Help this color looks so extreme bad it was blonde yesterday and I wanted a more lived in color to grow out my roots and they put on a color that was apparently level 7 but it looks extreme dark , high contrast and actually very orange . I told them I don’t want it to be super grey which is why they didn’t put much ash toner but now it looks terrible and don’t know what to do (underneath my hair is extreme blonde and porous so think it grabbed the color way too much ) . I tried to wash it 3/4 times but it’s still this dark

Should I switch from brown to black eyes?

Hi. Thanks for reading this. The title should say "dyes" not "eyes" but I can't edit it.

I've gotten good advice from a couple of people here in the past, so even though there are some sex bots posting lately I'm going to try again.

Those are my roots. I went to a new stylist and asked her to pull through a brown that matched my roots to cover up some lines of demarcation. The color she chose obviously doesn't match and browns always fade to red on my fine hair. Should I switch to black dye? I know it will be jarring until it fades, but the reddish browns and lines of demarcation are looking bad too. What do the experts think?

Is it possible to apply an all over gloss to get from pics 1 to the others?

1 is current

2 is my natural color

3 is what I’d like to achieve with an all over gloss.

4 is another color I wouldn’t mind if 3 isn’t possible.

I’m ok with some gold and strawberry (and have a lot present right now I think) but want to tone it waaaaay down to try and grow in my natural color without a big line.

Is it possible?

Would you recommend mixing two glosses and trying and weave out lighter pieces and apply a different formulation to these?

So the first image was the color my hair was the last time I left my stylist. I went back again after a long while for a trim and to tone my hair cause I had brassiness. I don’t know what happened but man this is not what I wanted. Girl went wild with the scissors. Ended up leaving with a long bob somehow nothing I can do about that really that’s fine. When it comes to the toning though, she said for some reason, my yellow wasn’t lifting out, and she couldn’t figure out why. She decided to add some silver in. Now my hair looks yellow still, and slightly green and it’s so dull and unappealing. I want my icy tone back asap. What do I do?! Please help.

Hiiii guys! I’m looking to dye my hair like the girl in the picture but my hair stylist said she’s had problems with color fading in the past. She can’t seem to find a brand that has colors that will stay vivid more then a few weeks. Do you guys have any suggestions??

Need advice

My daughter’s hair is naturally blonde. At one point about a year ago, she wanted it a cool lighter blonde with some lowlights for dimension. The hairdresser literally bleached her whole head of hair platinum and asked me if she could do a treatment at no extra cost. Basically, she fried her hair. She hated the platinum look, and drastically decided she wanted brown hair. A different hairdresser used semipermanent and she had this awesome cool brunette color. It washed out too fast, so when she went back she asked for demi permanent and a little warmer color. I think (due to lack of knowledge/experience by me and my daughter) what we really should have said was a softer, not too bold brunette rather than warm. Now we are constantly fighting her hair looking orange. She went back and said she wanted cool light brown. Hairdresser used 10 volume and then used a semi permanent color. It looked good, but it went back to this after one wash. Went again. Got another semi. Washes out after one wash except at the roots (that seems to stay darker). She is going back next month and asking for a demi again because semi won’t stay at all. Is there anything we can do at home until she gets in after Christmas to temporarily fix this without causing problems for the hairdresser later? Is there any kind of mask or anything? She doesn’t even mind if it’s dark brown. She just wants to cover up this orange/copper/brassy warmth that is coming through again. Please give me suggestions! Thanks in advance.

Semi permanent split with permanent?

Post image
3 Upvotes

Hi. Recently started seeing someone I grew up with for hair color and I am not sure if she messed up, or if my hair was too messed up for good results.

I have been growing out my grays and decided to do all over color and cover them up, so there is about 5 inches of virgin hair on top of the length of my hair. I used John Frieda foaming color for years before growing it out. I've gone lighter brown once, and bleached my front strip of gray once at least two years ago. It fades out to copper so my hair was coppery and light. I haven't dyed it for over a year.

I'm not sure why she did this, we didn't discuss this before hand, but my colorist decided that since she needed to mix up two bowls to cover my hair, she'd use semipermanent on the bottom and permanent on top. She had some explanation for why and I trusted her. But now that it's fading quickly, I hate it. I feel like a box dye would look better.

So now, my hair doesn't look great. It's split clearly between the fading semi permanent and the permanent on top. There is some damage where the two colors blended, and spotty color as well like she was trying to blend the two colors. She did not wash my hair before coloring either even though I told her I had some product and gray away in my hair. Does she hate me? Do I need a new stylist?

Hey! I’ve been trying to get this hair color forever and I just can’t seem to nail it. It always ends up either too bright, too blue, or too red. I can’t even find a tutorial online that really matches this shade. Does anyone know what dye I should use and how much I’d need to lift to actually get this color? Thanks in advance!

I'm wanting to go back to my natural hair color (the color of my roots in this pic) because keeping up with highlights is just too expensive. This dye looks the closest to my root color, but I'm not sure because it says "blonde" despite looking quite brown. Does anyone have experience with this dye? Should I trust the picture or the name more?

No grey hair. Ever.

3 Upvotes

I am looking for a way to hide grey hairs at all times, I can't bare to have a single one show ever. I have a natural 3 dark brown base and foilyage to about a level 8 warm neutral. I am about 10-20 grey, so not a lot, but I hate it. Currently I get roots tinted about every 8 to 12 weeks and i use the clairol tint touch up kit to do part and any greys I can see every 3 to 4 weeks.

What I'm looking for us a better/alternative solutions, can gloss colours hide greys between salon visits? Will a semi do? Any recommendations for professional products that I can try at home would be appreciated. I'm in Australia, but I'm open to finding out what's available overseas. I'm still planning to maintain my 8 to 12 week tinted schedule, just looking for something to hide them in between! Thank you.

Is my hair brassy

3 Upvotes

I don't know if I'm crazy or my hairstylist is gaslighting me! I think I'm certain lights my hair looks brassy. The person didn't lift my hair enough and I already had to go in to get it fixed. It looks great for the first hair wash but then I guess the toner washes out and it turns like this. She told me not to use purple shampoo because it'll strip the toner but I'm strongly considering it. Also the front doesn't look so bad at times... So what does everyone think?! Does it need to be retoned, relighted, purple shampoo, etc? Ps. The goal was not honey blonde. I wanted my natural color with dimension. I can share a picture if It'll help
