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.
Will bleached hair grow out back to my natural color (brown)?
Yes. When you have your hair bleached out from brown to blonde, it only treats the hair down to the scalp level. The root of the hair shaft is not affected. Thus, your hair will return to brown as it grows out. This it why some girls go for root touch-ups every couple of weeks.
How would I dye my bleached hair back to a natural Asian black color?
Hello everyone! A bit over 2 months ago, I bleached my hair with a Japanese hair product called Palty. The color was too bright so I dyed it over with a dark brown by Lucido-L 1-2 weeks later, but it did not darken it as much. It has now been 2 months since all the dying, and I'd really just like to return to my original Asian black hair. The maintenance seems too much for me. My hair did become a little damaged, but it seems fine (my hair is thin, but it feels okay. The strands still have that bouncy feeling when tugged haha). Is there a product that you would recommend? I have read online and some say to go for a semi-permanent dye. Many seemed to mention Clairol's Natural Instincts, though I am unsure if they make the dark brown/black (Asian color hair) I am looking for. Thank you! :)
What do I do if I want my hair back to its natural colour and I bleach it and then dyed it blonde and then dyed it again dark brown. How can I get my hair back to its natural colour, is it possible to remove bleach from hair?
After using a bleaching treatment, you have stripped all pigmentation out of the shafts of your hair. So, you have to redeposit the colours back into the hair, moving up the colour chart from white to brown.I'm sure you have seen people who have yellow hair that intended it to be blonde. It's because they didn't take it down to the level past yellow. Black to browns to orange to yellow to white. You have to fill the shaft of hair with the colours, depending on how light you took it with the bleach.It can be done, I'm a senior stylist and colour Tech. If you are trying to do this on your own, I need some details please.May I ask what is your natural colour? In order to help you out, I need to know what colour you are now. Level if you know it. I also need to know what your natural is. Hair is made up of several colours, so if you can give me details about colour you pull when you first used the bleach, it can also help. For example, I'm a level 5 brown and my hair pulls copper and gold no matter what I use. Do you know what you pull and what level you are at now? As well as what you want to achieve?
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
Q about brown semi permanent dye on bleached blonde hair?
The blonde will probably not come back. When you bleach your hair, it is so dry that it absorbs the dye really well, and the blonde is pretty much gone. If you stop dying it, it should remain the color you dyed it, or a shade or two lighter, but not much, if any lighter at all. If you want your hair to be your natural color without just waiting for it to grow out, then you will need to bleach it again, and then dye it your natural hair color. *Warning* Depending on how processed your hair is, beaching and then dying it again could fry your hair beyond repair, turn it rusty, strange colors, and even cause it to break off or fall out. Go to a professional stylist so that they can see and feel your hair, tell them everything you have done to it, and see if they would recommend dying it now, or waiting until your hair grows out more. If you just go for a consultation, it should be free. *Tip* When selecting a dye to match your natural hair color, pick one that is just a shade or two lighter than your natural hair color. Since your hair would be bleached first, it will take the dye much better than un-treated hair.
Can I re-color bleached, fried hair to dark brown?
DON'T DO IT! OK, here is what you should do. First of all skip all of the homemade remedies and buy a good deep conditioner to use as a mask for your hair. Do this as frequently as possible, maybe twice a week? Also buy a good leave in conditioner to protect and moisturize throughout the day. I suggest 'Nexxus Humectress' for both. Hold off on coloring your hair for awhile. By adding more color you will be applying even more chemicals to your hair and damage it even further. Once your hair has had time to relax and settle down a bit, find the best stylist in town to go to. They can either restore your hair to it's natural color or depending on the damage, take it more slowly. You could even see a 'good' stylist now to see about having a glaze applied to it. You can get clear, or maybe even one with some color. Glazes are very conditioning and may improve the look of your hair in the meantime. Ask around for who is the best in town and please don't try to fix this yourself. Since you have to live with your hair for awhile it's better to be safe than sorry. And I know how you feel BTW, I've had salons ruin my own hair before. In the long run you will probably be better off by going slowly, adding a little color at a time. You also may need to cut some off to get rid of the worst of it, I did. Good luck, I wish your hair well soon!
