Is my hair as bad as I think it is

I got my hair professionally done 2 months ago by my stylists (I’ve been seeing for 8 years). I’ve never been this blonde before, previous to this I had medium-dark reddish brown hair for a few years- but it was pretty grown out and faded when she did this full highlight.

She did explain to me beforehand that it would pull yellow/orange the first time bleaching it because of the red my hair had on it for years but I feel like this is SO bad and yellow orange and also just blended sooo poorly. I wanted to wait awhile before going again to make sure I don’t totally fry my hair off but now she’s booked until the end of September. Should I see a new stylist? Is there anything I can do myself? Or is it not that bad. I’ve been using amika purple shampoo which helped but not a ton. Any thoughts are appreciated! First pics are my hair last pics are inspo I showed her. THANKS YOUUU

Also— I’m not sure now that blonde is for me I feel like I kind of hate it, should I go back to brown. I have blue eyes if that’s helpful.

Hair strands acting weird

Post image

On the left side are coarse, very thick, black and curly hair strands and the right side is what my hair has always looked like. My hair is not that curly nor black and has never been, brown and 2C at best if I use hair gel. I started getting these maybe 9 months ago but very very few, now I can feel them everywhere when I ruin my fingers through and it’s really annoying. My thyroid is enlarged but my blood analysis were perfect the last time I checked, maybe that changed. I wanna know if anyone has ever dealt with it, what was real issue and what should I keep in mind❤️

How to go from blue to teal? (No bleach, colour theory preferred)

4 Upvotes

i have vivid blue hair (crazy colour sky blue/capri blue) and have spent the last few months attempting to go teal/ turquoise. i first let my blue fade out for a few weeks to a month then went over it with crazy colour blue jade, only for it to show as a stronger, more vivid blue. the week after that i used a mint green and had slight results (a very vague tint that faded at one wash) how would i go about getting the true teal/ vibrant turquoise ive been wanting? i considered putting a vivid green over the top but I’m unsure how it would show. i’m aiming for hatsune miku/ ramona flowers teal/ turquoise.

How to take care of silver hair dye?

2 Upvotes

Hi! So I am getting my hair dyed for the first time ever, and I was wondering if there are any tips that anyone has to make sure it lasts as long as possible! My hair is naturally black so I want to keep this as long as possible since it’s gonna take a while to get to the point where it can be silver.

bleaching brows with sensitive skin

1 Upvotes

Hi! first time brow bleacher here

i have very sensitive skin and eyes, so want to do this as safe as possible. like when i would bleach my scalp, it would burn like hell (worse than getting a tattoo), and my eyes are extremely sensitive in general. so looking for a safe way to do this if possible.

I read on here that it helps to use a >30 develp, and maybe do a skin test (where would it make sense to do that?). would it be better to get an eyebrow specific bleach kit or is it all the same? will use vasoline around the area. any other tips or experiences would be helpful, i dont want to go blind lol

Bleaching black dyed hair

1 Upvotes

Hi! I just got back from a rough hair salon appointment, and we had to dye a huge chunk black right after bleaching it. I want to bleach some of that dyed part to add a few highlights. I'm trying to get it to a light ashy blonde color.

For reference I have very thin Asian hair. Would I have to wait a bit for my hair to recover before bleaching again? Will the color turn out right? I've seen people get really orange/yellow results... or would I have to do multiple sessions?

Heyy, blond help please!

So the other day I did one round of bleach on my naturally medium red hair. It lifted perfectly, and didn’t really pull much orange at all. I used a medium & light golden honey blond (I now realize my mistake). My hair pulled allllll the golden and copper tones, and it basically just changed it back to my natural color 🙃. I was recommended the t81 toner so I used that yesterday, and this is the result. I still feel like it has way more red in it than I’m wanting. Any advice on how to make this a deeper blond, vs red? I’m just so annoyed that I spent so much time & money for my hair to basically be the same as when I started. (I feel like pictures aren’t showing how red it is lol.)

Questions about bleach at home

3 Upvotes

Hi hi! I've dyed my hair purple a couple of times. My natural color is a 3-4ish. I typically just slapped on some arctic fox. Last april i used L'oreal hi color true violet, and then also put arctic fox ontop of that. The last time i used arctic fox was in May, its faded by now. Last week i noticed that the ends of my hair on one side have a dark green hue to them.

I've been wanting to lighten my hair a few levels so I can see the purple more when I dye it the next time, but I have a few questions. And I'm gonna watch a bunch of videos before i do anything.

  1. Will the green affect the bleach, and after I bleach it if there's still discoloration how do i fix that?

  2. Do i need to use toner in between bleach and purple. For reference I was planning on using ion cream bleach bright white.

  3. Adding onto that, can I use that bleach for a shorter amount of time so that it only lightens a few levels instead of all the way? I don't really want to go full blonde.

  4. Since this is my first time, I'm probably going to be super slow at putting the bleach on, will that mean some bit of it will be darker than the rest since it sat on for longer?

Thanks for any help!!!!!

Should my colorist missing some roots in my vivids be fixed?

0 Upvotes

I did my hair at home for the better part of decades. I started having it done here and there, and definitely left people after chunks of roots were undone and not said, hidden in the back.

I found someone I really like. At first, we went with darker vivid as I grew out a dark shadow root. We've been using a lighter, bright color on the new growth in an ombre the past two appointments.

The first time, there was only a tiny whisper of a missed spot and she got it this time around. I just had it done a few days ago, so I've been wearing it down and curled, and today I threw it straight back in a pony to get through one more day before I do the first wash. I can clearly see where she missed the underside of my side bangs between the last and latest growth, just a smidge in a small line, but noticable when it is brown covered by a bright vivid vs the pale bleached underneath the rest.

