Blonde Hair Dye vs Brown Hair Dyes?

My hair is naturally dark brown. If I dye my hair a light, golden brown, will that be easier on my hair than going blonde? I understand "natural" hair is healthiest, but is blonde hair dye more harsh on your hair than brown hair dyes? Thanks so much for any advice!!

Blonde Hair Dye vs Brown Hair Dyes?

The only way to actually lighten your hair is to use bleach - whether you go white blonde or somewhere in between. Bleach damages it - fact. Go for the colour you want! But remember maintenance is expensive!

Im Blonde And Brown But Blonde Is Better By Far

Blonde Hair Dye vs Brown Hair Dyes?

Blonde Hair Dye vs Brown Hair Dyes?

I don't think the colour makes a difference... All hair dyes will damage your hair! The best thing is probably to use special shampoos and conditions for chemically treated hair afterwards, to keep it healthy. Also, a "natural" way to lighten hair is just to pour on lemon juice and then stay out in the sun.

Blonde Hair Dye vs Brown Hair Dyes?

Anytime you lighten your hair, you run the risk of damage. When lightening hair you are usually using harsh chemicals in order to remove the color from the hair (bleach or peroxide). The light brown-if bleaching-means the bleach will not be in your hair as long, when using a peroxide based color the times are usually the same, but the peroxide volume is higher. I would say the healthiest option is going to be a light brown peroxide based color/lightener.

Blonde Hair Dye vs Brown Hair Dyes?

going blonde will be harder on your hair because it totally bleaches the color out. if you really wanna go blonde, dont try to do it yourself. you will end up with bright orange hair. make sure you go to the salon to get it done.

Blonde Hair Dye vs Brown Hair Dyes?

blond dye is much worse than dark, it causes a lot of breakage and dryness, mostly because when you go from dark to blond it contains a bleaching agent.

Blonde Hair Dye vs Brown Hair Dyes?

the hair color has the same effect, bleach on the other hand is really bad for your hair!!

Blonde Hair Dye vs Brown Hair Dyes?

Hi you cant dye your hair blonde if you have dark brown hair as it wont work, you have to bleach it. I recommend using highlighting first as going all blonde will see a bit weird after being dark so long. So us Bblonde Highlight medium to dark brown hair and leave on for the maximum time it says about 2 hours and then you will have lovely blode highligts dont wash off till the hair looks blonde or yellow or white all over as you might end up with ginger patches.

But if you use a blonde hair dye it wont take at all and if you use just a brown I dont think that will work much either. You can get a hair dye that by LIVE colours which is for dark hair to lighten it but I have never tried it and I wouldnt really recommend it as you could end up orange.

Blonde Hair Dye vs Brown Hair Dyes?

BLONDE DYE ARE YOU CRAZY???? that is basically bleaching your hair which can dry it out FAST. if you want a lighter color keep the brown but try a LIGHT brown. good luck

Blonde Hair Dye vs Brown Hair Dyes?

As said before, dark hair would have to be bleached and you are unlikely to get the colour that you want from a regular bleaching alone so you would then have to put a colour on it as well but it isnt recommended that you do it straight after bleaching as your hair needs time to recover. There are some dyes out there that include lighteners in them but they dont give great results. You might be best doing it gradually with highlights - think Jennifer Aniston.

Hair Dye Disaster! -- Help needed ASAP?

hey everyone

Okay so, Ive been dying my hair for a long time now (its naturally dark Brown), a deep red that I do myself with the L'oreal Feria Kit (is that how you spell it?)

Anyway, Yesterday I decided i wanted some nifty higlights, so I went to the salon and chose a burgundy base colour and a wine red colour for hair lights

Im pretty sure that was the worst decision ever, I think they put in too many higlights coz all my raid is now cherry red and It looks so bad I could cry. I dont wanna dye my hair again (ive alredy dyed it twice since the beginning of the year)

I tried googling it but the only answers they have out there are how to lighten a dark hair dye, nothing on how to darken a light hair dye..anyone know what to do?

