How can sun affect my hair color?

red hair color live image

Shannon

I have natural red (ginger) hair and it always had a more auburn-ish color, since I lived in Germany until I was 16, where it rained quite a lot during the year and my hair didn't get to see a lot of sun. But about 2 years ago me and my family moved to a Caribbean island and since then my hair just got more...orange.
Did my hair really get that much lighter? Or am I just imagining things?
Sorry if this question is a bit odd.

Answer
OMFG You're ginger you don't have a soul!

What happens when you highlight dyed dark red hair? If there is bleached blonde under that red?

Q. What Colour highlights I will have on dyed dark red hair( with semi Schwarzkopf Country ) if underneath I have bleached blonde.
If i use Loreal highlight box will i get to that bleach blonde what I have underneath? Will I have clean blonde highlights or i'll need to tone them with- ash toner , silver conditioner to tone orange? pink? tone highlights?

Answer
Try using Schwarzkopf Platinum Blonde Live XXL colour. I use this on my hair and its bleach blonde and will definitely dye over semi dye. With highlighting kits, you don't really get a good variety of colours, and also you don't get much dye in them.

Can I dye the top of my hair a dark chocolate brown and ombre the bottoms in one sitting?

red hair color 2013 image

Casey

So I have ombre hair right now, but my natural hair color is a light blondish brown color so it goes from that color into a blonde color for the ombre. I think it's good for right now for the summer, but fall is slowly coming up and I want to change it. I want to keep the ombre but I want all of my hair aside from the ends to be a darkish chocolate brown color and then still have the blonde bits at the end for ombre. So my really question is, is can I get JUST my hair BESIDES the ends dyed?

Answer
Celebrity wears two-tone hair dye all the time, trying to grow out their dye. They call that look ombre hair color â darker roots, lighter ends â but colorists sees that fading. Women are wanting dimensional color with natural highlights that look like they've been playing out in the sun.

"Ombre is the number one poorly done color in this country! It takes a lot of blending and finesse to look natural. The key is to highlight the whole head, then deepen just the roots. Unfortunately, a lot of the ombre I see today is bad - I'm ready for that to be retired! Dye should make hair look expensive and chic. Otherwise, what's the point?" ~ Harry Josh, Hollywood's top hairstylist, who have given Gisele ombre color for 13 years.

I'm naturally a ginger and I want to dye part of my hair lavender. Can I do this without using bleach?

Caitlin

I have fairly light red hair with some orange dyed at the tips (ombre but it's faded now) I want to do the same but with a temporary lavender I got from Sally's. The brand is Ion. I really don't want to bleach my hair, but I know that yellow is the opposite of purple which means my orange hair could turn brown with the dye. Anyone have experience with this? Do you think it will work out?

Answer
Call the 1-800# found on the box of dye or email them, (to find #, go online & search the brand if you don't have the box) they're the hair color experts they can advice you best. Style meets chemistry meets biology: We're talking hair coloring.

Playing with chemicals is not like playing with clothes, or doing a manicure, there are penalties for playing chemicals in the lab. Even hair color experts at the salon are not rocket scientists, they do a bang up dye jobs to their clients or their own hair.

I personally think people with dark skin look really great with a lip stick color that

Always curl lashes before applying mascara. You can actually curl lashes AFTER mascara is applied, as long as your mascara is dried (a good tip to know if you want to curl your lashes later in the day without removing your mascara).

Don't forget your bottom lashes. For years I avoided mascara on them until a makeup expert showed me how much mascara on my lower lashes really make my eyes pop. I rarely go without now. To apply mascara on lower lashes, hold the brush vertically, then sweep it back and forth.

Individual false lashes are exotic, gorgeous and can look natural if applied correctly. Large cities offer "lash bars" in the hottest department stores. If they're too long, you can trim them with scissors.

For a doe-eyed, seductive look lining your lower lids with a creamy white eye pencil.

White liner may sound odd, but it really opens up the eye. You can also try putting it on the inside corner of both your upper and your lower lids.

Another way to open up eyes is to skip the white eyeliner and opt instead for a platinum highlighter. Dot along the browbone, then blend in. Apply highlighter at the inner corners of your eyes. Follow with eye shadow.

Make sure your brows are manicured. Until you get your brows professionally waxed, tweezed or threaded, you won't realize how much they affect the rest of your face. Cleaning up your brow line of stray hairs, adding a slight arch and filling in sparse spots are key to making eyes look much larger.

