Hair Dye


Question Posted Wednesday April 20 2005, 11:32 pm

I want to dye my hair... not permanent, but not too temporary. I found a hair dye that's made by L'Oreal, called Color Pulse, that comes in a color that I would like for my hair. I have dark brown hair, and Color Pulse supposidly works on dark hair. It lasts for 8-10 shampoos, and also contains no peroxide or ammonia.

Has anyone used this before? What do you think? Is there anyother types of dyes that you would recommend in place of this? I am looking for a dark purpleish plumish type color, if that helps.

Thanks!

There should be no harm in using temporary or semipermanent hairdye, regardless of the brand, but I wouldn't expect it to work.

As I understand it, most dyes work by being absorbed into the actual strand of hair, so they don't wash out... It's like staining a rag. Even semi- and demi-permanent dyes do this. It's much easier to "stain" your hair if it's damaged, becuase the dye can seep into the hair through the tight outer layer. This is why people often use peroxide or ammonia before dying.

If you have healthy hair, it won't work well. You have to damage your hair for it to stick. Further, since you have dark hair, any color is just going to make your hair look black with a funny colored shine in the light. I tried going violet for prom last year, and I have very healthy, dark brown hair. It all but washed out before I even made it to the ballroom.

So, if you dye your hair without bleaching, expect to get about one shampoo out of the dyejob, NOT counting the one to rinse the dye off the surface of your hair immediately after you get it done. And if your hair is dark, or even medium brown, expect it to look black no matter what color you use.

I've used it. My hair is dirty blonde and I tried the reddish kind. It looked really natural and stuff, but it washed out in 2 shampoos for me. I did it exactly as the directions, so I don't know how it would work for you.. If you don't like it or anything, it's not permanent so just give it a try but don't go too drastic! (dark brown to really blonde = bad idea) But your hair color and the hair color you want..it'll probably work out nice. xo

I havent use it but my friend has. Its really good because if you get sick of it in a few days it washes out, it looks really good and takes a few minutes to do it. I think you should stick to the colour pulse.

luv roxie

I just used colorpulse. I had highlights (not natural) and i put my color as Chilled Plum. It turned out pink and i got kicked out of school. So if you have highlights i would recommend dying your hair your original color (brown, black, red, etc.) and then do the colorpulse! hope i helped

Do not dye your hair your self unless you have been dyeing hair for a long time.Get your hair dyed at the salon.I work at a beauty salon and you would not belive how many people mess up while trying to dye their hair themselves

Yeah I use color pulse for my hair, and it's kind of dark brown, and I try to make it look lighter... it really works, people have noticed a dramatic change... well, not "dramatic" but it'll definetely get the color you want it to be!