Hair Dye Disaster! -- Help needed ASAP?

you can by a toner (which is not hair dye, but found in the same section). it will make your hair darker, tone it down, and make it glossy and moisturized. plus, the highlights as they are now will gradually fade and dull over time anyway. good luck!

Hair Dye Disaster! -- Help needed ASAP?

Try a temporary rinse. You can find them that wash out in one shampoo or fifteen. It will give you a darker look without further damaging your hair.

Hair Dye Disaster! -- Help needed ASAP?

Eek! You poor thing! OK, here's the BEST thing to do. Go online or pick up your phone book and call a salon that specializes in "color correction." They can safely strip the color from your hair and safely re-dye it to a better shade. Safely. Even if you've dyed it twice already this year.

Or, better yet, call the salon where you got your hair done and tell them you don't like it! They may fix it, or at least charge you a discounted price to fix it. You never know.

I was going to say to just buy a box of dark brown and color the hell out of it, but..... well, here's my personal horror story:

I had fuschia hair once and then tried to bleach it out (yeah, I was 18....) and my hair turned the color of orange sherbet. I then decided, what the heck, I'll just dye it brown and it'll cover it up. Nope. I ended up having a bizarre light brownish orangish color hair for a while! Lesson learned. :-)

Good luck!!!!

Hair Dye Disaster! -- Help needed ASAP?

they probably used a lightener first for the hilights, this is usually done by stripping the color, then depositing the red on top of hair that is already red and pourous.

You might try a haircolor with no peroxide to temporarily tone it down. then wait 4-6 weeks to get a professional to fix it. Remember your hair will grab color fast so try to stay neutral.

Hair Dye Disaster! -- Help needed ASAP?

From experience I can tell you that it will end up costing you time and money trying to fix it and you'll be doing more harm than good to your hair. TRUST ME make an appointment at a salon to have it fixed.

Hair Dye Disaster! -- Help needed ASAP?

I know you don't want to die it again but die it close to your natural color. Later if you want to die it try a wash out die because if you don't like the color you can wash it out or die it again. Please don't use the salon hair die because if you don't like it you can't really do much about it. Oh another thing, change your hair stylist. Do you really want someone how messed your hair up? Believe me I gone through the same thing.

Hair Dye Disaster! -- Help needed ASAP?

Girl, this just happened to me! Except, it was a pink ish/stop sign red. I know! It was a mess. I called a salon and told them the story. They put a chemistry peel on my hair,... which stripped the color away, then they deep conditioned me becuase I had just dyed it two days, after that they put in a green based dye to counter the red dye and viola! It was a very low toned red, so low tones it looked dark brown with a hint of red. I love it now. Not yesterday. But anyways, call another salon asap and see what they can do for you

Re-dye my recently dyed black hair??

I recently dyed my hair JET BLACK. I loved it for while, but now I'd prefer to have my brown hair back. How long should I wait until I re-dye it? And I've looked at drugstore hair dyes that are specifically for "dark hair" that lighten your hair. I've used it in the past on my natural hair and it was fine, but the package says that they don't suggest using it on hair that has been dyed a color darker than dark brown (which I just did). Should I still re-dye my hair??

Re-dye my recently dyed black hair??

HI, I dyed my hair jet black once also and after a month didn't like it anymore, so i tried to dye it back to a brown and....that was not a smart idea my hair turned an orangish color and i ended up having to have them fix it at the hair salon. They say Red and Black are the hardest colors to dye , I would definately suggest going to a pro to re dye your hair...

Re-dye my recently dyed black hair??

Unfortunatley, no. It will ruin your hair, and damage it. It may look bad for a few weeks, but just wait because you shouldn't risk your hair to re-dye it. It will also eventually grow out. And If you are desperatley needing to change it I would wait 2-3 weeks and give your hair a break and go dye it to the color you want. I would also go to a hair stylist and ask to fix it.

Re-dye my recently dyed black hair??

I hate to tell you this but hair color will not lift hair color. Black is the hardest color to lift up and out. The only thing that will lift it is bleach. The color black is made up of a lot of different colors, it has red, orange, yellow. You would have to bleach your hair until you got to the level of brown you wanted and by pass the reds. If you really really want to do this please go to a professional. It is a extremely tricky thing to do by yourself, lookat it this way if you try to do this yourself and really mess it up you are going to have to go to a shop anyway and spend double the money.

