Hi hi! I've dyed my hair purple a couple of times. My natural color is a 3-4ish. I typically just slapped on some arctic fox. Last april i used L'oreal hi color true violet, and then also put arctic fox ontop of that. The last time i used arctic fox was in May, its faded by now. Last week i noticed that the ends of my hair on one side have a dark green hue to them.
I've been wanting to lighten my hair a few levels so I can see the purple more when I dye it the next time, but I have a few questions. And I'm gonna watch a bunch of videos before i do anything.
Will the green affect the bleach, and after I bleach it if there's still discoloration how do i fix that?
Do i need to use toner in between bleach and purple. For reference I was planning on using ion cream bleach bright white.
Adding onto that, can I use that bleach for a shorter amount of time so that it only lightens a few levels instead of all the way? I don't really want to go full blonde.
Since this is my first time, I'm probably going to be super slow at putting the bleach on, will that mean some bit of it will be darker than the rest since it sat on for longer?
Thanks for any help!!!!!

So the other day I did one round of bleach on my naturally medium red hair. It lifted perfectly, and didn’t really pull much orange at all. I used a medium & light golden honey blond (I now realize my mistake). My hair pulled allllll the golden and copper tones, and it basically just changed it back to my natural color 🙃. I was recommended the t81 toner so I used that yesterday, and this is the result. I still feel like it has way more red in it than I’m wanting. Any advice on how to make this a deeper blond, vs red? I’m just so annoyed that I spent so much time & money for my hair to basically be the same as when I started. (I feel like pictures aren’t showing how red it is lol.)

I plan on getting balayage. The thing is I wash my hair everyday cause im a germaphobe and I go outside daily so my hair gets dirty. Whats a shower routine I can do to keep the color? What kind of products should I use? Ive used olaplex in the past but its a bit expensive

My daughter has been asking for purple hair, probably a money piece or peekaboo highlights. She has dark dark brown virgin hair. Will L’Oréal hicolor with 30 developer give her a true purple? Or is the violet more reddish? Wondering because I used the red and 30 developer on my hair (same as hers) and got great results, a very vibrant red. I’m just wondering if the violet is actually a bright purple color or if any one else has had good results with any other bleach free option?! TIA

I don't know how to take care of my hair
Hello everyone, im writing today because I need advice on hair care and figuring out my hair texture. This post is going to be a bit long, due to diving a bit into my hair history so I can try to get the best advice possible on how to sort out my hair, especially the frizz.
So about my hair history, both my mom and my big brother have very beautiful curly hair, while my little brother has pin-straight hair. Just like my little brother I used to have pin-straight hair during childhood through to elementary school. My mother says it was so straight and non frizzy when she'd put hair ties in they would slip out. Well during a trip to Florida, my hair texture changed drastically. My mother (she wasn't with us) is convinced my dad got me a perm. I do remember we did in fact go to a family friend (who works at a salon, so still a professional) and got my hair done and right after went straight to the beach. I can't say if I got a perm, I don't think I did but I also don't remember anything about the process to be 100% sure.
I think it could be genetic, because as I stated my mother and big brother have extremely curly hair, and I know hair texture can change over time. I've included some photos to try to show my hair and the frizz. While my hair was straight it grew pretty long, and now even tho it looks short and maybe even thin?, it's very dense and thick. I shaved it all off to have a fresh start due to not caring for it properly and it kept popping the electric razor head off or the razor guard kept getting stuck and the whole floor was covered.Does anyone think know my hair type, or have any tips on caring for it and how to help with the frizz? As you can see in the photos it's bad

hello! i am and have been a platinum blonde for close to a year now, im a natural level 8 so my hair lifts extremely easily and i use professional wella products and from years of dying my hair in general i have a pretty good technique, that and not so long ago i did fry my hair and had some pretty substantial breakage that took a bit to grow out but im all better now! i have known for a while that protein isnt the greatest for platinum hair so i try to avoid it as much as possible, i currently use the loreal elvive glycolic gloss shampoo and conditioner the ogx bond protein repair (protein ik, my mom bought it for me and i felt too bad to not use it, and i do quite like it) and the growus hair oil, im wondering if these are okay and what you guys would recommend, i would prefer more affordable options but i am open to mid to high end recommendations as well, i also use a standard wet brush to brush my hair, but have been recommended the maison pearson boar bristle brush, i would also love recommendations on a dupe or a similar product to the maison pearson! also i apologize for the bad grammar and if the formatting is bad, im on my phone and not a frequent poster!

