I tried out Cosmic Void after looking at a few swatches of the different purples. There aren’t many videos to reference unfortunately! I ended up choosing Pluto Plum. It’s a very blue based purple and I love it. The stains come out easily from my bathtub, it seems to fade not as quickly as IroIro as well.

Love it..

On Thursday we bleached my virgin hair and dyed it blue. It was supposed to be a true, navy blue but a lot of it ended up teal because of the warmth. I wish she had warned me that we may not achieve the color I asked for, but I can live with it and understand it’s color theory.

The problem is that I’ve only washed once since then (on Sunday, I waited so I didn’t accidentally stain someone’s tub while traveling) and can see bits of the blonde poking through. Like is it just me, or does this already look lived in??

The stylist had recommended using Overtone at home to reapply color when needed, but doing that within a week of the appointment feels like I’m shouldering the burden instead of the professional. Should I ask her to apply a glaze at no cost? Is this normal for vivids or for the first time bleaching dark hair? I did a similar thing a few years back with the same stylist and don’t remember noticing the blonde so early, but I have had other quality issues with her recently for the first time in 10 years.

gonna be using iroiro purple 20 + lunar tides cerulean sea + arctic fox transylvania black

(im aware of transylvania’s rep, i’m using it intentionally because it tends to fade purple and green)

Hi everyone, I’m looking for some help. I’m currently a minty green (pic 1) and I’m getting very bored of it.

I’ve once put a 2:1 ratio blue:purple mix into my hair and gotten a deep indigo color (see picture 2) which faded out back into my current mint in about 3 weeks.

I want to do something two toned or just different to my hair without bleaching anything other than my roots but I don’t want to be dark blue again and want some stark contrast.

I’ve attached some inspiration pics I’ve found on Pinterest and am looking for advice on what would sit best on my hair and how i could achieve it.

All tips appreciated! <3

Hi, friday i did a full bleach and ended up with this color, I did do a lavender toner but it doesn't seem to have helped as much as I hoped (probably because I should have done an ash/blue one) but now im wondering if I should do a bleach bath to lighten a bit more before I do a T14 toner, thoughts?

I would like an icy light blonde if possible but I know it might not be but I do want it to not be as warm. I started with super dark brown virgin hair.

Update! I went for it and used ColorZap on my 2+ year-old black box dye and this is the before vs. after. I honestly cannot believe how much of the black came out. It lifted basically all of the old black to a really warm copper/orange, with some darker/redder areas throughout.

What I really wasn’t expecting was for it to lighten my natural hair too. The instructions specifically say “Natural hair cannot be lightened with ColorZap” and tell you not to apply it to new growth. I tried to avoid my natural hair, but with how much growth I had and doing it myself, I accidentally overlapped onto quite a bit of it. It definitely lightened it and some of my natural red/auburn (idk my exact hair colour lol) turned noticeably lighter/golden.

Now I’m trying to decide what to do next. I originally bought age beautiful 8RC, but after seeing how much it lifted, part of me actually likes the copper and wonders if I should just leave it alone for now incase the dye comes out really red instead of closer to my natural colour. It’s definitely uneven and very warm, but my biggest goal was getting rid of the black without having to cut off all the length I’ve spent two years growing. I want to eventually get my money pieces and highlights back in my hair.

Hey I’m not super knowledgable on hair so I thought I would ask here. 

I got my hair bleached and dyed pink about 2 months ago. The bleach wasn’t completely even and my hair still had some browner streaks but they were pretty much all covered by the pink. The pink has washed out now and now my hair is this yellowish blonde which I don’t hate except for the fact that there are random brown streaks in it. I want to redye my hair to a lighter pink so I was wondering if I can bleach my hair again to get rid of the darker spots so it doesn’t show up in the pink. Can I do this? What bleach would be best? Thanks :)

I would like to change my hair without bleaching it. Which color do you think would go over this nicely? It’s bright red, more pink than orange.

i was a bleach blonde for a bit and have done every color under the sun EXCEPT for a lot of colors all at once. it didn’t turn out perfect but i’m kinda obsessed with it regardless !!

it’s my first time trying demi-permanent dye on a wig! i originally ordered this hair in a chocolatey-ginger sort of color. which was great, but then i wanted to change it up and go darker. however, i’m still very much loving avoiding plain 1b hair. so, i bought the dye pictured below from the supermarket, and i love the way my hair looks! i am by no means a professional, so there are probably mistakes 🤣 i think my mistakes look cool though, because it just looks dimensional. but anyway, my wig took the dye like a champ, and it’s still so glossy and thick. the best part? because i used semi-permanant, my hair will get lighter as i wash, and then i can choose what shade of brown [or ginger!] i want to play with next.  i definitely will be using demi-permanent dye from now on. 

Yesterday I got the underside of my hair bleached and dyed pink for the first time. Hair doesn’t feel damaged at all or anything. I get keratin treatments every 6 months ish and need to get one before I leave the country on the 10th. Do I have time? How many days should I wait?

