My hair has kinda been through hell the past year (2011) I dyed it multiple times like 5 or 6 time on time I dyed it pink and the dye gave me cold sweats I was about to pass out my head was spinning and I was about to throw up

My bro had to finish it for me


So the last color I had was a natural looking red and I liked it, but I just got a hair cut and I cant style it it looks sooo bad 9 times outa 10 :( so I decided I would dye it back to my natural color (medium brown) and the just wear my extensions that we're in that color

If any one has dyed your hair red/pink you will know what a pain it is to dye it back should have thought of that though seeing has I have dyed it pink

So I bought the Revlon hair dye in medium ash brown and it was basically my exact natural color well I dyed it and it came out about 3 shades darker then on the box
It looks like super super dark brown with red under tones *face palm face palm face palm*

So like the brilliant person I am I decided to lighten it at home (like not just getting a lighter color of box dye) this proces started earlier in the evening
First I tryed the whole putting lemon juice in the hair the blow drying it no differce at all
So after that I put some hydrogen peroxide in my hair I was afraid it would work like crazy fast so I left it in for like 5 min...guess what no diffrence!
I then had to go out to dinner with family so I gave up (temporally) I got home looked up how to properly lighten hair with peroxide and I'm doing just that

So siting on the bathroom floor with peroxide in my hair waiting for it to dry spray more in repeat... Arghh oh did I mention it's 3 am at the moment?

This is spray number 2 I think it will be dry for 3 in ten minute




I will let y'all know how this works out

haha, I dyed my hair atleast 12 times last year, not to mention on the 30th of October when I went from red to blonde whilst having so much purple pigment also, it took 4 sets of bleaching (I get it done professionally and the whole thing took 10 straight hours!) and then my roots were bleached seperately, and then the colour was put on twice. My hair is so messed up right now

Grey's Anatomy fan! woo.

^ That.

I'm never dying my hair.

Little white flowers will never awaken you, not when the cold depths have all but overtaken you.

Dearest, The days are all so long,
and in the shadows I spend them all.
My heart and I long for slumber.
Slumber I'm caressing you, I bless your touch, I lust for you.
Slumber you are not a dream, Not as much as you seem.

I don't want to dye my hair either.

And dying your hair that much can cause it to fall out.

I'd never dye mine completely. Recently I've wanted to dye the bottom of my hair in blue. When I'm bored of it I'll just cut it haha.

Suddenly my eyes are open
Everything comes into focus, oh!
We are all illuminated,
Lights are shining on our faces
We are, we are blinded !
We are, we are blinded !

I'd go to a hairdressers to get that done properly.
There's quite a few things that could go wrong with lightening your hair at home.
You've got to be careful with hydrogen peroxide because it can really dry out your hair, for some people it's dried it out so much that it's become really fragile and straw like, and has even just snapped in the middle! D:
That, or it goes a horrible orange-y colour...

I've dyed my hair a few times, but nothing major.
I had some red put into it, I went dark-ish red all over and then about 5 months ago I came back to my natural dark brown colour and had some ginger-y highlights put into it.


Also, if you're keeping hyrdogen peroxide around the house, make sure it's kept in a place it's not going be knocked over or anything, or anywhere it will be exposed to heat as it's considered highly oxidising and flammable.

Because I like to be interesting and go all bright colours ;D

Grey's Anatomy fan! woo.

I've never dyed my hair but i always make it straight and use products to make it curly sometimes which really made it very weak :|!

um where did you here that
not true, yes dying it alot can make it brittle and weak dry ends but it wont just fall out of the follicle because it has been dyed doesnt work that way

however the hair may be dry there for break which could be mistaken as falling out
