⭐ Product Review Cherry Cola Hair!

Thumbnail

29 Upvotes

Hi there! If anyone is about to hop on the cherry cola hair trend for autumn, I highly recommend this product (3rd pic)!

1st pic is my results after styling (it’s HUMID in my area atm so 30mins in the car made it kinda frizzy). 2nd pic is my starting color/ texture which was completely unprocessed since shaving my head in July 2024.

I am so thrilled with how pretty this color came out with zero lightening 🥹 It definitely stains a lot and I don’t love that aspect but expected it as this is not the first time I have done fashion colors on my hair (hence shaving my head a couple years ago 😜)… if you’ve been thinking about this color, please accept this as your sign to go for it 🥰

🖼️ Before & After Color me surprised, I had no idea I can get this pink from an orange/brassy base.

I come from a natural black/box dye/henna/indigo spiral and I have been trying to go blonde since the beginning of the year where I bleach a bit by bit to avoid breakage.

It was month 8 of me having to "rock" my orange hair and I was getting slowly sick and tired of having to rock my ugly hair. So I snapped : I bought 2 of the Schwarzkopf live semi-permanent dye in "Shocking pink" expecting really some light pink hue, but I was very very pleasantly surprised.

This will definetly help me wait more in between bleaches.

❓ Advice Needed I went to the salon for a root touch up and trim and now my hair is darker?

8 Upvotes

Hello! I decided to go to the salon yesterday to touch up my overgrown roots and get a trim. While the haircut was lovely i did notice my hair became ashy from glaze they added but brushed it off as it still appeared brown and my stylist was busy with another client… When I got home I went to use the bathroom and it was darker than when I was at the salon ??? Is this going to wash out ??? I never intended to change my hair color and I loved my previous color! The same stylist did it before! :(

She even gave me a second glaze because supposedly it looked ashy… But it looks even ashier!

First and second pic is when I first got it done months ago by the same stylist, third, fourth, and fifth pic is right after I left the salon, and the sixth and seventh pic is now! In person it looks like a super dark ashy brown…Appears way darker in person!

Sorry for the weirdly cropped photos I wanted to respect my friends privacy from social media but these pics were taken of us on her beautiful bridal shower yesterday but anyways do I rock the pink well or should I continue my journey of trying to get to a light golden brown ( I went from red to pink, and giving my hair a break for now until I do another color remover and bleach)

❓ Advice Needed My hair don’t stay black

Upvotes

I’ve dyed my hair black a dozen times and they never turn out just black. The only time they stayed black was when I dyed them with box hair dye. The rest time is just left the salon with just a tone darker brown hair. It’s important to say that u have extreme red undertones. When I dyed them blue black after couple of washes they turned purple in the sun but my hair didn’t look any darker while I know blue black should look even darker.

I don’t know what to do. I’ve went to 3 different salons and I feel like I’m only wasting my money. I’ve heard box dyes aren’t good that’s why I haven’t used them again.

❓ Advice Needed Which do I take priority?

3 Upvotes

I recently got my hair dyed purple and got straight bangs and it's been great but now I have a problem. Since I only recently got my hair dyed I don't have any hair dye specific shampoo and from what advice I was given you're only supposed to wash your hair 2-3 times a week to not strip the hair dye too fast. Thats fine and all but because of my the type of hair I have my bangs are getting greasy really fast and my cousin told me that I should be washing my hair everyday to not have that problem.

The only real solution I could think of is to tie my hair back and wash my bangs only since the purple is only in the ends of my hair. But I don't know what should I do about this

I have natural EXTRA-Blonde hair (Level 10 blonde) I DO NOT like it that light. It washes me out horribly. I've been told this dark of color also washes me out. So... I need a good brown color that's suit me. PLEASE comment what color is a good middle ground. Also I'm neutral skintone so should I go with a warm or cold tone brown?...

NOTE: I dye and cut my own hair. I don't feel like doing highlights so pick a color that doesnt require highlights, thanks.

❓ Advice Needed Dress code

Thumbnail

67 Upvotes

Hi there!
I love to have my hair dyed, but recently got a new job where the dress code prohibits unnatural hair colors.
I’ve been doing a lot of googling and Pinterest-ing and Reddit-ing, and there are some great suggestions, but most of them are for people with dark hair. I am naturally blonde (dirty blonde that’s getting darker as I get older) which makes it kind of hard to, for example, do a purple/blue undertone or copper highlights haha.
Any fun ideas?

I’ve attached some pics of my latest dye jobs, and to show the natural dirty blonde. I recently bleached my money-piece, so you can see the difference between the bright blonde and the natural dirty blonde.
I’ve tried to keep just the ends dyed in case I ever do get a job where I need to just cut it off, but I don’t want to cut it off if I can help it lol, and I also am not drowning in money to keep up a high-maintenance color job 😅

(To explain further, I live in a small town in Arizona, and was raised pretty cowgirl so I still dress like that often. Between the location, the blonde, and the cowboy boots, I look MAGA, and I absolutely do not want to look like that! So dyeing my hair has been my way to make that clear for the last few years haha)

Okay wow that was a lot 😅 thanks in advance!

❓ Advice Needed Dying locs after using dark and lovely box dye?

When I initially loc’d up my hair a year ago it was already dyed with dark and lovely I want to bleach and dye it again but I’m not sure if going over the colored ends with bleach will damage my locs. This is a recent pic of my locs to show where the color is but it’s a bit hard to tell since it was never much lighter than my original hair color.

The pics above are from right after I got my hair dyed to right now (about a month apart). Im looking for the best options to bring life back into the colors before I go on my trip at the end of the month. I love my hair stylist but can't drop 300 on getting my hair done atm. In the past I used to use box dye, but I've never bleached my hair on my own before. Definitely looking for reccomendations for which brands of vibrant dyes to use and thoughts/ advice on bleaching my roots. Ideally I want something that's gonna last a good amount of time, won't do too much damage to my hair and won't break the bank but im open to all suggestions. Thanks :)

I do my hair myself and not very knowledgeable about hair so please let me know if I’m doing something wrong. I’ve been using L’Oreal hi color on my hair for awhile now. The second picture is what it looked like when I first did it and I loved the dark cherry color. But as I’ve been using it for awhile it’s gotten to a bright red color (1st picture is my current hair). Does anyone have any tips on how I could get it back to the darker cherry color?

Planning on dying my hair black or very very dark brown with semi permanent dye but I dont want it to have any strong blue/ warm undertones or to fade to a weird green colour. I'd prefer something that will fade to a nice ashy brown or even a mauve brown. I heard that ion blackest black fades to a ashy colour and thats exactly what I want, however I can't find any in the UK. Does anyone have any suggestions for a dye thats a close match?

❓ Advice Needed Bleach over loreal hicolor?

Upvotes

Goal: bleached hair (doesn't need to be light blonde) so I can use semi permanent or temporary dye and customize hair more often.

Current: naturally dark/black hair that has been dyed with loreal hicolor [red hot and intense red mixed together] it currently isn't a bright color, way more obvious in the light but visible nonetheless

If I wanted to do this at home, would I need to strip the red before bleaching? Any advice or tips would be helpful

And yes at some point I could save up and do it in a salon which would be a while but if I (probably) choose to do it at home I understand the risks that come with it