Im a guy with very curly hair, and I have a little length. I know I need specific shampoo, maybe a hair mask, maybe specific conditioner, I kept seeing k18 pop up, but I’m not sure on the specifics. I know it’s different for most people, but I could use recommendations

Im beginner when it comes to bleaching/colouring hair and I’m a bit confused about the difference between toner and permanent hair dye.

I’ve managed to get my hair to a level 9 (very light blonde), and my goal is a platinum/very cool blonde. At this point I’m not really sure what I’m supposed to use next.

From what I understand, toner is supposed to remove the yellow/brassy tones, while dye actually changes the hair colour more permanently?? my question is and I’m still confused about when you would choose one over the other? wouldn't it be better to just dye it to plat permanently?

Hi all. I have brown hair and got balayage a few months ago so it’s grown out a bit. I really want to try the Kristin Ess copper penny gloss but I am worried it will come out patchy because of the blonde in my hair. I have never done a gloss before. Any advice?

I’ve been growing out black box dye for about two years now and I’m honestly getting so tired of waiting for it to completely grow out. I really don’t want to cut off all the length I’ve managed to grow either.

The black hasn’t been touched in about two years, so everything you can see growing in is my natural colour and the darker lengths are the old black and red dye. It has definitely faded quite a bit.

I have L’Oréal ColorZap and I’m wondering if anyone has used it on really old black box dye like this? I know black is notoriously difficult to remove, but since mine hasn’t been dyed in two years, would I have a decent chance of getting enough of it out to re dye with AGEbeautiful 8RC Strawberry Blonde? I am trying to get my hair all one colour and wanted to use a gloss but couldn’t find a gloss my colour. I’m scared of the dye turning out really red instead of my natural colour as well.

Any tips or recommendations?

Hi All,

Does anyone mix toners? I wanted to try something a little different this time after I bleach my roots.

Last time I did it my hair pulled some gray / blue that I was digging but once I washed my hair it was gone. I used just Blondme Toner last time.

I was going to try Ion Creme Toner in Snow Cap this time and possibly Ion Creme Toner in lavendar moon.

What ya'll think? Just stick with the snow cap? If you do mix them what's the ratio? I have really good bleach now so my roots always lift white and fast. The rest I'm working on trimming so it all evens out. It doesn't really bother me though, been doing my own hair for years. Moral of the story - I'm not looking for salon perfect results. Thanks so much!!

Did this not take or is it just me?

My hair is normally pin straight and fine. I was so excited to have wavy hair, but I feel like it really fell flat.

(I got it 5 hours prior to this photo being taken)

Would my hair turn orange if i put a really bright neon pink over it without bleaching?

I already had pink before, but i went from pink to orange to yellow(pic one my current hair). I wanna do pink with green now(like the colours in pic 2&3). Im not worried about the green, im just scared maybe the pink will go slightly orange.

When i went from orange to yellow i bleached the ends again cuz i was just trying to slightly lift the orange but it was an extremely hot day and the bleach processed a lot quicker, so my hair got REALLY dry and i lost quite a bit of length. This was atleast 2 months ago and i take really good care of my hair so its basically back to normal, if not better then before. But i dont want this to happen again.

I tried a bleach bath before but nothing happened? I didnt mix up the bleach before adding the shampoo and i think maybe that messed it up and caused the bleach not to work. Maybe i could try that again? I just wanna do the least amount of damage to my hair. Also, would something like pre toning work? Ive seem ppl on tiktok do it by mixing their dye with some warm water.

I washed my hair with hot water and used a clarifying shampoo to get a lot of the yellow out, it was a lot brighter before. Honestly i think a bright pink would definitely pick up on my hair, i just dont want it to turn too orange!!! Thank you

I just got some red highlights done on my hair, and it just hit me that I don’t have a good color safe shampoo to treat dandruff. I’m prone to dandruff and normally use an anti-dandruff shampoo to treat my scalp. But now that I have these red highlights, I need an anti-dandruff shampoo that’s color safe and won’t quickly fade the red color. I know that red tends to fade faster compared to other colors and I’m sure using a generic anti-dandruff shampoo like head and shoulder would definitely make things worse. Does anyone have any suggestions or holy grail products that helped them?

hello !

i would like to dye my long hair kind of auburn before chopping it all of. the desired result is the first picture and the second picture is a reference to what my current hair looks like ( a little darker on the roots). extra notes: my hair is fine pin straight and virgin

i would be grateful for any help i don't do hair changes by myself often and i'm scared to get an end result that's either too orange or too dark. thank you so so much !

Hello, I need some advice for when to get my roots done.

I used to get them done every 2 months but my main goal is to have long hair so I stopped for a year, only dyeing the length pink.
Then I went back to the hair dresser to get the very long roots done, and go pink aswell.
Now I waited 6 months and have a new appointment for the roots again.

My question is : is waiting 6 months minimum to get the roots done a good idea ? does it really helps my hair grow and not damage them (i ofc do treatments at home such as k18 or olaplex)
Or is it the same in the end to get them done every 2 months as I used to do ?
Or in the end is it the same anyway ?
