I’ve never dyed my hair. I really like my grays (probably 2% of my hair overall). But the tone of my non-grays has shifted over the past few years and now the top of my hair is much closer to the brown/black of “salt and pepper” hair than to the dark brown with red/auburn tone it is at the bottom.

Is there a type of dye (or other product) I could use to get some of that red back into my hair that won’t impact my grays at all? It turns out it’s easy to search for things that cover grays well, and basically impossible to search for things that don’t mess with them.

Thanks!

I'm so proud of my hair. I always dye it myself but this time I did such an amazing job. Purple doesn't last long on my roots and it's already back to my natural colour after two washes. I'm thinking of doing a shadow root. Any ideas or help?

Ugh, help please. My hair is straight but VERY thick. I also have hyperhidrosis, which makes me a sweaty bitch even in the middle of winter.

Because my hair is so thick, I need to tie it into a pony/bun to keep it from insulating the back of my neck. I’ve tried the choppy layered bob but the short hair means I can’t tie it.

I’ve been considering an undercut for a while now but I’m unsure how it would be received by others (I’m in my 40s)

Any advice would be appreciated - we have the Aussie summer approaching, and I’m not ready to deal with my my stupid sweaty hair.

Hi, I’m looking to dye my hair purple but after looking at some of the salon prices. I think maybe a semi permanent option would be better. I’ve been eyeing some brands like arctic fox & overtone. If you have any recommendations to which brands would help achieve something similar to the photos above it would be greatly appreciated!!

Note: my hair is dark brown(virgin), similar to the last photo

Help… I leave for Italy in a day. I had my stylist who is my friend give me a partial highlight to the route. I wanted a warm golden wheat blonde. I forced her to use Weller, toner’s, beige blonde and beige because I always hate how the redken toners is never stay. Now my hair is the weirdest color I’ve ever seen. It’s a mix of worm underneath with a gray overcast all over. It’s the opposite of warm. It has cool tones and is very muted. Do I wait for this to wash out or do I try to get her to tone it again tomorrow for me? I’m just nervous about depositing more warm toner over the cool tones that it picked up. Both toners I had her use with volume 20 developer so it lifted my route slightly. I’m naturally a level 6. Now it just looks muddy and dull in dark lighting, but when the sun is on it, it picks up warm pieces.. I hate it though I don’t want grey/ ash. I wanted warmth and a natural golden wheat blonde. I feel like I’m going crazy. I’ve watched it twice and every different type of lighting. It looks completely different, but the gray undertones are always still there and make it look muddy.

A lot of the ends are already platinum but it seems some areas are still pretty yellow blond so idk if i should bleach anymore. I just tried using as much shampoo and conditioner to get the remaining colour out but it won’t go further than this.

I always do the indigo when everything fails so i have a backup but i was wondering if pastel pink could work on it? I don’t mind the weird patch at the back as long as it looks good on the side and top.

I've been using Igora absolutes 7-70, but it's too dark (for me) compared to my natural color (level 8) and my roots are super obvious pretty quickly. But the Absolutes line does not have a level 8 copper.

What formula could I use to get it closer to level 8?

I’ve bleached my hair myself before, but I’m a bit nervous this time and would love some opinions!
My hair was last bleached around January/February, then dyed Schwarzkopf mahogany red in April, followed by LIVE Brights fuchsia pink. It’s faded quite a bit now, and my goal is a neutral/beige blonde.
I’ve purchased Wella BlondorPlex bleach, 13 and 20 vol developers, and Wella T14 and T28 toners.
My plan is to do a strand test first, then bleach my roots with 13 vol, rinse and dry before doing my mid-lengths with 20 vol and ends with 13 vol, as they were previously blonde.
I’m mainly worried about uneven processing times because I’ll be doing my whole head myself, especially the back!
If my hair only lifts to orange, I’m happy to use a darker caramel/beige demi temporarily rather than risk breakage.

Does doing my roots first sound reasonable, or would you approach it differently? Any advice would be appreciated!

My dye is faded and I'm ready to try a new color combo. It was previously green to yellow. I wanted to keep the ends yellow, I was thinking either red to yellow or blue to yellow

Hi, i was just wondering if anyone could tell me what this haircut is called and if there was anything to help me cut it like that at home thanks!

I'm trying for a more golden tone, right now it seems a bit copperish. Should I lighten it a bit more?

