Dying my hair again!?

i am naturally a brunnette with a light tan and big brown eyes. but i have highlighted my hair so many times that people dont know wat color my hair really is. but they say they really like wat color my hair is now. but im not satisfied with the color cuz my eyebrows r dark adn dont match my hair at all. i want my hair all one color woth some some very natural looking highlights. So should i do it? just the color that is at my roots so it will match my dark eyebrows. i would like some pictures pleez!

oh and, im goinmg into 8th grade so i was going to get it done the week before school starts.

Seriously if you want to know what i think,Don't Dye your hair or highlight it. If you highlighted your hair so many times well sorrry to say but you hair is going to be ruined when you get older. It's the truth. I say just keep your natural beauty! It doesn't matter how you look.

Really be careful about dying your hair too much too! It gets fried after so much dying, and fluffy looking.

Use hot oil treatments (available at Walmart) for after, and try not washing your hair everyday! Just every other day. But, if you must wash it, then try just washing the roots and avoiding the tips.

Your only in 8th grade and you've dyed your hair so many times?!! Wow! Leave you hair natural and don't dye anymore...or else you won't have any hair by the time your thirty!

8th grade, and already dyed the hair too much? that's sad. i didn't start until i was in college. you need to stop dying and processing your hair, or you'll ruin it. let your hair breathe!

I tried dying my dark brown hair (level 1-2) to a desired rich medium brown.?

I have a friend who is a beginner stylist that I decided to trust but what a mistake. I have dark brown hair (Asian) and I wanted it a rich medium to dark brown. My friend chose a level 5 and level 6 color and mixed it. I previously have red highlights which were growing out. She used 40 developer and the ends were darker and my highlights were covered but it was not the desired color I wanted. My roots (virgin hair) where new growth was turned out a somewhat lighter brown but in the sunlight it appears red.orange which I do not like. I told my friend and she said she would dye it again (roots only) but without any developer but of course my color would be darker. Is this the correct method to correct the roots? Will this new color without the developer last long?

I knew I should have went to a real prefessional - I have learned my lesson :)

Another question - how soon can I highlight my hair which would require some bleaching before the toner?

Thank you for helping!

It's really good that you let your friend experiment with your hair.

Anyways, because your hair is so naturally dark, it's extremely hard to lighten to a level 6. You can only lift up to 4 levels (MAXIMUM) when your hair is purely virgin. So that would only get you to a level 5, if you're lucky. She should have used lightener on your hair because its colour treated and then toned it to the desired colour. Tell your friend to find out what level the ends of your hair is. (say it's a level 5) So mix a 5N (neutral/natural - because they have a slightly ashy undertone to neutralize the red-orange) with 10 Volume developer ( or 3%, however you guys say it over there) and apply it to the roots. Hopefully this will work. It's really hard to help without being there and seeing how it looks, but this is what I'm going to suggest based on what I'm picturing in my head.

Also, I'd wait a few days before putting highlights in. Just because you've had to colour it twice already. Then with the bleach and toner.. that might be too much.

At least you learned your lesson.

It's hard to tell the colors without actually seeing it... I wouldn't just redo the new growth because it will probably not turn out the same color as the rest of it.. and I have never heard of not using developer? Level 10 just processes so I don't see why she wouldn't just use that? If I was you I would just go dark all over again back to your natural and give your hair a break for a little bit.. and then in a few months if you want to try to go light again go to your regular girl a level 1 or 2 should be dark enough to just cover up everything so that's what I would do for now just to get by for a month or 2.. Hope this helps and ps at least your didn't fall off!!

What is the best shampoo and conditioner for split ends and/or dry/damaged hair?

My hair is highlighted and I have a ton of split ends and my hair is dry/damaged at best. It may look pretty on the outside, but underneath the surface..there are a ton of problems. What shampoo and conditioner do you recomend to me for my hair?
