I want to dye the under side of my hair black but since it is the summer I want to go swimming at the local pool. How fast will they dye fade if I go swimming about every other day to everday?

LM answered Thursday July 5 2012, 9:48 pm: It'll fade pretty quickly, especially with daily washing. Your best bet would be waiting until fall, or tying your hair up while you swim to avoid exposure to chemicals and the resulting need to shampoo. If you DO dye your hair now, be sure to deep condition your hair frequently, and consider buying a protecting spray or even putting conditioner into your hair before you swim (it makes a barrier). Back when I would dye my hair in the summer, I'd use a leave-in spray conditioner from Aussie and it seemed to help prevent fading.
Also, true black dye is almost impossible to remove from hair - most people have to strip their hair to get it out and it can't be dyed over. I'd suggest a very dark brown (which will LOOK black at first, anyway, before it starts fading) to reduce the damage to your hair even further, at least until you're sure that you're willing to have black hair until it grows out/strip it out.
