If I dye my hair,will my natural color ever come back?
I have naturally Auburn Red hair. I truly love my hair but i've made the decision that i'd like to dye it black for a hairstyle i'm getting. But before I do this,I want to know if there is any way I could ever get my natural color back after i've dyed it. I would only use temporary dye that would only last for a few months at a time.
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.
Will my red hair dye come out in the pool?
Yeah it will if you go into a pool right after dying your hair I would aleast wait 24 hours. Then party all you want in that pool.
Will my hair go back to blonde?
If you get a standard drug store box dye you could be stuck with a big brown mistake for a very long time. If you want to experiment with a color but you aren't sure if you will like it or hate it then try a temporary color that washes out in anywhere from six shampoo to three months. These are available at places similar to Sally's Beauty. If you hate the brown it's easy to wash your hair a few times with a temporary color. If you hate a drug store box dye you will need to use a color remover and these can be quite harsh on the hair. As a natural blonde who made the big brown mistake and then made it worse with bleach trust me, you want a temporary color first. Further: get a color lighter than you think you want. Dyes look darker on lighter hair and that nice milk chocolate color on the box could look almost black on your hair. Many browns look flat, cold and one-color. A warmer brown looks better than cool brown and can mitigate some of the one-color look. And finally, just because a color is intriguing and looks good on others it doesn't mean it will look good on you. So be sure you try a temporary color before making the big commitment to a permenent dye.
Can I use a blonde box color over bleached hair?
While hypothetically you could, I wouldn’t recommend it.Are you trying to darken your hair, or lighten it more?Bleached hair is already much more fragile, and putting a boxed dye, which are usually designed to be high-lifting, could easily cause the hair to fry, break, or just be extra brittle and gross. If you want it lighter, you might want to (and here come the dreaded words!) go to a salon. Bleach is an iffy topic, and unless you didn’t really want your hair anymore it’s good to tread with caution here.If you want to darken it, however, I’d recommend a semi-permanent dye. These don’t lift, just deposit color, and cause much less damage than permanent dye. While the color will slowly wash out, it’s a lot easier to re-apply the semi-permanent occasionally than to grow a new head of hair.The quick disclaimer: everyone’s hair is different. Your results will depend on your hair type, damage level, and other factors. For my hair, at least, I had bleached it over the summer, and it started yellowing a couple months later, at which point I decided it was too light for me. Thus, I got some medium and dark blonde dyes from Sally’s and used 10 volume developer (which is basically deposit-only) and my hair turned a nice neutral medium-dark blonde. It wasn’t especially damaged afterwards so…success. :)And the other note: you could stop by a Sally’s Beauty Supply store (if you have access to one) and the employees may be able to actually see your hair and give you some advice. I prefer Sally’s products because you are able to control more of the variables, like the developer and exact shade, instead of picking a box dye and hoping for the best.Good luck! :)
What happens when you mix two colors of hair dye?
First of all are they the same type of hair dye. Because the level of lift will change if the developers are not the same. If your just talking about the actual colors (assuming they are not Highlift or have any kind of lightn boost)send me the name of the color in letter number format and the brand so I know if it's a demI-permanent or semi or just your average permanent.For example:matrix (brand)socolor (color line)504 n (500 series is a super pigmented color that has both lift/deposit action to blast open the stubborn grey hair and really stain it, ideally for 50%-100% grey)(the “n” after the 504 indicates the undertone being neutral and the “4” is the level of color, which is dark brown)this color Is mixed 1:1It's sold in 3oz tube and its technically 2 applications per tube. Good money saver.to mix a secondary color the level of the color: 1=black 12=white blonde would either darken or lighten the pigment quantity. Then the undertone which is the letter marking will now create a new color, or cancel out a color just like complimentary and colors on a color wheel do (ex yellow + violet)If your mixing brands and developer volumes it is not recommended because each line is only formulated to work with that line, but I've done ignoring in the salon and it's fine if you know what your looking for and don't mix a higift with metallic color like henna and bleach or your looking at a chemical haircut. Aka hair melting off.If if your just mixing like blue and red then same as a colorwheel you will make purple. Based on the type of blue and red it will be a different purple. Ex: true red and a aqua will lean towards a more red based purple.i don't mind telling you exactly the color you will make if you send me the exact name brand and color level like I listed above. let me know the number of developer also if it's not all from a box Hair color. Ex: 20vol.
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 I put blonde hair color on already bleached hair?
Of course you can put blonde hair dye on bleached hair. It’s a matter of how damaged your hair already is. So ask yourself some questions before grabbing the dye.Are you buying box dye or mixing your own?While box dye is quite a bit cheaper if you are doing this once (hard to believe), it works differently on different hair types. So while a dye might work great in my hair, it might melt yours. Something you have to figure out over time.Or. you can get it done by a salon.Do you have extra curricular activities that could damage your hair more? (i.e. Swimming)Be careful about swimming with bleached hair. Green or dry hair can happen to anyone.How often do you already bleach your hair?You do not want to over process your hair, else you have to cut it off and start over.Can you dedicate time to applying a hair mask at least once a week?This is personal. Not everyone has to do this, but I reccommend it to any of my friends wanting to dye their hair. I do it and my hair has survived being toned and bleached all the way to white.How do you feel about cold showers?Another personal one. Hot water can cause damage to your hair. You don’t have to shower exclusively in cold water, but 2–5 minutes of cold water at the end can not only make your hair shiny, but also improve your immune system (Two birds, one stone).What about dry hair?No matter what you do, bleaching and dying will dry out your hair. You will notice. So, as long as you don’t mind that, then go for it.What is your natural hair color?Naturally blonde hair is easier to bleach/dye because it doesn’t have to be processed as much. Brown and darker hair has more integrity (normally it is thicker) and can handle more dying, but it takes more to go lighter.Sooooo, all this and more comes into play when deciding whether or not you want to dye your hair.Good luck with your decision!
If I get my hair dyed, will it rub off on my pillow that night?
If you are using a permanent dye, then no. The pigments will be chemically infused into your hair, and won't come out, even with shampoo. On the other hand, if you are using a temporary dye that's supposed to easily wash off, it may come off on your pillow or on anything else that your hair touches, especially if your hair gets wet. With dyes like this (which are usually used for Halloween and similar one-time occasions), you should wash your hair before going to bed. Semi-permanent, demi-permanent, and natural dyes (like henna) shouldn't come off on your pillow, but if it's a poor quality dye or if it wasn't properly applied or rinsed, you may have a problem. Generally they are more similar to permanent hair dyes though, and will only fade over time and as you wash your hair.
