should I dip dye my hair myself or get it done?




Emma


I have very dark brown hair almost black. In 5th grade I had highlights put in professionally and from swim team and constant highlights I just eventually became a blonde. I then decided to go back to my natural dark color in 9th grade. After about 8 months I decided to go red (arianna grade red) as many of you may know red is the hardest color to keep. It looked great just like the blond because although I have dark hair in certain lights you can see my blonde and red natural highlights. So now fast forward 4 years, and I am back to my natural dark color. For the past year I have been wanting to get my ends dip dyed blonde. I decided I will go for it, here is the questions though. Should I save money, and do it myself? If so, what dye should/can I pick up from CVS, and any tips? OR should I trust my hair lady and spend the big bucks to get it done? thanks!:)
Ok I didn't ask for "should i do it or not" I asked what is the best way to do it. I take amazing care of my hair and it grows so fast because when I got my natural color back I went a year without any heat, or chemicals.. All i asked was..Should I DIY it or get it done? Thanks



Answer
Trust no one!

Celebrity wears two-tone hair dye all the time, trying to grow out their dye. Watch Victoria Newman on the Young & the Restless (her dyed blond hair had been growing for months & months, that was in 2012, but this is now 2013, and she still have it), Chloe on Y&R has two-tone hair, and another on Entertainment Tonight, she's one of the correspondence. Chloe Kardashian, Drew Barrymore & Guiliana Rancic (btw, she just had double mastectomy), Sarah Jessica Parker, Rachel Bilson,Jennifer Lopez (when she's not wearing hair extensions) have had their hair done like that (letting their highlights fade) for years! The other night, I even spotted Ivanka Trump's hair, she's letting her hair grow naturally on the Apprentice. 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. On Fashion Police 1-29-13 episode, Khloe Kardashian said: "I had that in 2011!"

"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.

That dip-dyed, dark-at-the-roots, light-at-the-ends look that half of Bondi is sporting looks, like, sooo last season.
Super colourist and John Frieda ambassador Harry Josh (responsible for Mary Kate Olsen and Rose Byrneâs recent brunette transformations) confirmed the news backstage at Zac Posen. 9-22-12.

We're not actually sure who this is, but she should leave the two-toned hair to the pros."

Senior colourist at Oscar Oscar in Sydneyâs Paddington, Michael Kelly, agrees.
âItâs ratty, itâs tatty. It doesnât look luxurious. It looks cheap, like your colour has grown out and you havenât been able to afford to go to the salon and get your colour done. Girls see pictures on street style blogs and they want that hard, ombre look, but everyone ends up looking the same,â says Kelly.

ALSO, there are far better hair dyes in stores than those sold Made in China hair dyes sold @ CVS.

Chemicals can enter the body through the skin.

> > > Hair dye chemicals linked to cancer
London, Feb 20, 2013 I've been saying that since 2009.
Hair dyes, which include home hair colouring kits and those used at pricey salons, are linked to deadly cancer-causing chemicals, warn scientists. In 2009 the Mail revealed that women who used hair dyes more than nine times a year had a 60% greater risk of contracting blood cancer.
A year later the European Commission banned 36 hair dyes which put long-term users at risk of bladder cancer. < < < <â¨
Google: Teen 'feared she would die' after reaction to hair dye
The allergic reaction was caused by a well-known brand of semi-permanent hair dye Chloe used to turn her hair black for a Halloweâen party. . . . . called for beauty bosses to ban hair dye chemical PPD (para-phenylenediamine) from the shelves. 11-04-11

The chemical is not new and is present in a number of brands of dark hair colours, acting to help adhere the dye to the hair so that it doesn't wash out. Itâs made from coal tar and is used in both permanent and semi-permanent hair colours. Itâs well-known to be a cause of serious allergic reactions -- including something called contact dermatitis which can lead to rashes, blisters, and open sores.
PPD is sometimes added to black henna tattoos and that using them is not safe. Allergic reactions usually begin within two to 10 days following application. One bad reaction can lead to sensitivities to other products such as hair dye, sunblock and some types of clothing dyes. Oftentimes, it's using the product a second or third time. Skin specialist Najjia Ashraf reveals that there are barely any dyes that donât contain this toxin; even the ones who claim they donât, are not being honest. âBig brands often escape the blame by suggesting they are ammonia-free. However, ammonia and PPD are two very different things and PPD is present in nearly every dye because it is what gives off the colour,â she explains.

Dying my red hair to Blonde?




Anna


Tomorrow I am dying my hair from red/brown to blonde. I dyed my red hair myself. It was the first time I dyed my hair. I've touched it up here and there with sture brand dye. But I'm going to the salon to dye my hair blonde. The blonde color I'm aiming for is kinda like Cara Delevingne blonde or Miley Cyrus blonde. This color, http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_mdiyi50cNl1r8yocr.gif
or this color, http://celebmagnet.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/reg_1024.miley_.blonde.mh_.080612.jpg.

So I guess what I'm asking is, what should I expect? Will I have to go back the next day? Can I get it all done in a day? Will I be able to get the color I want? Will it turn out the way I want it to?



Answer
Red is 100% the hardest pigment to change, every hairstylist would agree, and we learn exactly that in school. The blonde that you want seems more like a dirtier blonde, so if your lucky they may be able to get it close in one shot, but you may need anywhere from 2-3 sessions to get it done. And you shouldn't get it done back to back, if this is the case it will fry and kill your hair, so if you must have multiple sessions span it out 2-3 weeks at least.

The problem with going from red to blonde is that your hair will get the copper look more often. I have brown hair with natural reddish undertones, and because I've gone blonde I know when it's time to get my hair done because my blonde gets a bit orangish. Tomorrow when you get it done, depending on how much red is in your hair even after toner if may look copper, don't worry about this, by the next session the copper will lighten up to a blondish.

Good luck :)
