    Default Thinking about coloring my hair

    I'm moving back home and I have started packing for my move ( I have a job waiting for me there ). But now I'm ready to change up my looks . Including getting a younger look to appeal to my happier self .. you know what they say about a new wardrobe (I cant afford new clothes sooooo...) I was thinking of being cheap and investing in some boxed pastel colors and coloring my hair.

    My question is . Do boxed colors work? Or do you think I should wait until I get into my job and can afford it to be professionally done?

    NO! Box colors are shit! So are the so called 'pro dyes' @ Sally's.
    You very much get what you pay for, in that stuff

    I found my last 2 colorists on Yelp.
    Some salons have a kind of 'amateur night' where new stlylsts (under pro. supervision) do hair for reduced costs.

    Is there a wig store in your area? Good place to try on colors.
    Be careful of online wigs.

    Good luck!

    WOW. That is..strong!

    Ok, first off, you will need to have your hair bleached white, to take all that in. MAKE SURE Olaplex (or it's generic or other brand form, is used! Some hair product brands call it something else, but it's the same & protects your hair).

    I'd strongly suggest a wig for that, seriously.

    transformationsbyrori.com = excellent wigs, you may have to phone that one in!

    But, you do want something that's going to look good for the long haul!

    @ my one salon, only the top colorists would do that type of job, just saying.

    I just wanna throw something else @ ya:

    About 2 yrs ago, I went to a salon, Id been there a few X's, the one stylist I went to left, but I let another (not as experienced) do my hair..
    She did highlights, I was happy.

    But. Then I went back for a root/base color touch up, she went waaay too dark..
    I let her redo it, which one should NEVER.EVER let someone do, that did it wrong in the 1st place..

    I'll spare the details, but suffice to say, not only was I not happy, I'm actually lucky she didn't seriously damage my scalp.
    Btw, the salon never called me, despite me calling numerous times.

    I went to the professional license board on that one.

    I did manic panic on my kids hair. The color was killer and vibrant. But after a few washes the color faded . And I dont want the color to fade. I would want to have a good color for the long haul like you said earlier.

    I think, w/those types of colors, there's a lot of fade.

    And this works pretty well? My younger refugee (the one who wants to be a cosmetologist) was going to redo my French braid for me, but she wanted to incorporate some color into my hair.. my hair is quite dark... I've been described as 'raven haired', and I'll never need to dye it if I want to go for the goth look. So would that be a pretty effective technique for someone like me? And is it a process to get it out of I have a change of heart about it? I know I have a friend who'd been dying her hair for so long that she had to go get it completely stripped out to go back to her natural color, but that shouldn't have to happen from doing it one time, right? I've never dyed my hair, and never really considered it, so this is all new to me.

    I have dark hair as well .. but I know I've bleached it for so long I dont know if even my hair color remembers it's natural color. I would like to dye my hair or have it dyed I guess to a point where it looks like magic lol. I used to want to be a cosmetologist until i learned it's two years !

    My younger 'refugee', she seems to have a natural talent for it. And she's left her mark on everyone here... everybody (except for me currently) has at least one braid in their hair, and she really makes it look effortless. And she's really skilled at makeup... both everyday wear and she is incredibly talented when it comes to costume makeup. Well, with me having custody of her, she's eligible to receive my GI Bill benefits, so if cosmetology school is what she wants, that's what she'll get.

    I just have a lot of apprehension when it comes to having anything done with my hair, and that probably owes mostly to my upbringing. For my birthday one year, my roommates from my second set of roommates took me to a hair salon and had my hair done in a French braid. I was a bit apprehensive, but I loved the end result. Dying is a whole different matter. It's something I've desired to do for a long time, maybe adding some streaks of color of something, but never seriously considered until she began badgering me to let her do it. I'd love to have red hair, but red hair and dark eyelashes is kinda offputting to me. So maybe some highlights, streaks of color, that sort of thing. It's probably going to take a lot of reassurance before I'll bring myself to go through with it. Perhaps I'll post a photo of the end result if it get to that point. Won't be anything near as drastic as the photo you posted, though.

    Hi I’m a hairstylist.

    So please don’t do this to yourself at home. Here are some just random thoughts to consider:

    You said you don’t want it to fade, there is no possible way to avoid this, even with using lock-in products you will have fading. Especially for someone with dark hair that has to be bleached repeatedly to lift your natural color, your bleached hair is going to be more porous than most, meaning that it can’t hold onto the vibrant dyes that you are desiring. When you bleach, you damage and blow open the cuticle, so it won’t stay closed to hold these colors in as well.

    You mentioned you do not have money to buy new clothes—this look will cost you $400+ in any salon that is worth going to for this look. Going to a chain salon in the mall etc would get you a lower price, but your end result will reflect the price...these salons aren’t really guaranteed to have the best color lines and color preserving additives or treatments that premium salons have, and sometimes have less experienced stylists. Not always, but sometimes. This hair will also fade out about every 4 weeks or so and that’s how frequently you’ll need to plan to maintain the look.

    Anything that you put on your bleached hair that contains blue or green will stay there FOREVER. Meaning, when you want to do something different 2 or 3 years from now, and you go back to bleaching, or to getting hi lights on your natural color, or a balayage—wherever you put that blue or green is going to be exposed on your lightened hair. It will appear in an ugly, uneven, faded out band wherever you put it before. It doesn’t matter how long ago you did it, it will be there forever. This includes purple, as it has blue in it.

    At home colors are theeee fucking worst. Please just don’t. Especially with bleached hair, we call that “compromised” hair because it is distressed, no matter how you dice it. I’m a natural blonde and I gently bleach my hair 1.5 levels, it’s still compromised.

