How can I dye dark brown hair light brown without bleach?
Is this dark brown natural,or dyed? If it is color treated hair You can't,really. Color will not lift color. If you don't have the patience to wait for it to fade gradually,you could try to remove a little intensity by shampooing with Dawn. This will lift the cuticle to help some color leach out. Possibly. Be sure to condition well after this. Your best bet is to see a professional colorist as this is iffy. There are mild bleaching procedures that can be performed in salon,and a new color may need to be applied to achieve your desired result.
If I dyed my hair light brown over dark brown...?
Just remember that color doesn't lift color. If you do it only your roots will lift. the only way is to bleach or use revlon efisol they have it at Sally's its like bleach but u use water instead of peroxide and less damage. Good luck . oh and i tell you this cuz i went from black to light brown
How do I dye my hair light brown without bleach?
Usually I would be asking you questions about your hair before figuring out a formula to color your hair. I’m going to give you a few scenarios, and hopefully this will help you out. If you have virgin hair (never been colored), and it’s dark, you have to be prepared to counteract the underlying pigments, mostly red and/or orange, depending on what level you want to reach. To neutralize the red underlying pigment, you will need a green based color. To neutralize the orange, you will need a blue based color. If you are buying your hair color from Sally’s then you are first going to want to get your natural color matched to see what level you’re starting at. So, if your hair is really dark, almost black, that’s a level 2. You want a light brown, probably a level 6. You want to lighten your hair 4 levels. To get to that goal, you need to use a 40 volume developer with your color. Now when applying the color, you need to apply it 1/2 inch away from the scalp, and 1 inch from the tips of your hair. The reason for this is the heat from your scalp will make the scalp process faster than the rest, and the tips are usually more porous and process quickly as well. Once the mid-shaft has processed for about 25 minutes, then apply color to the scalp and ends. Process 15–20 minutes, or until color is even from root to tip.If your hair has been colored before and it’s darker than the light brown you want, you have no choice but to strip the color out, and that involves bleach.If your hair has been previously lightened, then you need to use a filler to replace underlying pigment needed to support your color and prevent fading. You would probably need a gold filler. Filler is applied to dry hair before applying color. Since you are only depositing color, you will need a 10 volume developer. Apply color root to tip, and process 30 minutes at room temperature.10 volume = deposit color and/or lift 1 level20 volume = lift 2 levels30 volume = lift 3 levels40 volume = lift 4 levels50 volume = lift 5 levels
Can I dye my bleached hair dark brown again?!?
This is info on hair dye & bleach. If you semi or permanently dye or bleach your hair you have permanently changed your natural color until you grow it out. You have opened the hair strands cuticle and removed melanin (color). With dye you remove less, then you deposit new color. Bleach you remove more the lighter you go. Once you have dyed your hair you can only go darker or stay the same level but you can change the tone DYE WILL NOT LIFT DYE. Dye will only lift natural color 2 levels with 20 volume developer. Red fades easily the red molecules are different, it's the easiest color to fade but the hardest to get out, yes it confuses us all. Using 1/4 brown neutral with 3/4 of the red will help hold it also using a clear glaze will help maintain it. If you choose to go lighter then you have to bleach the dyed part to the level you want, not your roots at first or they will be way lighter, put on when hair level is similar to root color. Then put the desired color over your entire hair. Don't do your new growth until your dyed hair is almost where you want it or they will be too light. You can't get to ultra blonde without bleaching, there isn't enough lift in the developer you need 40 volume mixed with bleach. I recommend Kalidacolors Blue. Then tone with a violet base. Use a shampoo for Blondes. There are also Hi-lift blonde dyes that are less damaging. If you want to go darker you have to fill the bleached hair with a gold based filler then color over that. Don't use "box color" it's unpredictable & contains metallics that can leave permanent lines in your hair if you change color products. Go to Sally's Beauty Supply they have more professional products & they can assist you in your purchase & the prices are better. Use good products not Pantene, Herbal Essence & Garnier they are silicone products. They make you hair nice at first but as the silicone builds up it locks out moisture your hair weakens & breaks. Use pro products they last longer because you use less so the extra expense is worth it. The shampoos don't contain a detergent lathering agent so it's weird at first because you are used to lather. Great specialty products are, Nioxxin, (for growth) Joico K-Pak Reconstructor also Silk Results, Rusk has New Pro Elements Keratin. Nexxus Humectruss & Keraphixx. Big Sexy has good general products. Take Biotin & Vitamin E to help have healthy hair.
What color does dark brown hair turn when it's bleached?
What about red hair?? or "Copper blonde" as it's called... because me and my bffl want to bleach our hair or at least dye it blonde and we have no idea how it would turn out!
My hair is dark brown. How can I turn it light blonde?
There is a really affordable product called "sun in" and it's basically just a spray that you put on your hair when you go outside during the summer, or during any sunny days. I did this last summer and achieved a pretty light color. It won't be COMPLETELY blonde, but you can get there.I also suggest getting highlights. If you get highlights multiple times for about a year, you will reach the blonde you want. You can even get highlights and add Sun-In to it for that extra blonde. Hope I helped!
Help!! how do i dye my dark brown hair light brown?
dye your hair a light shade of blond. Each time you dye it, it will get lighter. People say that this doesn't work, but I've done it. It will take a while this way but it's allot safer than using bleach or peroxide
I naturally have slightly dark brown hair. can I dye my hair blue?
Yuppers. Im not a professional but mine is dark brown and I've dyed my hair blue several times. First you have to lighten your hair enough for the blue to show (which would mean getting your hair bleached). If you don't want to spend the money on getting your hair professionally bleached then you do what I do and use either one of these:You can get these at Walmart or Shoppers Drugmart, and possibly other places. If you have really long thick hair (like down-to-your-elbows long) then you might need two boxes. Make sure to follow all the instructions in the box very carefully. If your hair is a reaally orange color, you might need to bleach again (make sure to wait at least 1 month before bleaching again). But if your hair is a lighter brassy color like this:You can still put blue dye in it. Though keep in mind, the more yellowish your hair is after bleaching, the more green your hair will be after the blue fades.As soon as your hair is totally dry from the bleaching, blue the blue dye in right away. Right now your hair will be “thirtsy” from the bleaching so it will soak up the dye and will keep the color longer. My personal favorite color dye is Jerome Russels Punky Color:This is the best semi-permanent dye I've tried. Got it as Shopers Drugmart (you might be able to find it at Walmart, I'm not sure)Tip: use some cheap conditioner to help washout the dye. Your hair will still feel kinda stiff (or kinda like straw) from being bleached recently so it will stick and trap excess dye from washing out, the conditioner will make it slippery so more dye will come out the first rinse.Keep in mind any color dye will slowly come off, so use dark color towels you don't care about. If you want it to last longer make sure to use color protection shampoo and conditioner.Sorry this is such a long explanation! If you want more info you can private message me :D
