QuestionI have dark brown hair, and I want to bleach my hair enough to dye it pink. My question is, what are the chances my hair will turn red or orange instead?Jon CornfootCommunity AnswerIf you don't use toner, your hair will turn orange. I suggest getting your hair done professionally first, then maintaining it by yourself.

QuestionIn Part 1 Step 3 it says that blonde hair will turn blue dye green. I bleached my hair and used a lovely blue dye and it turned out perfectly. Why didn't it go green?Community AnswerThis is probably because you used bleach. Without the bleach, your hair is a darker color and will not take in the blue dye as well. If you bleach blonde hair though, it is almost a white platinum color. The blue dye will attach to this color much better.

QuestionI have darker hair with a little red in it. If I use a bleaching kit, will it turn my hair blonde or ash blonde?AmberCommunity AnswerIt really just depends how dark your hair is. The bleach could turn it completely blonde or just an ashy blonde, or even a reddish tint.

QuestionI have dark- to medium-brown hair. What would happen if I had the ends dyed purple, no bleach?Community AnswerThe purple would show up on the hair, but it would be very dark. If you're adamant about not bleaching it, then I would suggest putting the color on and using a hairdryer to dry the color in. Wait for the dye to be fully dried onto your hair, then let it sit for another 10 minutes before washing out. It will make the color brighter, but it will not be vibrant or neon without the bleach.

QuestionI use an at-home dye, b61, on my hair twice. It turned out a pretty honey brown, but I want to be a dark ash blond or light ash brown. How can I achieve that still?Jennifer MckinleyCommunity AnswerDifferent brands of coloring use different numbers and letters and numbers to describe their brand colors. I assume you currently have leftover color from the brand that makes the b61, so you do need to be careful when switching brands; if you go by the number, you may get a very unwanted color. To make your hair less "warm" and more ashy, you would want to use a color with the word "ash" or "cool". This counteracts the red tones so you will be less gold. Ash can sometimes be too much, though, giving you a greenish cast. Go to a local beauty supply such as Sally's and they can see your hair and point you in the right direction.
