They are fairly damaging to your hair, and do not last as long as some other brands, plus they have a very limited selection of shades. Some other brands I'd look into- -Manic Panic, these are made from vegetables and are actually good for your hair. There's a large selection of colors as well. The main downside is that they do not last long, only a few weeks. There is an amplified formula that lasts longer however. You can find them at a Sally's Beauty or Hot Topic store, or if you want order the online from sallybeauty.com. Their full selection is here: http://www.manicpanic.com/classiccreamformula.html -Directions, again, they do not hurt your hair. These are the BEST dyes, they are very vibrant and last for almost 2 months. The main issue is that they are from the UK, so you'd have to order online and import from there. amazon.co.uk is a good place to look. http://www.lariche.co.uk/directions-hair-colour/ -Special Effects- once again, great for your hair. These are sold in the US, but I don't know of any stores that sell them- it's best to order from a place like amazon. http://www.specialeffectsusa.com/hair_dye.html All 3 of those sell bleach kits, I find it convenient to pick up manic panics from hot topic, all bleach is pretty much the same. You could alternatively buy packets of Ion bleach and 40 vol Ion Developer at sally beauty. Message me if you need anymore help, I love helping people dye their hair :-)
Should you bleach your hair before dyeing it purple?
It depends— do you want a purple toned whatever-your-hair-is-now, or do you want a truly bright, vibrant purple?Some stores sell bleach-free dye kits that are supposed to work on darker hair. I tried one earlier this year. Supposedly, you can achieve this picture without bleaching your brunette hair:Yeah, I call baloney on that claim.And double baloney on this diagram.“Results may vary” really means “It's gonna barely show unless you're a natural medium blonde or lighter.” I had some pieces show a purplish sheen in bright sunlight, but otherwise my hair looked darker brown, nothing more even when I reapplied three times.If you want noticeably color and your hair is darker than chocolate milk, you probably need at least some lightener in your dye plan. Bleach is scary. It can literally melt your hair if something goes wrong. If your hair breaks easily or you're afraid of causing permanent damage, absolutely go to a professional. Otherwise, make sure to buy from a well-reviewed brand and follow the directions closely.Enjoy your purple hair no matter how you get there!
Can you mix bleach and hair dye together?
DON'T mix the bleach and hair color. I'm pretty sure It would mess up your hair. What I'd do is bleach out my hair first so thats it's light enough and then but the blue in. But I personally hate bleaching my hair beacuse it pretty much dries it out, so use a good conditioner and don't over bleach your hair =]
If I dye my hair blue, can I dye it back or will I have to cut it off?
Technically, there are ways you can dye it back.Blue dye will fade eventually; depending on the shade, it will probably fade to greenish or light blue, but if you are really lucky (like I was ONCE,) it might fade to platinum. If it gets light enough, like almost blonde again, you can dye over it, maybe with a warmer blonde to neutralize the green.Alternately, there are color removers that can get the color out. I cannot personally recommend one, because I usually just reach for the bleach. (I heard the muffled screams from the peanut gallery: it’s fine. My hair is not, in fact, fried.) You can remove the color and then dye it back to natural.Hang on…I missed a step. Were you planning on bleaching it? Most cases vary, but usually blue dye over natural dark to medium blonde hair turns very turquoise. That might not be the blue you wanted, but if you DON’T bleach your hair there is a better chance of the color fading out completely. It’s a porosity thing…bleached hair is more porous and hangs onto color longer, while natural virgin hair lets it go more quickly.I HATE giving the “go see a stylist” answer, but…it might be worth asking one for this. Even just a consultation might give you a better idea .However, if you’re like me, you can always “just kinda go for it,” and trust that the rest will work out later. ;) Good luck!
Can dark brown hair dye go over blue hair dye?
My hair is naturally light brown, or dark dirty blonde, however you receive the color, my natural hair color has been called both. In April of this year I went to a salon and got half of it bleached and had blue hair dye put on top of the bleached parts. Now I've decided I do not want blue hair any longer, and I was wondering if I put dark brown hair dye on top of all my hair if it would cancel out the blue? Or will I have to bleach the blue out?
Would I need to bleach my black hair before putting navy blue in it?
If you try to bleach your hair and then dye it blue, it makes the blue turn dark almost to black because of a reaction. If you're trying to dye your hair navy, navy's pretty dark anyway so you might be okay without bleaching.
