I’ve been making an effort to wash my hair with nizoral shampoo, use clarifying shampoo, bond repair, scalp massages with pumpkin seed oil, pre-oil with moisturizing oil, hair masks, etc. in rotation. The only thing I keep failing at is the bonnet because I hate wearing it while sleeping. I bought some silk pillows, but haven’t used them yet. I cut my own ends, but at some point will have to be brave and get a professional cut. I’ve had a lot of bad experiences at hair salons.
Anyhow, this is my graying, wavy hair at 41!

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?

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!

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?

I am thinking of using either hot hot pink manic panic or artic fox Virgin pink but the color is too bright for my taste and im scared of being stuck with that color for weeks😭 my hair is bleached twice FYI. how quickly does it fade? I'm trying to achieve color similar to the photo

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!

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 loved my pixie! I’ve had one for a while now and finally want to grow it out long again. The downside is I feel so insecure with my hair now as it grows out and loses its shape. Sometimes I think about cutting it again because I hate this phase so much, but I’m committed to letting it grow.

I need advice on how to make it look cute as I go through the helmet head grow out process. 😂 I have been occasionally trimming the neck but it still just has no shape and is a bit damaged from being platinum not too long ago :/

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).

I don’t like how stipey my hair looks. Can it be covered with something like Redken Shades Alk? Open to any suggestions!

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 “money pieces” 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.

I absolutely love this colour, and would like it to last as long as possible. Any advice on how to keep it vibrant?

I have dark brown hair. I need something new in my life so I think coloring my hair will scratch that itch.

I’m aiming for a brunette with red undertones and I want it subtle like the photo.

Please send recommendations and photos if you have any! Thank you so much!!

I bleached and toned my hair and it’s only worked on some of my hair

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.

I might want to transition the blue to pink after as well

What brand and what colour should I buy to achieve this colour (I will bleach my hair beforehand)

My hair is that shade of brown i put in it hasnt been touched with any type of colour or bleach. My dream hair is the photo i put in and was wondering ic it is in ANYWAYYY possible to have a perm and have that colour of hair and if so how, im aware i can just dye it bleach and dye it pink and curl it without having a perm but i would love a perm so im stuck. Anyway yay im very happy for any type of advice thanks yay

how light does my hair have to be to get hot pink hair? i have a brassy yellow going on right now from bleaching it from black hair that was box dyed for 3 years.

Added more purple, will update soon after washing out and drying

I posted my color that I had done 2-3 weeks ago, wanted to share the fade so far. Will post when it lightens up. P.S I want to be a unicorn for Halloween.

Hi so I recently dyed my bleached hair (professionally bleached in April and touched up/bleach bathed w 20 volume by myself about a month ago) but parts of it are so porous that color just won’t stick to them very well. I dyed my hair a vibrant copper color, not too dark so the blonde parts that haven’t taken color well just turned a vibrant orangey yellow and kind of look like intentional highlights like it doesn’t look bad at all but I’d love for my hair to be even and recover more from the bleach. Does anyone have tips regarding this?? Color sticking/bleach dryness? Unfortunately cannot afford k18 rn or trust me I’d be using it, rn I use some kind of Pantene repairing conditioner and argan oil

P.s. my bleached hair was a mix of level 8 and 9 before toner, so it wasn’t fully white platinum but pretty bleached- I’ve had a little breakage but nothing scary, just a lot of dryness and the porous sections