Good Luck

Re-dye my recently dyed black hair??

it wont take good you have to wait till your hair grows out

Re-dye my recently dyed black hair??

Hair dye can not lift artifical color out of the hair. The black dye will have to be lifted from your hair with a low volume bleach. Loreal sells one at drug stores called the "Artifical Haircolor Remover Kit", but i suggest you go to a professional.

Re-dye my recently dyed black hair??

if you put a color over the black it won't do anything,it will still be black. The only way to get the black out is to use hair color remover and that is very damaging. You should just let the black grow out,keep trimming your hair to get rid of the black.

Re-dye my recently dyed black hair??

How recently did you dye it? Give it a few weeks before you try anything too harsh on it. My hair wouldn't let go of the black for a whole year and it was semi permanent! My hair stylist told me that a good way to get color out was to use Dawn dish soap on it. But this will dry out your hair so I would wait. She told me this after mine had been dyed a few months so I don't know if it would help on freshly dyed hair. Just thought I'd tell you what she told me.

Hair dye???

What happens when you leave hair color in longer than the box says?

Hair dye???

Depends how long. My friend always dyes her hair and when she tried to dye it from brown to blonde it turned black because she didn't do something right. Then she tried to turn it back to brown and it turned red...now its a dark brown/black color.

Hair dye???

Most hair colors stop working after a certain amount of time on your head. I have often left mine on a little bit longer than said. It has never hurt my hair or caused the color to be off in any way. I wouldn't leave it on for very long periods of time just due to the fact that the chemicals are not good for your hair.

Hair dye???

depends on how long and what color, if your going blond, it could turn your hair green.

Hair dye???

the color migthnot be the same if over processed

if not right consider going to a stylist and not try to fix it or you risk damaging yor hair

Hair dye???

I suggest you follow what the box says......I'm pretty sure it's for your own good.

Hair dye problem...need help..!!?

hello...

my Mother is really allergic to hair dyes...she has been using just henna on her hairs for about 7-8 years...but now she is tired of it...it is really difficult to apply henna then keep it on ur head and then wash it...its kind of mess... she has tested about 4-5 hair dyes which caused her allergy i.e her forehead seems to be swelled up..and she feels dizziness and itchiness,..can anybody please help out and tell that is there any dye which does not cause allergy...if u have used any such dye then please help...there is no store in our town that offers free hair dye sensitivity test..can u please tell that REVLON COLOR SILK , LOREAL CASTING or LOREAL NATURAL MATCH. causes allergy or not ???i have heard that they are ammonia free...so should we buy them or not?do ammonia free dyes cause allergy or not...??please help out....

Hair dye problem...need help..!!?

what color dye do you want???

i'm also allergic to ALOT of hair dyes mostly the dark ones...

i'm a hairdresser so i have to watch what i use on other people aswell

she would be having a bad dermatitis reaction to them as i do..

i end up with red lumps all over my body..

its quite grose.

i suggest a natural hair color like herbatint you can get it from most heath food shops.

its ammonia free and doesnt have any harsh chemicals.

i find its the only one i can use on myself.

its not always the ammonia that causes the reactions its a chemical in the dye called dihydroxynaphthalene or diaminoanisol

just try to avoid them as much as possible as well as ammonia...

i really suggest the herbatint though...

its your best chance as not causing an alergic reaction.

Hair dye problem...need help..!!?

If your Mom feel like a change and is scared of trying any more products the only thing I can recomend is to continue touching up her root with the ussual colour and treat herself to a few (around 10-15) Foil Highlights just on the top area It breaks the solid colour and the best part is that it does not touch the scalp which means no more painfull test of what work or not. If the colour is dark ask for a low light .....2-3 shades lighter then what the hair is, is always a safe and natural option. She should then only do her (tinted) roots every 4 weeks and have the roots (high lights) re-done every second time she does her tint to save a bit of money. Good Luck