    There is no Olaplex that you can buy for yourself. Any products that claim they are similar that you don’t to have a license to buy, are doo doo. I’m sorry. But yes, this will absolutely save your hair from chemical processes, I use it for anyone I bleach and I have my balayage clients do a treatment in between retouch appointments on their *comptomised* ends.

    The best way I can recommend to find someone to do a beauty service is to look on IG. Search hashtags that say the service and the city, like #Seattlehairextensions, or whatever. You can usually see a lot of pictures of the stylist’s services and find someone who is like an expert and passionate about the thing you’re wanting to do.

    I haven’t seen your hair but my advice might be to plan to do regular treatments for a few months, do low lights to a color that’s closer to your natural or something you like better, or do a shadow root in your natural and tone your blonde to a gorgeous color— and have a stylist put a few tape weft extensions into your hair in a bright color that you like. This way you are working on the health of your hair overall and that should be evetyone’s goal.

    Btw the guy who did that hair in your picture is an educator for Tigi who specializes in fashion colors. So he’s like Tom Brady of color crayon hair. Consider what result you would get with a regular ol’ stylist VS. Tom Brady of Hair, or what you might pay for a comparable result.

    .
    So you're saying the Olaplex I buy is no good?
    It's sold now, in salons & Sephora..(where I usually get it
    I know it's said not to buy from Amazon (prob other places) that it's not the real deal.

    Good question—what you are probably buying is olaplex step 3 which is basically a very awesome at home treatment/deep conditioner/mask. Is it just a single step process??

    So yeah I looked on Sephora.com and they sell #3 and #4, which is a shampoo.

    So, I just kinda breezed through the thread to begin with and what I thought you were talking about before is products at like Sally that day they are “comparable to olaplex,” which nothing would be, and Sally sells a lot of garbage and hopes and dreams. But that wasn’t what you were talking about.

    Basically you can use a treatment like #3 or a shampoo like #4 to give you a small small small fraction of the rebonding effects that come from #1 and #2. I use a shampoo and a mask from a different line that are like #3 and #4 and I use them not in combination with each other and only about every third wash. So this product you are buying and using is a very good investment in your hair and yeah keep using it!

    What olaplex #1 and #2 (which are only available to salon professionals) do is very easy for anyone to find on the internet but we’re on this site talking about hair rn so what the hell—

    Hair has bonds that have been told how to be arranged in order to “be hair.” When we do chemical processes like coloring, bleaching, relaxing, perming, etc, the bonds are broken so the hair can “be something” else besides what it was told to be in the structuring of the bonds. So when the bonds are broken, that’s what we are talking about when we say compromising the hair, it becomes damaged and fragile and can break off or not take color or whatever other weird shit it wants to do or not do.

    Olaplex rebuilds the bonds so your hair can be healthy enough to just feel nicer, be stronger, take curl, take bleach without dissolving or breaking off, or take color where it couldn’t before. So it really is amazing. It’s not a protein based thing, it makes your hair feel great and look noticeably better and it is not temporary, it is forever, or until you do something again to break the bonds.

    Also if you read this and think, my stylist doesn’t use that stuff, well ask him/her to—or, there are other bond builders that people may prefer to use, Brazilian Blowout has an awesome one and so does Oligopro and Wella. So your guy or gal may be using one but you don’t know it. A lot of high end salons just include olaplex in all bleach services and build it in to what you pay, but you. Should. Ask!

    So that’s my bad, but yes #3 is a very good investment for you to use as long as you are buying from authorized retailers and Sephora is. So kudos for taking care of your hair, good job

    Here's the Sephora link:

    https://www.sephora.com/brand/olaplex

    I just usually buy & use the #3, it's a treatment you appled to dampened hair, leave it in awhile then rinse/shampoo out

    They have generic Olaplex, at Sallys, Ulta has a leave in bonding #3 by OGX brand

    When I used to go to my one salon, he said he didn't use Olaplex, but Matrix had a similar pro product, & he used that.

    What olaplex #1 and #2 (which are only available to salon professionals) do is very easy for anyone to find on the internet but we’re on this site talking about hair rn so what the hell—

    Hair has bonds that have been told how to be arranged in order to “be hair.” When we do chemical processes like coloring, bleaching, relaxing, perming, etc, the bonds are broken so the hair can “be something” else besides what it was told to be in the structuring of the bonds. So when the bonds are broken, that’s what we are talking about when we say compromising the hair, it becomes damaged and fragile and can break off or not take color or whatever other weird shit it wants to do or not do.

    Olaplex rebuilds the bonds so your hair can be healthy enough to just feel nicer, be stronger, take curl, take bleach without dissolving or breaking off, or take color where it couldn’t before. So it really is amazing. It’s not a protein based thing, it makes your hair feel great and look noticeably better and it is not temporary, it is forever, or until you do something again to break the bonds.

    Also if you read this and think, my stylist doesn’t use that stuff, well ask him/her to—or, there are other bond builders that people may prefer to use, Brazilian Blowout has an awesome one and so does Oligopro and Wella. So your guy or gal may be using one but you don’t know it. A lot of high end salons just include olaplex in all bleach services and build it in to what you pay, but you. Should. Ask!

    So that’s my bad, but yes #3 is a very good investment for you to use as long as you are buying from authorized retailers and Sephora is. So kudos for taking care of your hair, good job
    Thanks so much for your input!
    I can't really use much shampoo on my hair, my scalp's sensitive due a botch dye awhile ago

    Rn my hair's kinda bleh from this weather I think.
