hair question
My girlfriend has her hair black/brown. She wants to go back to her natural hair color which is a dirty blonde. She used a color stripper, Color Oops. It pulled most of the black out but her tips are still black.... She doesn't wanna do a bleech to damage her hair... what options or products would you reccomend? Thanks for the help!!!!!! Nov 23 12 09:59 pm Link She doesn't want to cut off her tips? She can try doing a soap cap which is basically bleach/developer, diluted with soap, similar to a color stripper a little more invasive.. If she used black box dye to dye her hair, she may have to full on bleach it to strip the black. Or just find a color to match her tips and be done with it. Honestly though, you should really have her go to a professional, even a school. Bleach is very tricky especially when you're trying to lighten from black. I personally go to a Paul Mitchell school in San Diego and can say for the price PM Schools will provide the best options for her hair (without having to fry it off), and I highly suggest you have them fix the color and repair it with a conditioning treatment. Nov 24 12 10:06 am Link I agree with the above. Doing your own color is never a good idea, but going from dark to light is notoriously tricky. My best advice: go to a professional! As the above poster said, even a school is preferable to doing it on your own..in this case your girlfriend doing it on her own. At best, she'll end up with a funky color she doesn't want & can't get rid of, at worst, she'll end up damaging her hair past the point of redemption. It would basically be mush, if it doesn't break off first. Go to a pro! Good luck and let us know what happens! Nov 24 12 02:26 pm Link |