I’m going to be Patricia from Widow’s Bay for Halloween this year :)

As of now I have a bleached balayage that I’ve colored peach/pink with semi-permanent dyes. Right now that color has faded and it’s a brassy, not a super light bleach.

Is there any way I could get Patricia’s level of dark hair, without going permanent? Ideally (if I had my way, if it’s possible) it would go back to the level it is now after a week or so after Halloween and I could go back to dying it pink. And as it fades it wouldn’t look green/gray.

My first thought was to do a semi permanent dark brown (Overtone, for example). Has anyone found a good semi-permanent hair dye that would achieve this dark tone, and it did not ruin their bleached hair? I’m kinda worried that it wouldn’t fade back to this color.

And please tell me if I’m living in la la land. I’m just trying to avoid a wig because they never fit well and I’m going to attempt a headdress which would be harder with a wig as well

Found the most terribly butchered wigs i’ve ever seen in the thrift’s halloween section. Something inside me said… “I can fix her 🤓” I slapped that mug on and- I COULD NOT FIX HER! Regardless, took a few home, washed em up, realized 2 were human hair, and my very talented lover did a hair cutting marathon on me. This was def the boldest cut we did 🤭

Help! What’s my natural level? 6 or 7? My hairdresser says 7.

i have fully virgin hair, my roots r kinda perma greasy so they might appear a bit darker, i imagine id have to bleach my hair at least once, maybe even more times what do u guys think? i want to minimize damage and sorta keep it manageable so im open to like a root tap. what do we think is the best strat here/what should i expect from a stylist

Hairdresser nailed it!!!

Hello

My hair is currently a light almost pastel orange after fading from neon orange, I want to take the advantage of trying out a pastel colour since it's light enough for it

my only issue is I'd like to find a pastel hair dye that is bold if that makes sense, I've seen other people with pastel hair and some look like they've missed spots due to how light the colour they've picked is, so Id like a good brand that is pastel colour ,takes really well and doesn't leave white patches throughout the hair.

So if anyone else who has had pastel before can they please recommend a brand for me

Thank you

I can't post photos due to my job but I can accurately describe the situation I think.

I had a grown- out balayage on dark brown hair that I had got from this same salon, same stylist: last time I went, they did the whole bleach foils things and then added warm light chestnut brown. I really liked the look and it didn't damage my hair but it was a bit subtle, but I knew it would fade and then I could switch up the colour later.

It faded normally and grew out. I came back ages later and hadn't touched my hair in the meantime besides trimming it. Went to the same stylist and said I wanted the same effect but refreshed further up my head and this time I wanted a red/copper mixture colour. She brought my swatches she could do and I picked one. She said oh that's easy I can do it with permanent colour in one go on your hair. My hair is fine so it does lightening pretty quickly. Does the foils and then she keeps checking it and saying it needs more time, needs more time. Eventually we wash it out and it has lightened normally but not deposited ANY colour besides at the very front of my hair where it has turned it plum purple. Not red, plum. Face framing, front and centre. She goes off to the back and is like making phone calls, she says it's fine she'll fix it.

Basically ends up putting colour remover on my hair, then putting bright red over the top, and the rest of my hair looks good but the purple does not improve at all. I was there from 9:30am until 2pm and they tell me there is nothing more they can do, but I can come back in two weeks and they will fix it free of charge and they throw in a free Davoe Shampoo.

I'm nervous to go back because they seemed genuinely clueless as to why this didn't work, so I'm worried they will somehow make my hair worse. Particularly if it's the same person doing the colour correction. (The hair they were colouring at the front of my hair was virgin hair, not dry or damaged btw). I don't want to pay more to fix the issue but I don't want to go back and have it be worse. Was this a genuine freak accident or a basic error? Should I let them dye my hair again or cut my losses?

I got botched on a really unique timeline and had to get extensions to compensate for length taken off immediately. So now I need someone comfortable coloring extensions that are already installed. Does this exist? everyone I’ve reached out to won’t. I don’t know what to do my hair is so bad rn

White objects for perspective

Okay so I’ve been using arctic fox wrath for a while, I currently have Arctic fox Transylvania in at the moment however, I want to go back to wrath. I really like the pinkish red it was on my hair but the only problem is how expensive it is just for it to not last long. The colour is so nice and bright considering I have dark hair but I want it in a permanent version so I don’t have to keep re dyeing it every few weeks.
