Hair dye help!

WRITTEN BY

OK, so I lost a bet to my hockey team, and I need to dye my goatee/mustache purple. It’s temporary; I plan to shave it off the next day. But I have never dyed my hair, and I desperately need help/guidance. Please chime in!

    Ive been looking through this for awhile but i cant find an anwser for what i should do.
    my hair was died blonde over the summer, its damaged. I have naturally very dark dair, so
    i fgured insead of spending money constantly to dye it blonde, why not dye it black
    and let it grow out? excep tthat yes, it is black, but it is fading in places back to blonde! i would love for my hair to be bonde again, or just healthy looking, i have probably two inches or roots that arent blonde under the black. any suggestions? it looks.. not so great.

    I dyed my dark brown hair for the frist time this morning. It turned out BLACK, I used Dawn dish soap to wash some of the color out, and it did work a little, right now I am sitting here with baking soda and Dawn on my head. Will let you know how it turns out. My ADVICE to all, check the color every 5 mins, (if not sooner) if it looks like it is turning to dark get it off your head ASAP, I should have washed it out after 10 mins. instead of the 30 it called for.

    Well here’s the results, washed out the baking soda and Dawn, then soaked my head in conditioner, rinsed, hair is still black, but doesn’t seem as black, can see some brown, and can see some of the grey I was trying to cover up. Plan to wash my hair everyday for awhile. If you need to take cemicals out of your hair, use Dawn dish soap, and lots of conditioner after wards. Hope this helps someone.

    can you dye you hair agen the next day after you have dyed it

  • Elisa Schweizer

    You can color your hair the following day especially if you are going darker. Do me a favor though go to a professional colorist before you have a extremely expensive corrective color on your hands.

    I dyed my hair the other week and it has turned out a lot darker than on the cover of the box. I have been reading a lot of comments and a lot of helpful information. I am thinking about using the dish washing liquid but I live in Spain and I don’t think we have Dawn liquid. Will Fairy Liquid do? I look really pale in color and really want to know if I can just simply put another lighter hair dye on straight away. What is anyone’s advice?