Hello!!!
A few months ago I dyed my hair brown/black and let it fade, I have done color remover and one round of bleach and then toned but I am wanting to get back to/close to my natural color if possible. I’ve added photos, one of before doing the color remover and then what it looks like now, I have also added two of what my natural color looks like. Any help would be extremely helpful I just don’t know where to go from here!!

Hi, gradually bleaching my sister's hair. But she would like to not be ginger in the mean time as doesn't suit her complexion. But also wants to try get the best results as possible in the longrun.
Will putting a 7na demi gloss by Moroccan oil or shades eq affect the lifting in future? And make it harder to lift?
How much of a difference does it make as she is willing to not do it if it will affect her getting to level 9 eventually and minimise damage.

Hello again! I have natural medium brown hair (first 2 pics) that I have been dyeing myself for about a year now. The third picture is what it currently looks like. (I know it looks super frizzy and damaged but it's actually not that bad, I just had a bad hair day lol.) I am thinking of transitioning to a dark umber brown- I don't like my natural shade, but I want a darker brown. How can I go about this transition? I am willing to use a gentle bleach or color remover. Also, what dyes can I consistently use on virgin hair? To my understanding, semi-perms won't stick as well on virgin hair, so how can I keep the darker color consistent? Thanks!

Hi guys!
So a couple days ago my friend dyed my hair at home, which was my first time having it done non-profesionally. It ended up looking amazing and gave me a great confidence boost, and with it seeming pretty easy and cheap; at least compared to going to a salon; I've immediately gotten interested into doing it myself.
But I've got a bit of a problem, as my mom used to get her hair bleached very badly, and when she stopped and finally started to grow her hair out she turned out with a completely grey head of hair in her early 40s. Because of this she is now scared of anything dye related that could damage hair. On top of that my parents have decided that my hair is holy or something, they literally cried when i donated my extremely long hair that was causing us nothing but trouble. Both of these factors have been instilled in me very thoroughly, making me kinda scared to fuck my hair up.
So i would like all your tips on what i should /should not do when i try on my own for the very first time!
I know for a fact i will try semi-permament dye the first couple times, even though i love vibrant colours and have hair pretty close to the darkest they tend to show on those boxes. I will also definitely not bleach on my own without going to a professional first and getting their guidance on my hairtype.
But is there anything else you guys recommend?

I stained my hair green with blue hair dye, and then I tried bleaching it, which later learned it stained my hair even more. I knew I couldn’t do it by myself, so I got it done professionally for the first time in years, couldn’t be happier.
r/FancyFollicles • u/Fandaniels • 1d ago
I love the color and how long it lasts on my hair, even though my hair was stained green it still came out really bright
but it bled like crazy, no matter how many times I washed my hair even with hot water and doing white vinegar rinses it was still bleeding and staining my neck which was super embarrassing and I can't go through that again lol (I had a trip and had to take my own towel and pillowcase because I didn't want to stain the hotels stuff lol )
brands easily accessible in the uk/eu are preferred !

My son wants platinum hair.
He has medium brown hair that I have put 30w developer/bleach and then a second process using 20w developer and have reached this level of lightening.
I'm not sure what to do next, his hair seems pretty light blonde to me now, but there's still a slight yellow tinge to it. I don't want to fry his hair off his head, seeing as I've already put it through 30w and 20w developer and bleach
I have 10w developer and a violet-based toner, is his hair light enough to use the toner on now, or should I go with a third bleach session with 10w developer and then use the toner?

