First let me give you my hair history-
Over a year ago, I dyed my hair bright red. It stained so badly that I had to go black. I've been dying my hair black since then and I decided to make my fringe blonde. With like 3 bleaches, spread out fairly well, it worked. So then I decided I'd do my whole head. Within this month, I know this is completely AWFUL- I've bleached my hair about 4-5 times. My hair is damaged obviously, and I've given up on being blonde because I can't get my hair to match my new blonde extensions. My hair is actually a natural-looking blonde color, with red tint, but I can't get the red to go away.
Now here's what I've decided to do. To give my hair a break, I planned to dye my whole head purple. However, my bangs are platinum and my extensions are also platinum. I'm afraid that if I put the purple dye on my hair and my extensions, they won't match. What can I do to match them up?
Answer
You can match everything but if you're interested in giving your hair (and sanity) a little break, my advise would be to go a very dark (almost burgundy) purple or a deep blue-black. (but not with solid colour).. What will make this look great is using lowlights and highlights (a few varying shades in streak-form on top of a darker, shiny base). To really make it pop, [add] some black lowlights. Not thick and chunkyâmore like a soft blend that tricks the eye.

You will never get a uniform match.
Here's what you do:
Invest in some decent deep conditioner packs for your own hair and the human hair extensions. Apply the treatment packs and wrap your hair (along with the extensions) in a plastic bag (on your head) so the heat will activate the treatment. Look for a protein pack. One that will smooth the damaged and extremely porous hair by filing in the gaps.
Solutions for Correcting Porous Hair--
The issues of individual scale damage and raised cuticles are the primary issues associated with porous hair. If you can somehow patch the scale damage and close these cuticles layers, even a little, you will resolve a majority of your hair porosity issues.
(iow; it will lie flatter and smoother, the texture won't be fuzzy and feel like an emery board once corrected).
Products with wheat protein, like Kenra Moisturizing Conditioner, are good for shoring up the cuticle without leaving the hair too crunchy. Other more protein intensive treatments for correcting porous hair are Aphogee 2 Minute Keratin Reconstructor, CHI Keratin Mist, Motions CPR, and Organic Root Stimulator Mayo Treatment, and Cantu Shea Butter leave-in conditioner. Remember, nothing can PERMANENTLY repair hair that is damaged, but treatments can go a long way for shoring up the weak spots and temporarily managing problems. Joico K-pack reconstructor protein pack smells like bananas and will smooth the hair shaft. It's used before and after chemical treatments (like relaxers, perms and bleach).
After that, delve into the colour. I would go for a solid, shiny and deep-deep burgundy and add your colour of choice via HIGHLIGHTS and LOWLIGHTS vs. all-over colour. There's also HENNA gloss treatments which can be applied to both your hair and extensions, and will repair as it colours.
Adding a few strands to your own hair and the extensions of a brighter purple haze, a more lively deep turquoise, etc., will blend the colours. If there's any difference between your own hair and the extensions, the bridge will be gapped by way of adding a few lowlights and highlights. Don't try to unilaterally colour all hair the same purple shade because it just won't work. But highlights and lowlights on a smooth, deep burgundy/deep russet will work nicely. The match will be easier once your hair is less porous. Go deeper and richer with the colour and then apply lowlights and highlights to both (which will look very natural).

Will I damage my hair?
hazel
My hair was dyed black and I used color oops to take the black out so I could dye it red. An hour or two later, I put the red dye in and it came out black! Why? Also, I want to get another box of the red dye I got today and try it again. Will this damage my hair? Thanks in advance ð
Answer
When you dye your hair (especially at home) the outcome is always unpredictable. And the reason "Color Oops" didn't work is because it only strips away surface level colors, not deep ones and then covers them up! And the Color Oops alone has damaged your hair SO MUCH! You need hair stylist. A professional one. Someone who can look at your hair's damage level, porosity, thickness, and history to determine exactly what they should use to get your hair exactly where it needs to be with the least amount of damage. Plus the hair dye a hair dresser uses is different than anything you can buy over the counter. If you are trying to save money go to a cosmetology school where the students are trained and supervised by industry professionals.
