hair dyeddddd=died

hey everyone, i got my hair dyed yest at this salon. The girls there were B I A T C H E S…and were really unhelpful. Ive dyed my hair really lgiht before- like blondish, but this time around i was debating if i should dye my hair a bit darker. When i told her how i wanted it done..shes like okay…even tho i didnt think she understood me. My hair turned out really dark.. than expected. On top of that my roots are lighter then the rest of my hair - which she told me wud happen because i had left my roots grow in for too long.
It doesnt look horrible…but i guess im not used to darker hair. Considering its summer time - im thikning to get it toned lighter sometime this week— recommendations?? — i thnk im killing my hair…and spending a bit TOOOO MUCH. it cost me a lot yest. I was just haivng a super bad day and i didnt want to deal with n e thing. so i just let it go AGHHH

wat to do?!

Re: hair dyeddddd=died

your hair is gonna have the consistancy of dry straw if u overdo it. Trust me....i've seen what happened to my nand's hair..she used to get it done every two weeks and she'd use a straightner every other day. It always looked so dry and stiff ..
I stay stick with your color for now...try changing it next month and get some deep conditioning treatment if you dye your hair often

Re: hair dyeddddd=died

IF u want it lighter but same color than they can use the tone ? on it and it wl make it better....get that done instead of going agian after a month or so and repeating the whole procedure and paying again.

Re: hair dyeddddd=died

thanks for the adviceee :)

also how often can u dye ur hair - the last time i dyed my hair was in the summer...

Re: hair dyeddddd=died

try not to get them done more than once a year...if you can avoid that too thats all the better :D

Re: hair dyeddddd=died

I totally agree with Maham, do not dye your hair very often, dye wrecks your hair :(

Re: hair dyeddddd=died

yeah its true once dyed,always died ...the hair become so brittle and prone to breakage..its better to always avoid them...i wonder how people take risks about their hair..i love curly hair but i have straight hair and whenever i want to make them look curly i always revert back that no may be they wud turn bad ....also once i went to a hair dresser and she herself said to me ur hair is so good..dont ruin them by doing this...i dotn know to what extent she is true but still i avoid any type of experiment with my hair..

Re: hair dyeddddd=died

dark colors are actually in..

Re: hair dyeddddd=died

My hair was dyed every color, shade and hue possible! From black/blue to purple! But conditioning is the key..ALWAYS keep u're hair conditioned..

Re: hair dyeddddd=died

i agree with Gina, i love experimenting with my hair. hav highlighted thm quite a few times and quite often straighten thm. but at the same time, i use proper hair serums, conditioners, oils etc to take care of my hair.
protein treatment is a good solution for damaged hair problems along with deep conditioning once a week.

Re: hair dyeddddd=died

what kind of conditioners/oils and serums do u recommend
i have very dry corse hair, thick and curly lol

i use sunsilk usually the three step with leave-in conditioner. and after i put in baby oil in my hair.
:S i dunno i was told by my old hair dresser to do that. this hair dresser was a bit b i tchy...and unhelpful..

any recommendations.. i wanna fix my hairrrrr

Re: hair dyeddddd=died

First of all, Dark is in fashion. Light is outdated.

Secondly if you dye it again your hair will turn into dry brittle hay strands that will look horrible.

Thirdly dark color doesnt stay on the hair for that long, it'll wash away in a few shampoos to a lighter shade that will match your roots.

Till then be patient and style your hair in ponytails and updos rather then thinking of damaging it in other ways.

Re: hair dyeddddd=died

Its ok Baigette, dark hair is cool. You'll get used to it in a week or so. They probably sem terrible to u cos ur not used to having dark hair otherwise im sure they don't look bad. Just keep shampooing and that will wash out some excess too.

Re: hair dyeddddd=died

yea its acutally gone lighter - im happy with the color - next time ill get it lighter - altho i hate getting my hair dyed lol

--- but any recommendations of conditioners -- i havent been using n e color treatment conditioners since :( yikes i didnt think about it
