Professionals - how do I keep my hair color without frying my hair?

red hair color level 6 image

Red

I color my own hair strawberry blonde (a level 7/8, and I am a level 6 or so). I am coloring more often than I'd like in order to hide grays and because the red fades out so fast, usually in 3 -4 weeks. I would like to try adding a semi-permanent reddish color as a boost, but am afraid the double process over my whole head will cause breakage and fry my hair. It's already not in great shape, but my ends just look like a bad bleach job at this point - no red whatsoever (my hair is long). Will ammonia-free hair color still damage my hair? Suggestions? Help!

Answer

How should I dye my hair from black to red blonde?

Hisoka

I have black hair and wants to color it red blond. How can I successfully achieve it?
I already bought hair dying materials: hair color cream 7/6 (red blond) and oxidizing emulsion vol. 40 [12%].
I'm asking for successful tips because my sister dyed her hair (from black to supposed to be zen auburn) but nothing seemed to happened. It's still black!
I will really really appreciate it. Thank you.

Answer
Is your hair naturally black? If so, the only way you're going to achieve any other color is to use bleach. Any other hair color solutions only deposits color or lightens very slightly. You should do a bleaching session using no higher than volume 30 activator. If your hair isn't as light as you want it to be after the first session, wait 2 weeks, and bleach it again. Make sure to use plenty of deep conditioner or even hot oil treatments, as bleach is awful for your hair. Once you're within two levels of the desired lightness (like, if you want to be a level 7, bleach up to at least a level 5), then you can use regular hair dye to get the desired shade.

I might recommend going to a hairdresser for a change that drastic. It's really easy to screw up your hair pretty badly, and if you don't want to chop it all off, then you're left with dead, bright orange hair.

I dyed my hair but it didnt come out like i wanted it too.
I dont want to use ColorFix again because it costs about the same as bleach.
So how long do i have to wait?
right now my hair color is dark reddish brown and i wanted it to a level 6 or level 7 blonde.

Answer
At minimum, you should wait until you've shampooed your hair at least 3 times over a number of days of having had your hair dyed.

Beyond that, it partly depends on the type of hair dye used, because some of the darker dyes have different chemical properties which may cause your hair to take on an unpleasant shade of red/gold when you try to bleach it. What you could do yourself is cut off some hair and do a bleach test on it with professional product and see what happens. Make sure it's enough hair to be able to accurately judge the color properties. But you should be aware that dyeing and then bleaching hair can affect the quality of your hair, leading to split ends, breakage, frizziness, etc. It depends on what hair type you have, how fine it is, how much abuse it's been through with chemical applications, etc.

If you want the bleaching to work when it's been recently dyed, don't use a conditioner enriched with antioxidants or a cheap conditioner that coats the hair just before bleaching. Some newer deep conditioners are enriched with excess antioxidants that prevent good results with bleaching. An example is the Neutrogena triple moisture deep conditioner, which has so much anitioxidant ability that it actually kept the peroxide from working for someone after they had used it earlier in the day before going to the salon to get their hair bleached. (If one isn't planning on bleaching their hair, then it's actually a good low-priced deep conditioner).
