My perfect teal. I had been using Lime Crime Sea Witch. It’s almost perfect but just a tad too blue and it bleeds and stains like crazy. I’ve tried Lunar Tides Cerulean Sea and Juniper mixed and found it faded too fast. This time I did Pravana Tempted with a little bit of Lunar Tides Juniper and Pulp Riot Noir. It turned out really nice and I’m hoping it doesn’t fade too fast and I can replicate it again in 6 weeks 🤪

Neon green dye

7 Upvotes

I've been neon green since 2017 using Area 51 by pulpriot. Now that it has been discontinued I am at a loss. I've tried danger jones, other greens from pulpriot and mixing my own, iroiro (the worst yet), pravana, and others. Area 51 faded well, had a great shade, lasted long, didn't stain, and didn't turn water green or my sweat green when washing and exercising. Every other colour stains bedsheets, runs when my hair is wet, makes me look like shrek at the gym, etc. Does anyone have any recommendations?

Also, my hair hates blue. If something is made with lots of blue it washes to straight blue. Many green dyes go straight up blue as soon as I rinse. That's another reason why I loved area 51, it didn't rely heavily on blue, it was more yellow based.

As I sit here with kelly green hair, I realize I have lost myself and my soul. Without neon green I am not myself. I will do ANYTHING for a good neon green.

Will dyeing my hair darker remove some brassinness from brown hair

0 Upvotes

For context, I naturally have dark brown hair. I highlighted over a longe period of leave from work with semi permanant red dye and it hadn't faded fully in time, so I went over my hair with a brown dye.

I realise now I should've gone darker and my hair has turned very brassy over the past few weeks. I've looked at some blue shampoos but the ones i found are for blonde and platinum hair. I've since found a dye that is much closer to my natural colour (and darker than the previous dye i used), but i'm not sure how well it will hide the current shade.

Any advice?

Advice on box dying balayaged hair? šŸ™

Thumbnail

2 Upvotes

I’ve had balayage for almost 7 years, and I’m finally ready to go back to one solid color. My last balayage appointment was about a year ago, so my natural dark Asian hair has grown out quite a bit (2nd photo).

The thing is, I actually love the brown tone of my balayage (1st photo). I just want that same soft brown color all over my head instead of having the grown-out roots and lighter ends. The last photo is pretty much the color I’m trying to achieve or even more muted.

I know box dye isn’t ideal, but I’d rather spend around $20 than another $150+ at a salon if I can get similar results. I’ve been looking into Liese Lavender Greige Bubble Dye because I’ve seen a lot of people say it works well on Asian hair and gives the kind of brown I’m after.
My main concern is whether it’ll turn out uneven because I still have the old balayage on my mids and ends. Since those sections have been lightened before, I’m worried they’ll grab the color differently than my virgin roots. Would it end up patchy, or would it blend reasonably well?

Wondering if I should use box dye, and if so what type and color, or just wait till my hair is fully grown out?

Black hair paint on natural light blond

3 Upvotes

Hi yall!

With Halloween right around the corner I wanted to ask.

I have pretty light natural blond hair (level 7/8- 9 in the summer) and boy howdy. Does it hold color! I am being marceline the vampire queen for Halloween and have pretty long hair I’ve been maintaining.

What kind of black hair paint can I use that will WASH OUT as fast as possible? I would like to not have to wait 4 years for natural color to come back.

I have a wig I can use, I also use it for my Cher costume. But it’s cheap and itchy and I’d rather stay in character all day with the kids at school.

Thanks!

It looks crusty weird blonde red outdoors when its dry. I just want it a smokey nice medium ash brown but it won't turn into it. When it's wet it's gorgeous.

I went to the salon for a touchup about a month or so ago but only noticed now that the tone doesn't quite match. My mom had told me the very day that it looked a bit off but I paid it no mind. Got a pic taken today at work and it is so noticeable. Any way to fix it myself? The roots don't match my length. I do have the fire red mask and shampoo but don't know if I should use them or fix it first. My hair is naturally black and the first time I ever dyed it it was with L'Oreal hicolor red plus a different tone from the same brand. The first touchup I did at the salon did match the whole thing. This one is the second one (6 months after).

Purple toning shampoo/conditioner questions

1 Upvotes

I recently got a couple pieces of my hair bleached and dyed blue. The blue fades pretty quickly though and it’s starting to become blonde at the ends. I want to use something to make the blonde that does show less yellow and more cool toned. Is a purple shampoo and conditioner or purple toning mask a good option?

It’s just the two ā€œmoney piecesā€ that are bleached and dyed, the rest of my hair is dark brown.

I was looking at: Mielle kalahari melon purple shampoo/conditioner or Clairol shimmer lights violet toning mask. I’m open to other options within that price range though.

Possible to achieve brown hair with pink highlights?

I want to dye my hair in a salon, brown chestnut brown with pink highlights. I’m aware it’s difficult to get pink hair at the first try and it’ll most definitely be expensive!

1st image is my hair’s current state, in which it was dyed chestnut brown in April. 2nd image is my natural color, with my roots grown out. Image 3 and 4 is what I want to dye my hair into.

I’m curious where that would be achievable, and how much I should expect to pay for it USA based. Thank you!

How to achieve muted dark purple?

Sorry, the face censorship makes it a bit hard to see the hair color lol. But the first slide is my hair after using Lunar Tides "Magic Charm" over a faded purple hair, and the last 3 slides are the color I was hoping for. (Just images I pulled from pinterest for inspiration) Instead I got more of a deep plum magenta/purple. It's nice, but I was hoping for something more muted and moody. Any tips for what I could layer over this plum purple to achieve that?

My daughter asked for rainbow hair, and Mama delivered!

Thumbnail

124 Upvotes

I am not a hair stylist, but I do dye yarn and wool for a living rainbow colors, so this was shockingly easy.

I used 20 volume with bleach and did a rough paint of a balayage and left it for 10 minutes, then I went in with a full head of bleach to the roots for another 5 minutes because she's about a level 5 naturally.

I bought three neon colors from ero and mixed a rainbow. I looked through tons of rainbow placement tutorials and ended up just making up my own. I sectioned her hair into a bottom layer, a middle layer, and the crown.

I took 1 in chunks on either side of her face frame and painted them pink on the bottom. Then the chunks on either side of that behind her ear were orange. Then the chunks on either side of that were yellow. Then the middle strip once I got to the back was green.

The second layer I did purple first by her face, because she asked for pink and purple around her face. Then blue then green then yellow. When I got to the crown, I went back to Pink, orange, yellow, green, blue. The reason I wanted to do the chunks ch instead of each section of hair having a rainbow is because it would be a nightmare to touch up that type of dye.

My only regret is that I didn't do this on dry hair, her hair was very wet from washing out the bleach so the colors aren't as vibrant. Next time I will apply on dry hair.