I find once you get a professional brow job, you can do it yourself for a few months using the pro job as a "map" of where to tweeze. To keep brows in place, try a clear eyebrow gel, clear mascara or just spritz a bit of hairspray onto an old toothbrush and brush brows in perfect place.
--------------------------------------â¦
If you are Asian and have small eyes like me, you probably have tried different methods to make your eyes look larger. What makes it more of a reason to do so is if you also have single eyelids. This is because most Asians have more of a fatty deposit in the area between their eyebrows and their eyelids. I have found that there a few different tricks you can do to create a look that will make your eyes appear more large and dramatic.

First, line your eyes with a waterproof or long lasting eyeliner preferably in black, which creates a more dramatic look. You will want to line the rims of your eyes (the inside portion of eye above the bottom lashes and the portion of the eye below the top lashes). You could either use an eye pencil or a liquid eyeliner. I have found that with a liquid eyeliner it is easier to line the top portion of the inner rim of your eye, but can be more difficult when lining the portion above your top lashes and the inner rim portion of your bottom lashes unless you have continuous practice and maintain a steady hand. An eye pencil is much easier to use, but may not be as bold as liquid eyeliner if you are looking for a more dramatic look.

Next, use a lengthening and volumizing mascara in the darkest color available and apply as many coats necessary or desired to create a more dramatic look. I have noticed that if you have sparse lashes there really is no need to apply mascara on your bottom lashes since there are so few anyway and the eyeliner will have already filled in the effect. Also, I noticed that if you let your lashes dry in between every few coats, the dramatic look will build more quickly and effectively instead of piling one coat after another continuously and you end up having those awful "spider leg" looking lashes.

My sister went to work & left her RED hair straightener on all day.The color infused into the bathroom counter?

Me, Myself

It looks like the color from my sister's RED hair straightener was infused into the bathroom counter. She tried scrubbing it with a magic eraser sponge, but that didn't help at all. It's like it melted into the fake marble & it's about 4 inches long & 1 inch wide.

Does anyone have any ideas how to get the stain out?

Answer
I would think that the colour is from the paint used in the manufacturing process. So, try some varsol, or paint reducer on a small spot first.

Is red hair really a sign of persistent starvation?

red hair inheritance image

Magic * Me

I heard someone say it is. Like, if a people's been starved through generations or something their kids begin to have red hair and something. That true?

Answer
Not at all lol.

Red hair appears in people with two copies of a recessive gene on chromosome 16 which causes a mutation in the MC1R protein.
Red hair can originate from several changes on the MC1R-gene. If one of these changes is present on both chromosomes then the respective individual is likely to have red hair. This type of inheritance is described as an autosomal recessive mode of inheritance. Even if both parents do not have red hair themselves, both can be carriers for the gene and have a redheaded child.

In rare cases red hair can be associated with a disease or genetic disorder.

In cases of severe malnutrition, normally dark human hair may turn red or blonde. The condition, part of a syndrome known as kwashiorkor, is a sign of critical starvation caused chiefly by protein deficiency, (melanin found in protein is what genetically determines hair color, so a deficiency in protein would lead to a loss of eumelanin, which is an amino acid responsible for making hair and skin darker) and is common during periods of famine. (This is probably what you are referring to. this does Not happen genetically or change a persons genetics. It is the direct result of loss of protein due to starvation. It would not be carried on through generations.)
One variety of albinism (Type 3, aka rufous albinism), sometimes seen in Africans and inhabitants of New Guinea, results in red hair and red-colored skin.
Red hair is found on people lacking pro-opiomelanocortin.

What hair color would our kids have if my boyfriend and I had a kid?

Amber

I have red hair and my boyfriend has dark brown hair. We are comparing if our child would have red hair (like its momma) or dark brown hair (like its daddy). We both have brown eyes and thick hair. What hair color will show up on our child if we have a child together? His dad is dark brown hair and his mom has light brown hair and my mom has blonde hair and my dad has black hair.

Answer
Human hair colour inheritance is very complicated and it involves something like 6 different genes, if my memory serves me correctly. Therefore it's very random and hard to determine with any uncertainty. If I were a human genetics specialist I might be able to give you a better idea, but I think it's unlikely that the child will have red hair, as it has a tendency to 'skip' generations, as it were. Dark brown is most likely, but they could still potentially have quite light brown hair.

Just wait and see! :)

How to get pillar box red semi permanent hair colour out of my hair?

What will happen to my red hair a week after dying it?

Q. ok so i have dark brown hair, almost black, and i bought a rich auburn hair color, the box said this color is recommended for dark hair so i bought it. ive really wanted to dye my hair red for almost a week or longer.. but im wondering how long the red will take to fade out, and will it look bad after a week? how do i keep my hair red longer?