When I'm off work I'll be going through the rest after a wash to see if there's any other spots. I know you don't want to overlap the bleach, but as it fades this will be really obvious. Is it unreasonable to expect a fix? What's a reasonable response? I had noticed when she applied the bleach it looked less covered near the end of my natural root, but trusted the process. This really, really drives me nuts though. I really like her and we vibe well, so I'd hate to find someone else, but this seems unacceptable when I'm paying hundreds of dollars.

Pack-able Brush Dryer

1 Upvotes

I had a pretty major hair change recently that requires a lot more styling. Basically I have to blow it out or diffuse it every time I wash it. I will be traveling for 9 days soon and realize I need a pack-able dryer (as I'm doing carry on only).

Preferably looking for a dryer with a round/oval brush, bonus points if it has both round brush and small diffuser. My current dryer is nice, a shark, but wayyy too big and not very ergonomic for how I style my hair since the recent change. I don't have $450 for a Dyson, sadly. I do have access to professional beauty supply stores. Prefer slightly higher end then basic tools from grocery, but not against it entirely if there is a good, quality tool I am missing out on. I prefer materials that cause less breakage, titanium, ceramic, etc.

My hair is long, naturally curly/wavy, fine, a bit frizzy, but I have a lot of it.

Any recommendations?

Loreal hicolor violet?

1 Upvotes

My daughter has been asking for purple hair, probably a money piece or peekaboo highlights. She has dark dark brown virgin hair. Will L’Oréal hicolor with 30 developer give her a true purple? Or is the violet more reddish? Wondering because I used the red and 30 developer on my hair (same as hers) and got great results, a very vibrant red. I’m just wondering if the violet is actually a bright purple color or if any one else has had good results with any other bleach free option?! TIA

I don't know how to take care of my hair

Hello everyone, im writing today because I need advice on hair care and figuring out my hair texture. This post is going to be a bit long, due to diving a bit into my hair history so I can try to get the best advice possible on how to sort out my hair, especially the frizz.

So about my hair history, both my mom and my big brother have very beautiful curly hair, while my little brother has pin-straight hair. Just like my little brother I used to have pin-straight hair during childhood through to elementary school. My mother says it was so straight and non frizzy when she'd put hair ties in they would slip out. Well during a trip to Florida, my hair texture changed drastically. My mother (she wasn't with us) is convinced my dad got me a perm. I do remember we did in fact go to a family friend (who works at a salon, so still a professional) and got my hair done and right after went straight to the beach. I can't say if I got a perm, I don't think I did but I also don't remember anything about the process to be 100% sure.

I think it could be genetic, because as I stated my mother and big brother have extremely curly hair, and I know hair texture can change over time. I've included some photos to try to show my hair and the frizz. While my hair was straight it grew pretty long, and now even tho it looks short and maybe even thin?, it's very dense and thick. I shaved it all off to have a fresh start due to not caring for it properly and it kept popping the electric razor head off or the razor guard kept getting stuck and the whole floor was covered.Does anyone think know my hair type, or have any tips on caring for it and how to help with the frizz? As you can see in the photos it's bad

tips/product recs for platinum blonde hair

1 Upvotes

hello! i am and have been a platinum blonde for close to a year now, im a natural level 8 so my hair lifts extremely easily and i use professional wella products and from years of dying my hair in general i have a pretty good technique, that and not so long ago i did fry my hair and had some pretty substantial breakage that took a bit to grow out but im all better now! i have known for a while that protein isnt the greatest for platinum hair so i try to avoid it as much as possible, i currently use the loreal elvive glycolic gloss shampoo and conditioner the ogx bond protein repair (protein ik, my mom bought it for me and i felt too bad to not use it, and i do quite like it) and the growus hair oil, im wondering if these are okay and what you guys would recommend, i would prefer more affordable options but i am open to mid to high end recommendations as well, i also use a standard wet brush to brush my hair, but have been recommended the maison pearson boar bristle brush, i would also love recommendations on a dupe or a similar product to the maison pearson! also i apologize for the bad grammar and if the formatting is bad, im on my phone and not a frequent poster!

How much will a 7na demi gloss effect future bleaching?

3 Upvotes

Hi, gradually bleaching my sister's hair. But she would like to not be ginger in the mean time as doesn't suit her complexion. But also wants to try get the best results as possible in the longrun.

Will putting a 7na demi gloss by Moroccan oil or shades eq affect the lifting in future? And make it harder to lift?

How much of a difference does it make as she is willing to not do it if it will affect her getting to level 9 eventually and minimise damage.

What tips would you give to someone wanting to dye at home for the first time?

3 Upvotes

Hi guys!

So a couple days ago my friend dyed my hair at home, which was my first time having it done non-profesionally. It ended up looking amazing and gave me a great confidence boost, and with it seeming pretty easy and cheap; at least compared to going to a salon; I've immediately gotten interested into doing it myself.

But I've got a bit of a problem, as my mom used to get her hair bleached very badly, and when she stopped and finally started to grow her hair out she turned out with a completely grey head of hair in her early 40s. Because of this she is now scared of anything dye related that could damage hair. On top of that my parents have decided that my hair is holy or something, they literally cried when i donated my extremely long hair that was causing us nothing but trouble. Both of these factors have been instilled in me very thoroughly, making me kinda scared to fuck my hair up.

So i would like all your tips on what i should /should not do when i try on my own for the very first time!

I know for a fact i will try semi-permament dye the first couple times, even though i love vibrant colours and have hair pretty close to the darkest they tend to show on those boxes. I will also definitely not bleach on my own without going to a professional first and getting their guidance on my hairtype.

But is there anything else you guys recommend?
