teal, red or purple? hair-dye questions?

ryry

heyy there. i'm getting my hair highlighted today {don't believe in DIY [:} and have a few quick questions-
i want to highlight it red, teal, or purple {all brighter, neonish versions of these colors}. i wash my hair every one to two days. what color would stay in the longest and remain noticeable the longest?
as you can see, i have darker hair and am only gonna lighten the base a smidge, so keep that in mind.

in my hair dying experience, bright red color lasts the longest and looks the best on dark hair. it's also brighter and more noticable than teal or purple are.

DIY Hair Strippers?

VIXEN

I am naturally a brunette and I have been dying my hair blonde for over 10 years, but a few months ago I went red...i liked it at first, but now, i dont feel like me!!! i really miss my blonde hair! and want to go back. I cant afford to get it done at the hairdressers, so if i brought a hair stripper would it strip it to my natural colour or some horrible multi coloured mess? Im intending on dying it afterwards but i want to be prepared for what it will look like after the colour is stripped. A friend of mine used a wella stripper a few years ago and her hair when green!! also after it has been striped, can i go straight to blonde or do i go brown first then wait to go blonde? If anyone can tell me any good hair strippers then that would also be great. thanks alot.....oh, my hair is in good condition and i know to use conditioners etc....
P.s....I know that people are gonna say go to a salon...(even after i've added this little p.s) but im not even joking..i CAN'T afford too! I know the risks etc, but would appriciate advice only about what i have asked. :-)

Answer
the red may go orange but bleach over it again (inbetween use a very good deep conditioner)and finally use a blonde hair colur over the top to tone it.

if it goes orange first time dont try covering it with brown as it may go green, bleaching again for a shorter time will be better

of course its never ideal bleaching hair at home but ive heard this works

i'll be using a DIY hair color kit. i have black asian hair and it will be my first time to color. i bought a mahogany color but i think its too red for me. if i wash the dye off early, will i get just a tinge of color? (that's what i'm going for..)

Answer
if it's a permanent color then you'll have to mix 2 chemicals together.
the developer (sometimes called peroxide) works for the first 20-30 minutes to lift out your natural haircolor; then the color gets deposited into the hair for the next 15 minutes (it depends on how long it's supposed to be left on. different manufacturers have different times to leave the color on)

you could end up with a tinge of color - you could also end up with all kinds of different colors because the color doesn't penetrate as well on some parts as it does others (hair close to the scalp developes faster because of the heat of the head)

here's my suggestion:
do a strand test on a swatch of hair in the back (under all your other hair) close to the occipital bone (the one that sticks out in the back of your head). wrap it with aluminum foil for the correct time on the package. once it's done shampoo, condition and blowdry to check the color out. you might just want to do hilites with the color around your face so it's not TO different.

red color molecules are the biggest there are so it fades more quickly than any other color.

How to lighten deep auburn hair?

Ambrielle

So I just got my hair colored, and I thought I liked it, but it's a little more fake looking than I'd like it to be. It's a very very dark red that you can just see in the light. I was hoping to fade the darkness a little, but not the color. Is there a way I can lighten my hair shade but not strip the color so I still have a dark red, just a little more on the red side, than the dark side?

Also looking to DIY so those suggestions are more helpful.

Answer
