r/HairDye

GUYSSSE idk what i was thinking dye the ends auburn brown but i had a lot of dye so i went for it anyway 🤷🏾‍♀️ once again, im still trying to get to a color that resonates with my skin color. Atleast i dyed my roots and brows darker bc i definitely was NOT rocking the blonde color.

But what do yall think…..should i bleach the ends since thats the hardest to get lighter or is this hair color fine?😭 im gonna wash my hair in the next 20 mins or so then blow dry it to see the final outcome.

so, i made some poor choices a few months ago and decided to dye manic panic voodoo blue over my naturally blonde hair hoping for it to wash out within a few weeks.

spoiler alert, it didn't and I grow to despise this shade of teal within a month. I put baking soda on my hair, vinegar, dish soap, nothing make a dent. it just became more and more seasick green

I then used guy tang striptease w lvl 10 developer which then definitely took a lot of color out but also bleached all my new growth, so i now had like 3 different colors on my head

then I decided to bite the bullet and finally go to a professional, we did a bleach bath, various hair removers, nothing seemed to work so we just went in with a full bleach (which I was terrified of as I have curly hair+heard that bleaching makes green harder to get out)

but it worked like a charm! my curls were still intact, and she put a glaze over it so it now looks almost identical to my natural hair (yes I did have to cut a lot of damage off tho)

sometimes I'll just think to myself "I'm so happy I don't have green hair anymore" even now

Went from blonde to chocolate brown and now I’m unsure — looking for honest advice! 💇‍♀️🤎
Hi everyone! I’m looking for some honest opinions and advice about my hair because I’m feeling a little unsure about my recent colour change.
I’ve had blonde hair for years, but recently decided to try chocolate brown because I wanted a change. However, the result looks a little more purple than chocolate brown to me, which isn’t quite what I had in mind.
I have quite fair/pale skin, and I’m starting to wonder whether the darker colour actually suits my complexion or whether blonde suited me better. I think part of it might be the shock of seeing myself with such a different hair colour after having blonde for so long, but I’m struggling to tell whether I genuinely like it or just need more time to get used to it.
I’ve also had issues with changing my hair colour in the past, where I’ve felt unsure about whether I made the right decision, so I’m trying not to rush into another change before figuring out what actually suits me best.
I’m open to different options and would love advice on which hair colours would complement my skin tone the most. I’m not necessarily set on staying brunette or going back to blonde; I just want to find a colour that suits my complexion and makes me feel confident!
I’d really appreciate honest opinions, especially from hairdressers or anyone who knows about hair colour and skin tones.
A few questions:
Do you think chocolate brown suits fair/pale skin, or can it make you look washed out?
Does my current colour look more purple than brown?
Which hair colours do you think would complement my skin tone best?
Do you think I should give my current colour more time, change the tone to a more natural chocolate brown, or consider going back to blonde?
Has anyone else struggled with changing their hair colour and felt unsure whether it suited them?
I’m genuinely looking for advice and different options rather than just reassurance. I want to make the best decision for myself instead of constantly changing my hair because I’m unsure!
I’ve added a few pics of me with the blonde at different shades, one is a pic from last year when I tried going a light brown and the last few are of me currently.
Thank you! ❤️

Long story short, I have black box dye in my hair. I used color oops twice yesterday and then put some Rainbow Research brand henna in the shade mahogany in my hair. My roots are brighter than the rest of my hair as you can see, and the rest lifted a little but is still really dark. Would it be an issue if I go in with another round of color oops today even though I have henna in my hair? I want to get another layer of black box dye out so that I can go in with some more henna and so it’ll be more visible. What do you guys think? Any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated :)

Edit: I do know that henna is permanent and I can’t ever get my hair done another color. I’ve been wanting to be a redhead for so long and ever since I heard about henna, I knew I wanted to use it. I just want to make it more visible and the stupid black box dye is ruining it for me :(

I’m starting grad school and won’t be able to afford professional coloring anymore. I used to dye my hair color and then started going back to my natural level 6 with some added warmth (growing out) and highlights.

I was wondering if there’s a way I could get it to copper using an at home demi permanent or maybe henna?

I’m afraid to use permanent box dye.

First photo is my hair and second is what I’d ideally want.

Hi all,

I had a t section of foils done today last minute due to waking up and not feeling up to doing my hair (have been doing my own foils for 2 years). I have been to the salon I used before however not for a long time and not to this hairdresser.

I asked for foils to match my current hair just taking it up to the root, I took my extensions in which are being fitted for reference.

As it was short notice they said they could not do a root tap or a toner which I said was fine and would sort it out myself.

I need help with how to tone this white freshly bleached section to the rest of my golden blonde.

Usually I just use use a semi perm box dye blonde to tone my hair- if it even needs it. This contrast is beyond my remit and I need some advice please in colour choice and application.

Products will need to be available in Boots or Superdrug etc. I have a work trip abroad on Monday so need to sort it ASAP.

Thanks in advance.

i dyed my hair red at a salon 2 days ago, i showed the hair stylist the 2nd pic which is the burgundy red i wanted, but i have horrible luck with hair dyeing jobs by salons so it ended up this bright red colour. would anyone happen to know if this will fade to a burgundy ish shade or should i pick up some dye at the store and try to fix it myself?

... I did NOT mean to get this purple 😅

first pic is my amazing stylist's work when we first went smoky lavender!! I absolutely love it, and I was using the keracolor lavender conditioner to help maintain it. which was going well, but I ran out, so I went to Sally beauty to pick up some more. but I wanted a mask, something a little thicker and more conditioning on my hair. I did want something a LITTLE more purple, because my hair primarily faded to a pinky brown.

for some FUCKING REASON I decided to pick up the xmondo "super purple" color depositing mask. don't ask me why. I think I thought it wouldn't deposit THAT MUCH because the keracolor didn't ever deposit THAT MUCH. so I guess I was thinking, "oh, this'll deposit just a bit more purple and it'll be perfect."

I LOOK LIKE GRAPE JELLY 😅

please laugh with me. and maybe tell me how many times I need to shower to NOT look like grape jelly. I kind of can't wait for this to be gone.

uhhhh. 5/5 stars for working as advertised!!!

So I accidentally dyed my hair too dark with box dye about two months ago. A few days ago I tried to lighten it with a light brown dye, didn’t work very well. And yesterday I did cap highlights, they turned out fine. Anyway. I really want to get my hair to like a light golden brown/honey blonde. I’ve been looking into things. So far I’ve seen people use garnier caramelo blonde or use light golden blonde and a honey brown dye with developer. I’m not sure what would be my best move.. I was also thinking maybe I need to color oops first just to get the dark dye out of my hair before doing anything else. I’m also doing this on a budget but any recommendations are helpful. Pictures are of what my hair is and what I want it to be.

I am at a loss. Probably because I will be doing it at home. And my hair is fine, will grab like crazy. AI said the blond was my best choice (single picture one) but I am not a fan of blond hair in general. And I would definitely have to go to a salon to get it to look anywhere near that.

And heads up, my hair is not this strong anymore. I yelled at AI to stop thickening my hair and lengthening my neck to no avail. 😁 😉

Hi so I tried dying my hair 2 colors, green at the bottom and black at the top. Luckily I tested it out lol! Im wondering why the hell the black is yellow!? This is right after I washed the dye out and the dye was just bought so its not old. So confused need help