Answer
If the dye you used is a semi permanent, you can keep the red longer by not washing your hair. Keep the vibrant color longer by not using conditioner right after dying. Most dye jobs will make the hair dry, so use conditioners eventually.

The last semi permanent in dark auburn I used, lasted 6 weeks.

There are shampoos and conditioners with color that will lengthen the life of your color. You need to use gloves to apply them, they stain your hands and towel.

Whats the best (and perferably cheap) way to keep your hair color?

MRose

I finally got my hair color to where I want it, and its gorgeous, but it usually fades pretty quickly. What products can I get that will help me keep the color vibrant and healthy for a longer period of time?

Its red, and red's hard to keep

Answer
Here are a few ways:
-look for clarifying or cleasing shampoos. they help get rid of the product build up and environmental agents that clog up the cuiticles. use this every 3 shampoos
-try looking for shampoos that are low in sulfur. sulfur is the agent that make the shampoo lather up. the sulfer is also the agent that causes the color to fade.

in the end....if you get your hair professionally done, ask them what brand they use to color your hair. then go out and look for that product line. For example, if a salon uses REDKEN color, then use REDKEN products. The reason is that the products are formulated to help care for that particular line's color.

My natural hair color is red. 1 year ago I dyed it dark brown and kept it that way for about a year. Then the ombre hairstyles started to become a big trend and I wanted my hair to go from dark brown to blonde so I added blonde to the bottom. I was wondering how I could go about going back to my natural red hair without it totally ruining my hair??

Answer
im a hairdresser and been every colour under the sun... and had my hair in awful condition.
if you want to keep your hair in good condition i would stay away from bleaching/effasor.
i would start using vosence Original/ head and shoulder shampoo or washing up liquid is also as good this will strip any pigments in your hair out in a nice process as shampoo's are acid's so there more gentle. bleach and effasor is alkaline and eventually lead to hair breakage. if you worry when your roots come through go the hairdressers and get high lights which match your roots running through your hair. to break it up. also having regular cuts will help the growing and condition. hope this helps

Does the prescription drug Chantix cause hair loss?

aintnohooc

Has anybody started taking Chantix and experienced hair loss? I've been taking this drug for over 3 weeks now and the only side effect I've had is that I have very weird dreams but now I started realizing that I'm losing my hair as well. I'm thinking about quitting but I'm scared I'd start smoking again.

Answer
Call the pharmacy right quick or look on the chantix website.

You may be low in iron and have thyroid issues and may need kelp capsules for a couple months. How are you doing on your protein levels? Are you eating enough for your level of fitness? No protein no hair.

Iron deficency test: Go to the mirror and pull your lower eyelid and see if the color is red or flesh color. If its flesh colored you are lacking enough iron and should take a herbal iron like Floradix. It will take a month to see a difference. Iron carrys oxygen in your blood and if you dont have it you will feel tired, cold hands and feet, headaches, RLS, dull brittle hair, brittle nails, poor sleep, pale skin (see thru), shortness of breath, fatigue, poor concentration, low mood, ringing in the ears, irregular heart beats, cracks in the corner of the mouth, dizziness, fainting, sore tongue and canker sores. Add b12 and folic acid for best results.

How do I get blonde hair from black hair?

I have black hair at the moment and really crave blonde hair. I have only dyed it black once from bright red hair. I was wondering what would be the best way to achieve blonde hair without it going crispy and orange as it has done in the past.

Answer
There are color lifter cremes you can buy, that will lift the black out of your hair and reveal your natural hair color. If you're natural hair is dark, you may need a bleaching or several rounds of the blonde color. HOWEVER, i recommend going to a professional for this, because you may have an allergic reaction or a bad result, such as streaking or hair loss.

What is the best way to dye my Brown hair red at home using over the counter products?

red hair color 2013 image

Jess

Please don't say "go to a professional" as I know that that is always the best option. At this time, I would prefer to do it at home for financial reasons. I have dyed my hair many times at home successfully when going darker brown. I am mainly wondering 1. Since my hair is a medium brown now, will I need to lighten it for a red to show up? 2. If so, what are the steps to complete that process? 3. What all will I need? (I'm more interested in buying things from Sally's then just buying a boxed color at Walmart and hoping for the best.)

Is it necessary to put foils through your hair before dying it blonde?

tess

I have red hair and a pixie cut, and want to go platinum blonde. My hairdresser says to go that blonde it will take at least 2 more sessions before she will dye it fully. So that comes to 2 months with awful foils scattered through my hair! I understand that she needs to take my current hair colour down to dye it, but i thought the process would be much quicker these days.

Answer
5-7-2013

NO.

