Im thinking of dying my hair red?

Nataly

okay, so my original hair color is like a chestnut brown, and I'm thinking of dying it red. I've never dyed my entire hair before so this is going to be my first time. I've had some highlights before (once) it was red, and I really liked it. I did the highlights at home and it turned out to be really good, so i'm not really going to a salon to do the whole thing. I was wondering if anyone can help me with what shade of red i should use exactly. oh, and I have green eyes, so do you think its a good idea?
thanks a bunch :))

Answer
Go on google type in red hair and see which red shade you like most, then try find a hairdye/colour similar to that one, if you want a really bright red you'd have to maybe bleach or lighten your hair first for it to go really red, if you want it a darkish red you can put it over brown :) I think red hair goes good with any eye colour, I have blue eyes and my bright red hair looked fine with it :) x

What type of red should I dye my hair? Should I even dye it?

Jasmine

My family members have always said I have a nice skin complexion that goes with any color and they constantly remind me about it when I ask them if I look okay or if this color looks good with me. I honestly don't see what they mean. I wanna be Sally from The Nightmare Before Christmas for Halloween (You're probably thinking ITS JULY WHY ARE YOU WORRYING ABOUT THIS NOW YOU PRICK but let me explain) and her hair is red so I dye my hair every summer (last time it was indigo) and since Sally's hair is red, I want to try to see what it looks like. I'm gonna bleach my hair (a trusted bleach, dont worry) then do it red. I know Sally's is like a deeper red and I think red might look better on me but I have tan skin and I'm not so sure how it will come out? Should I dye it light red or dark red after I bleach or lighten my hair? Heres a couple of pics of me, please no mean answers /;

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.

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.

The British woman who went into coma after a reaction to hair dye has died after a year. Updated 11-25-12. The woman suffered a heart failure, struggled for breath and became unconsciousness. Her family blamed paraphenylenediamine, a chemical found in hair colour. Her family has now called for paraphenylenediamine to be banned from home dye kits. In 2000, a 38-year-old Indian-origin woman from Birmingham, Narinder Devi, died after an allergic reaction to hair dye.

Dying over dyed red hair - which type of colour?

Hannah

A while ago I dyed, well, tried to dye, my medium brown hair an auburn colour. Didnt come out right at all - i ended up with rusty orange roots, while the rest of my hair just became slightly redder than before.
I'm getting really sick of it, so i decided to dye it my natural colour and just leave it alone. The thing is, which tone of colour should i use - ash, neutral or warm??
I've heard some people telling me that i should use ash because it will cancel out the orange, but then others told me to use neutral because otherwise it wull look muddy brown. I'm confused =/
Also, will the blotchiness show through the brown, or will it kind of even things out?

Answer
If your hair already has red in it, you need to use an ash dye, but no, your hair will not become "muddy", it will look more neutral. I think you should consider striping your hair, and then redyeing it, this will even out the color, and provide a blank canvas for you. If you do bleach it, then keep in mind that your hair is most likely porous, which means that your hair will absorb the color more, and come out one level darker. Don't use a box dye because the developers are too harsh, and the results are too unpredictable. Go to a beauty supply to buy your hair dye/bleach.

Call the 1-800# found on the box of dye or email them, (to find #, go online & search the brand if you don't have the box) they're the hair color experts they can advice you best. Style meets chemistry meets biology: We're talking hair coloring.

Example: "My hair is right about armpit length as it is, but I've severely damaged it by bleaching it all at once. As a student of cosmetology myself, I would have to say that it was probably one of the worst mistakes I could have ever made."
Another example: ok i did my hair yesterday i DIDN'T bleach it ,but im not sure what its called but she took the color out of my hair and then dies it a blond color and my head was on fire it killed me so after that i hated my hair color so i colored it my self a darker color, it looked so ugly and it burned me again it rully hrt so after i washed it my mom checked it for me and found small spots of blood all over my top scalp like over 20 of em now im scared and don't know why its there is it from the color am i sick and something is wrong ??
