First time doing two colors at home

Second time dying my own hair, I thought one color looked kind of lazy and this was the result. I found a pretty good technique for the back where you place a webcam behind your head and have your big monitor in front so it's easy to see where the dye is. Just applied the blue first and then did the rest purple with a little mixing, no combs. Took about two hours and I was able to do it without staining my dorm communal showers (low and slow lol) I could post better pics but you'd have to give me a good reason

Colors are Arctic Fox Purple AF and Poseidon

Not So Edgy Coloring - Please Help!

I’m not a fan of my recent dye job. I wanted edgy, but I got “edgy for a mom.”

What should I do, without going back to a salon? I’m thinking brunette should be black and maybe go with an orange for the blonde?
Please help me! I don’t want to look a fool but I’m just not feeling this.

I want to try extensions for thicker hair but Ive got vibrant colors.

Okay so I have 3 or 4 different color layers In my hair and I want to try some tape/clip on extensions so I can get some volume. My natural hair color is brown.

My question is- would brown look okay with my hair color or should I try to color match my already dyed hair?

Picture included. (I know it's greasy, I'm trying to get some protein built up)

Open to any advice about my hair at all really.

Going from bleached/purple hair back to natural dark brown at home, am i doing this right?

PLEASE HELP!!!! Hi! I’m planning to dye my hair today and just want to check that I’m going about this correctly before I start.

My hair is chest-length and medium thickness, and it’s been bleached and dyed multiple times. My natural roots are a medium-to-dark ash brown, I have light blonde money pieces and bangs, and the mid-lengths and ends are a dusty plum/mauve with pink-purple tones.

I want to get my whole head back to one natural-looking dark brown, as close to my natural colour as possible. I really want to avoid anything too warm, red, orange, copper, or greenish/muddy.
These are the products I have:

2 × Wella Color Charm Permanent Cream Hair Colour 5N Light Brown (57 g each)
1 × Wella Color Charm Permanent Cream Hair Colour 6G Hazel Blonde (57 g)
Wella Color Charm 10 Volume Cream Developer

I’m hoping to use what I’ve already bought. My understanding is that the blonde sections might need to be filled before going brown, but I’m not sure whether the 6G I bought is suitable for that or whether I’m going about this completely wrong.
I’ll attach photos of my current hair in natural daylight.

Am I on the right track with these products, or am I about to make a massive mistake? I’d really appreciate an honest opinion before I start colouring it!

Is this normal or was my hair done poorly?

I have a bleached underhalo, and yesterday I got my hair done again after many months of regrowth. I'm feeling unhappy with the results and am reaching out to the salon to discuss further, but I don't want to complain about something that's normal/unavoidable.

You can very clearly see the line between the old and the new bleached areas - the hair goes from a warm tone to a very cool one. Is this inevitable since my hair had been bleached there previously, or did the stylist miss important steps that would have allowed for a smooth transition? (She also recommended this specific toner colour, in case that's relevant)

The second photo is just to contextualize that I think there were multiple issues with the stylist's approach - I had asked for a very smooth transition between the roots and the bleached area so I could grow it out without having to maintain anything.

Covering pink hair for a wedding?

I am a bridesmaid in a wedding next weekend. The bride has asked me to cover the pink highlights in my hair (ignore how rough my hair looks here)… i was thinking I could get something like temporary brown root cover and put it on the big chunks of hair. Does anyone have any other ideas that would not mess up the pink underneath?