You have short hair, so it's obvs gna b a quicker process. You DON'T need foils. You can do it yourself or go to another haircolorist. You don't have to wait 2 months. She just says that because it be more money for her and/or she's covering her ass (in case your hair falls out or something awful happens).


Here's what I would do:
Depending on how RED (vibrant red) your haircolor is, use a haircolor remover. Remove as much of the red as possible. Then, bleach your hair until it's at least yellow...but preferably keep bleaching until it's PALE yellow. Once you hit yellow or pale yellow, use a platinum hairdye -or- use a cool tone toner. Make sure you condition before and after you go platinum. Make sure you have a full-sized bottle of conditioner, a full-sized bottle of DEEP conditioner, a full-sized bottle of LEAVE-IN conditoner, a reconstructor (depending on your hair's health). Use the conditioner after you shampoo. Use the Deep conditioner weekly. Use the Leave-In conditioner before you blowdry or use hot hair tools. Try not to "tease" your hair as much after blonding it.

PS - I bet that blonde pixie look is gna look so cute/great!

I want to stay in the brown spectrum, and have really brassy brownish hair right now from removing red hair color that I had done myself for a few months(and hated!). I don't necessarily want it to be all one shade of brown though, and I don't know what to ask for if i want more dimension in it. Any suggestions? Pictures would be great also!

Answer
i think mahogany would be nice if you want to stay in the brown spectrum.

What's the difference between 1940's and 1950's hair and makeup styles?

red hair women over 50 image

G

I've watched some makeup tutorials on YouTube, and seen that style elsewhere, and sometimes it's attributed to 40's and other times, 50's. The curly hair, red lip, thick liner with a flick.

Anyone know the difference (if there is one!)?

Answer
Before I answer this, let me just say Old Hollywood is my passion. I watch movies from 1910s-70s every. single. day. So I have seen hundreds of movies, and most from 30s, 40s, and 50s..so I have experience with this subject lol

There's not a difference in makeup from the 40s and 50s. The only change from 30s to 40s to 50s are the hairstyles and clothes.. (such as pin curls were only popular in the 20s and 30s and NOT the 40s.) ..and eyebrows. (Thicker eyebrows started coming back in the 40s, but before that they were tweezed/waxed to a thin arch.)

In the 1950s, a lot more women (particularly teenagers) started to wear their hair down and wavy (never more than shoulder length). Don't get me wrong, a lot still wore victory rolls (Those curly rolls you see on the women's heads), but this was leading into the late 60s, and by then victory rolls were nonexistent (on the younger generation, anyways.)

What is a good hair coloring product to use on black hair?

I have black hair and its really hard to color it. I was wondering if anyone knew of a hair coloring product that really shows up on black hair.

Answer
Whatever you're using has probably been overused. Those box colors come with 20 volume and it's way too harsh to keep applying over and over. It opens up the cuticle of the hairshaft and the color won't hold on. Only 10 volume should be used to prevent this as you only want to deposit color.. ....so when you have a regrowth, you should only tint the roots and run it thru the ends for the last 5 min. to freshen it.
My guess is that your hair is now overprocessed and you need to use a protein (CAT by Redken) followed by a good moisturizing cond. I know they have a newer product that has both but I can't remember the name of it. You could call a Redken salon, or a pro supplier (Maly's) , find out what it is, and then find out where you can get it.
I always suggest having color done professionally since they have the knowledge to prevent these problems. But get it conditioned first, and if you absolutly can't go to a pro, maybe try a good beauty college, since they have more knowledge than you do, they have all the products (May not have the redken though), and they are supervised.

edit....I misread your question and thought you wanted a good black to hold. There is no color that will lighten tinted hair. so since it's now tinted you will have to use bleach or a color remover. If you have natural black, and didn't color it, then you could use different reds, or browns, but again it's better to go pro since they would know better.

Why are so many black women i know in love with themselves and have a big attitude?

red hair black women image

Jennifer

I know it certainly isn't true for all black women but the ones who are my peers at uni. They are in love with themselves and think they are the best to a crazt extent and critise me for thinking I am better than them just because I'm biracial and I have green eyes and red hair and yet the white women don't say a thing. Is it my fault I have a white mother? No! Why wont they just leave me be?
Why do people take the screen name so seriously? Lol... whatever answer the question.

And no I don't give of any vibe. I've had black girls I've never so much as noticed before storm up to me asking why I think I'm 'so good, is it because your papa was a race traitor? Or cos your mother is a fat hoe?'

So who is being judgemental. I'm shy I keep myself to myself. They on the other hand are loud and snooping.

Answer
DO you think you're better than them? It sounds like you do and the one with the attitude is you. If so, I don't blame them for hating on you. Get over yourself.
