Hair dyeing, again (fixed the spelling ;-)

Post Reply New Topic

So last night was my youngest daughters turn to dye her hair again, and she asked for my help because her sister was at school. This is what she did. She parted it across the back from an inch above each ear, straight across and put the top part up in a pony tail. Then she dyed the bottom half black.

After that, she covered the black part in plastic and bleached the rest of it out and then dyed it bright neon pink. The pink looks great over the black part underneath. I think it looks really, really good.

But then she did her nails in that crackle lacqour stuff I don't like. Half hot pink and half bright yellow green. I hate that crackle stuff.

Sounds good, I'd love to try green hair personally. I had my hair dyed pink at the hairdresser's once but the dye didn't take very well

You have to bleach it first, then dye it with the color, unless you are naturally blonde. We left the bleach on hers for an hour and it bleached her hair out almost white. The pink is very bright and very pink and it turned out very even. Looks great over the black part. I don't know what brands you have where you live, or I'd suggest the one she used.

Thanks for the reply! They bleached it but I have very dark brown hair so maybe not for long enough, the pink dye just washed out and left lighter brown underneath. My current job doesn't allow me to dye my hair an interesting colour but when my contract finishes I might try again.

Her hair was already dyed so many dark colors that it was hard to bleach, but if you leave it on close to an hour, it all comes out almost white. The color dye may not have been permenant, that may be why it washed right out. Also, if you don't leave the color on long enough, sometimes those neon's wash out pretty fast. You want your hair to be very, very light blonde before you put it on. Using the shampoos and conditioners for colored hair helps keep it from turning to straw. She bleaches and dyes hers at least once a month and her hair is very healthy feeling and soft.

The brand she used is Splat, but she says Manic Panic is also good. You might could find them online if they don't sell them over there.

I think next time we are going to the Chinese store in Tuscaloosa to get dye. I don't remember the name of it, but everybody calls it the Chinese store because it's owned by some Oriental people and everybody that works there is Oriental. It's HUGE. It's the size of a super Wal Mart and it's all beauty supply and wedding, prom and pageant stuff. They have everything there from hair to toes and they have every color dye, nail polish and makeup you could want. I bought my fake boobs there (silicone inserts and a special bra, because I don't normally have boobs very much but I rarely wear them)

Thank you for the tips, I'll have a look at the brands online as I'm in the UK. Enjoy your shopping

Hair dying means balding. Hair dyeing is coloring the hair.

I remember my green haired days. I drove my mum nuts.

That reminds me, I need to dye mine again. The roots are showing.

"Who was that blonde woman I saw you with last night?"

That was my wife.

"I thought you married a brunette?"

I did. She dyed.
