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

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.
Google: Best & Worst Hairstyles Grammys 2013. "Bonnie McKee
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.

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 :)

Anderson Cooper, Jay Leno & Steve Martin went grey early..
Initially, hair is white. The cells in our hair follicles called âMelanocytesâ generate pigments the main one being Melanin. This gives our hair its âColorâ.
In general, the more melanin present, the darker the hair color; the less melanin, the lighter the hair color.
When these Melanocytes stop producing the pigment the result is a transparent hair. The transparent hair against your healthier darker hair gives the appearance of Gray hair. In reality the hair is not Gray but transparent.
Harvard scientists propose that a failure of melanocyte stem cells (MSC) to maintain the production of melanocytes could cause the graying of hair.
So, although stress is associated with many medical problems, there is no evidence that it can cause a personâs hair to turn white overnight.

"Premature graying is genetically determined for the most part," David Bank, MD, tells WebMD. Bank is director of the Center for Dermatology, Cosmetic, and Laser Surgery in Mount Kisco, N.Y. "Graying is natural. We all do it eventually."
When more than half the hair is white by age 40, though, this is considered "premature."

DYK: there are 15 shades of colors for blond hair? Red has about 5-7 shades of colors in them. But people don't know that, because they're always covering their hair with hair dyes.

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.

My friend's parents both have black hair. How does she have natural red hair?

red hair 2012 image

Leon

She is half-Chinese. Her mother is full-blooded Chinese. My friend's father met the mother in China, so the mother shouldn't have a recessive gene for red hair.

Answer
There are very rare genes for red hair amongst Asians that descended from the Tocharians of the Tarim Basin in Xinjiang province rather than the Mongolian Han Chinese. There are Melanesians with copper red hair and blonde hair. It is possible for rare alleles to persist in populations only to emerge as the phenotype on the chance combination with another rare allele.

I have bright red hair, should I colour my eyebrows the same?

Ocean

If you google LedaMonsterBunny, you'll see that sometimes she'll colour in her eyebrows the same colour as her hair. My eyebrows are naturally black/Dark brown and im just wondering if i should colour them to match my red hair.

Answer
No.
DYEING EYEBROWS
Myth 7: Dye your eyebrows to match your hair color.
False: â Your hair color and eyebrows should not be a perfect match. A slight contrast is good,â says Warren, makeup artist to the stars. To lighten up your brows and fill them in for a natural look, use a brow pencil or powder one shade lighter than your hair color.

Never dye your eyebrows or eyelashes. This can hurt your eyes. You might even go blind. FDA does not allow using hair dyes on eyelashes and eyebrows.

That's why someone invented eyebrow pencils. If you want to change the color of your eyebrows, shave them, then line them with eyebrow pencils. Google celebrities with different color hair and see what eyebrow colors they have. Google Lady Gaga and check out what color eyebrows she's got with her so many wig changes. Have you seen Miley's eyebrows? She's now blonde!

Example from one salon to a client: "i have been a beauty therapist for 8 years and have never experienced a client react to an eyelash tint..
The client came in to have her hair done and while she was having this done asked about the eyelash tint.. she told me that she had a reaction in the past when she had it done so i gave her a patch test. about 40 Min's later she said that by now she would have reacted to it and said she would like to go with it and have it done.. so taking her world for it i done the tint she then asked for her eyebrows too..
this was on a saturday, monday morning i got a phone call from my boss saying i had to come in as the client had a reaction anyway when i got there i was a bit shaken as i didn't know what to expect the client was very sore.. she then said that she didn't want to take further action and that she just wanted me to know to be more careful for next time :s . . . . i think I'm going to give up my job too as my confidence has gone down the drain :( "
