Ok so i've only gotten my hair colored once and it was a few years ago and it was lighter highlights. I want to dye my hair darker but there are a few things I'm unsure about.
1) I know getting it done lighter is really bad for your hair but I heard that getting it done darker isnt as bad. Is that true? Whats the healthiest way to get your hair darker? because i think theres a few different things they can do.. maybe?
2) Will salons do temporary dye? I don't trust myself enough to do it myself, I want it done by a professional. But I don't want to be committed to re-dying it ever. I just want to change it up a little for summer to see how I like it. If I can get it done temporarily how long will it last?
and 3) Is it a bad idea to get it dyed for summer? I'll be outside a lot and in the water some. I don't want it to fade too much because then there wouldnt have been any point in dying it. Is there anything I should do to it to keep it from fading?
I know that was a lot of questions so thanks for listening. And any input you can give is appreciated even if you can't answer all of the questions.

But I know that from my personal experience (and I have medium brown hair) that the dye lasts up to about 3-4 weeks before it starts fading. Dark dye is actually GOOD for your hair, if you get it done professionally. None of the at-home dyes are healthy. But darker dye actaully provides nutrients. The reason highlights are bad is because it strips away pigment, where as dark dye gives you pigment. Hope I could help! [ xcgirl21's advice column | Ask xcgirl21 A Question ]
