I posted picture recently my current hair color, which I achieved by dyeing is with L’Oreal Sublime Mousse by Healthy Look in #83, Golden Medium Blonde. This was my first experience with a Mousse dye, and it was quite interesting to work with. My Review is Below..
New Hair, New Hair! This summer I decided to give my tresses a bit of a break and go back to my natural color and allow my roots to roam free this summer. I picked up a new dye, L’Oreal’s Sublime Mousse (review coming soon!) in a color identical to my natural shade, and apprehensively applied it over my platinum bleached and pink ended hair. The result was pretty awesome. I then took three of my favorite Special Effects USA shades, Pimpin’ Purple, Deep Purple, and Blue Mayhem, and applied them in that order to the last 1/6th of my hair.
The result was a really awesome cascade.
It’s still a bit of a surprise when I look in the mirror and see my natural color, but I’m really starting to dig it. Enjoy more narcissism via webcam stills after the jump. [Read more...]
Recently, I’ve been trying to remove the purple hair dye out of my locks. I’ve tried several home remedies and tricks I’d learned through the years spent as a dye hard, but I had yet to try the intimidating and daunting, shampoo bleaching.
I’d heard for a while that it can help lift the color of semi-permanent hair dyes (as well as other neat tricks, as posted below) without damaging your hair as much as a full-out bleaching, but I was still a little wary.
But, one day while browsing the local pharmacy, I was feeling bold and sick of my semi-faded hue, so I picked up a packet of bleach..
So I’ve told you that dip-dyeing is really hot right now, I’ve showed you how to narrow down which type of hair dye is for you, how to dye your hair properly with unnatural dyes like Manic Panic and Special Effects, and even how to remove and fade hair dye from home. And now you’ve decided to ditch the neutrals and head for neon pastures, The Color Wheel. But what brand should you choose?
If you follow me on twitter, you’ll know that I’ve been hankerin’ to change my typically purple n’ turquoise locks. My hair has been the same 2 shades for over a year and a half now, and despite changing the cut a few times, I’m ready for a color overhaul. So I visited various hair sites and hunted through tumblr to get hair-inspired.
And I’d like to share with you some of the most popular dye-styles that are hot right now:
Dip-Dyeing is the process of dyeing only the tips of your hair and leaving the rest a natural tone. It’s less damaging that achieving and over-all unnatural color, and is accepted at most workplaces. It’s also low maintenance and has minimal bleeding. Most popular shades for this are bold primary colors like red and blue, or dark shades like forest green.
Recently I was faced with a hair dye dilemma. After previously over-bleaching my hair, and experiencing mega-breakage, I decided to cool it with the chemicals and choose one color and stick with it for a little bit, to give my mane a break. I chose red.
Unfortunately I get bored easily and after having my hair red for only three months, I was way ready for a new color. I decided to go with a mix of Special Effects Hair Dye in Pimpin’ Purple and Fishbowl – an awesome turquoise.
But, I knew my shoulder-length hair wouldn’t stand another bleaching without breaking into a choppy bob. But under my Feria-Box-Red hair color, was blonde waiting to be unleashed and dyed yet again. So I scoured the internet, and decided to try threehome-remedies to see if I could get the dye out of my hair, without resulting to bleach or stripping.
So you’ve always wanted to dye your hair, and you’re not sure if you’re ready to take the plunge. Even if you aren’t planning to go Lizard Green, or Bleach Blonde, you still may be wary of adding those few highlights or changing your shade completely.
That’s where we come in.
There are different dyes out there, and different ways to dye. By being informed about all of the choice options you can make a decision you won’t regret, whether going from Copper to Bronze or Brunette to Cobalt Blue.
There are 3 different types of hair dye. Temporary, Semi-Permanent, and Permanent. We are going to list the color options and limitations, level of commitment, and any other important facts about that type.
Almost every time I go out, I get asked how I get my purple hair to stay so bright. Sometimes I even get asked if it’s my hair. yup, it totally is. And I totally rock at keeping it that color.
I figured I’d finally post my super-secret tips and techniques, because not only do I hate being asked when I’m trying to get my drunk on, but one of my biggest pet peeves is grungy, faded neon hair colors.
So here are my top tips on how to dye your hair NEON COLORS with brands such as Manic Panic Hair Dye, Special Effects Hair Dye, Directions, Punky Color, Splat, etc. and to make it Fade-Proof.
If you follow these tips properly, you’re more than likely going to have to bleach your roots and dye them before you’ll need to dye your hair again.
