i am a teenager and i really want to dye my hair but my mom refuses to allow it unless i can find one that washes out and isnt that bad for my hair. i have always wanted brown hair. i had gold hair when i was little but now its kinda dirty blonde because i have natural sun bleaching or whatever. i was reading something about some brands you found at wal mart and i was wondering if you would suggest them or any other brands that wash out and not grow out you know? so thank you.
I would also recommend using temporary dye seeing this is would your first time, I have been doing hair for years and from experience whatever you do stay away from Nice N Easy as it is heavy on the hair and difficult to wash out.
A permanent dye usually last me around 2-3 months before my roots start to grow out noticeably, Temporary dye can last up to a month depending on the brand you use. When you dye your hair, Be careful not to over do it. As dyeing your hair too much can lead to hair damage, Ugly colors and eventually hair loss. I recommend dying your hair every 5-6 months if you were to keep up with it.
NEVER dye your hair from a dark color to a light, (Say you did Black to Blond) More than likely it will not come out and instead of Blond you will more than likely get a orange look. IF you were to ever bleach your hair, Use a hair bleaching kit. Never use any home remedies as it is NOT supposed to be used on hair. After you dye your hair wait 24 hours to wash it and stay away from any pools that may contain chlorine.
NyadesRoadGhost answered Thursday July 1 2010, 3:28 am: Any of the temporary hair dyes are generally good to use, because they last from 6 weeks to 2 months or so, and they're usually pretty subtle, which is probably what your mom would prefer. My only piece of real advice is this: DO NOT GET THE TEMPORARY DYE THAT REQUIRES YOU TO BLEACH YOUR HAIR BEFORE DYEING IT. If you do this, after the dye fades in a few weeks, you'll be left with bleached blonde/gray/yucky color. Believe me, I've made this mistake. Other than that, look for the brands that use no harmful ammonia- that can cause your hair to break. Hope I helped! [ NyadesRoadGhost's advice column | Ask NyadesRoadGhost A Question ]