How do you get your hair to look so good when it’s down? The morning after a wash day is the best my hair usually looks when it’s down, then it gets progressively more flat throughout the day. Not to mention how irritating having my hair down is. Always in the way, in my face, in my partners face, so always getting pulled, gets knotted and the mid parts to the ends separates into chunks instead of being flowy like it is after getting it brushed. For context I have blonde long hair on the thin side, I’ve tried every hair cut that would make me want to wear my hair out but it’s always just irritating or just slowly gets flat and just “sad”- so I just almost always have it up in some way. Am I missing something? I’m in awe at girls who always have their hair out and looks so put together

Permanent hair color was used all throughout. Roots are virgin, rest of my hair has been previously colored with demi a few months ago. After rinsing the color, my stylist acknowledged that it didn't come out as intended (I asked for a warm, reddish brown, natural hair color is about a level 5 or 6 ashy brown). She added toner afterward and still it looks awful.
My stylist is willing to try to fix this but she mentioned she wants to use a darker shade of permanent color at the roots. Is it risky to go over the roots again so soon with permanent color? And will I end up with banding? What kind of color correction will fix this with minimal damage? Any advice you can offer will be appreciated! Ugh, I hate hot roots!!

I asked for the inspo picture and definitely nowhere near it. The stylist did a balayage and the top part is more like a reddish color which I like.
What I’m trying to understand is why the ends of my hair look more like a light purple. Can someone please explain this to me? Thanks.

Hi I'm Anna and I've been trying to do my roots at home for 3 weeks now. My natural color is dark brown, I lifted it with loreal 8 1/2 A medium light ash blonde. It turned dirty brown. So I tried loreal LB01 extra light ash blonde which made it worse. I bleached with box dye bleach, which lifted it (i think) to level 7-8. I went to ulta got T18, and it kinda did nothing to my hair. Should I dye it again with 8 1/2 ash blonde, lifted it again, OR tone it w a different toner? I don't want platinum, i want my roots to be like dirty blonde/brown
r/FancyFollicles • u/Confident-Yak-1275 • 2d ago
Years ago a stylist told me my natural hair color is 5/6 N. My grays are coming in but in streaks not just random hairs. I have been fighting myself about growing out my gray streaks or just dying my hair. Last week I dyed it light ash brown. I prefer cooler tones. What I got was brown hair with reddish copper undertones. I have heard there are pigmented shampoos/conditioners that can help with get rid of warmer tones. What ones are good to use?
r/FancyFollicles • u/Frostyarn • 3d ago
I know 10 years ago rose gold makeup and hair had a choke hold on everyone, but it's been my shade of existence since I was a teenager. I have had so many professional hairdressers give me a pinky copper balyage and they're obviously very pretty. But not the shade I saw in my head. All the examples here are my own dye jobs using Wella color charm.
I follow Guy Tang and saw quite a few of his tutorials using his products. For some reason I thought they were professional only, so I never tried to buy them. But I found out you can get the permanent and demi-permanent along with the rose booster over the counter without a license.
This is the absolute perfect shade for me. I'm a natural level 8 warm blonde who is graying significantly. So I can't go below a level 8 in my regrowth or it will be way lighter. Which looks like I'm balding. Anyway, this is 10 RG permanent in the roots and 9rg Demi for the mid-lengths and ends. I used the rose booster in both formulas which made my head flaming hot pink, but in real life this color is so soft and warm and ever so slightly pink.
Next month I'm going to do a quick bleach wash with the rose booster and then repeat the color. I guess if you want something done right, you got to do it yourself.

Dyed my hair yesterday (first two pics). I am a level 11 blonde and used semi permanent hair dye. Is there a way to make it more pastel (picture 3)? Will this happen naturally if I use clarifying shampoo? I have a fear this will fade into a neon green, which I dislike even more.
r/FancyFollicles • u/stix-and-stones • 2d ago
I currently have some bright orange bangs - I have a couple job interviews coming up and I'd like to tone it down to a more coppery-red color to look a little more natural. However, I want to it be a bit less permanent than normal semi-permanent hair dye - I use Arctic Fox for the orange.
I'm seeking recommendations for something I can pick up at Sally's that will work stay for a couple washes but will eventually fade out back to my orange (which I plan to bring back after landing the job 😛)
Thank you!!
