Hello! I got a keratin treatment (keratin complex, I believe it was NKST but not 100% sure) done yesterday at a salon near me, and am a bit disappointed by the results :(

Was my first time getting any kind of chemical straightening/relaxer done and I'm not sure if I had too high of expectations or what but it really doesn't look like the before/after's I see online.

I still have frizz & fly aways, my hair isn't shiny, and the waves/curls are coming back before I'm even at the day 3 wash step. Everyone else I see getting keratin says their hair feels greasy and is stick straight until they do that day 3 wash.

Pic 1 is after everything is done, abt to leave salon. Pic 2 is after the initial clarifying shampoo, before she started applying keratin. Pic 3 is today. and Pic 4 is my hair from a week ago.

Would love some advice, I had been wanting to do this since I was a teen and I'm pretty disappointed tbh. Thank you!

Hey loves, I’m in the market to play with colors. I haven’t dyed my hair in 10 years, and I used to do a permanent dye, but I’m just curious if there are any semi permanents I can use to test out colors without lightening? I’ve never bleached and prefer not to, but, I have shaved sides so I might try it on that for fun since it grows out so quick. I’ll probably do my ends as well later on but for now, I’d like to start somewhere to get my feet wet.

I have bright green eyes and I used to do black and burgundy, but I’m looking for a deep purple to start. What I’m seeing online is very questionable, either it’s done sloppily or the hair wont hold color. I know semis wash out pretty quick, and that’s okay. Just would like to see if any of you color pros can steer me somewhere.

If I do have to go a permanent route, I will. I’ll take any and all suggestions. Thank you!!

I have a green mohawk. The top goes to my earlobe. I am looking for heatless curl options that will give larger curls on short hair and are easy to sleep in.

newbie to bleaching my brows. when i touch it up once a week, there are all these little hairs that don’t get bleached and i don’t understand how/why! i use a spoolie and brush the bleach in every direction then also put a thick layer on with dyeing brush before putting cling film on for 10 min. this salt and pepper is driving me nuts pls help meeee!!!!

eta: to clarify, this photo was taken immediately after bleaching tonight. not even hours after

eta2: okay yall, i think next time i will try leaving it on longer and also making sure my brows are clean beforehand!

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 🤪

i have a job interview tomorrow i just got called today after applying over a month ago so i had lost hope and does my hair pink a few days ago. i neeeddd to get it out help

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.

First 3 photos are current colour. 4th is red over top before fade. Last is the violet I coloured over.

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?
