Expert Answer

Wash your hair with cool water, and condition your hair from the roots to the ends. Keeping your hair moisturized is a big part of maintaining your color, because the stronger you keep your hair cuticle, the better it's going to be able to hold onto the shade.

Question

Can I dye my hair pink without bleaching it?

Staff Answer

Possibly, but only if you have hair that's already fairly light. If you dye your hair pink or any other fantasy color, try not to wash your hair as often to maintain the color. When you do shampoo your hair, use sulfate-free shampoos that are complementary to the color you chose.

Choose color-safe, sulfate-free hair care products to use on your hair. This will preserve your hair color for as long as possible.

Question

Should I dye my hair myself or ask a stylist?

Community Answer

It would be safer to let your stylist do it the first time. Coloring your own hair can be tricky sometimes, especially with a strong color as pink.

Question

How long do permanent dyes last?

Community Answer

Permanent hair dye is permanent, but the color usually starts to fade after around one or two months, depending on how frequently you shampoo. You can just re-dye the roots as needed if the color isn't too faded.

Question

My hair is bleached red. What color will it turn if I mix pink and blue semi-permanent dye into it?

Community Answer

Since you have red hair, pink and blue will make it purple. If you don't want to risk it, cut a small piece of hair, and try this.

Question

My hair is blonde, but it's not white-blonde, it's a slightly darker shade of blonde. Will the color show up?

Ashleigh Wampler

Community Answer

It will show up, but the color might not be as vibrant as you want, so you should bleach it if you want a bright pink. If you've already bleached it I suggest using a toner so the dye will fade to a lighter and lighter pink instead of an orangey-peach shade.

Is there a way to color just some of my hair pink?

Kylie Beckley

Yes, there are many ways. One is to highlight it, another is to just dye strands.

Question

How do I dye my hair naturally so it washes out?

Community Answer

You can use Kool-Aid mix, just make sure your hair is wet. You could also use Jello mix but it doesn't work as well. Lastly, you could use a washable marker and just color on your hair. I used a purple marker on my dark brown hair once and it worked really well.

Question

Do you have to use the toning shampoo? And what does it mean when it says to not leave hair lightening on for longer than recommended?

Community Answer

You do not have to use the toning shampoo if you don't want to. However, you may get a warmer shade than you expected if you don't use it and sometimes it may be unpleasant. If you leave bleach on for longer than recommended time, it may damage your hair.

Question

What does "bleach" mean?

Belle K.

Top Answerer

Bleaching literally means to put bleach on your hair. It lightens your hair. Consult the article Bleach Your Hair for details.

Question

I have black hair. And my hair is really healthy but I don't know about bleaching my hair. What should I do? I am also deciding to do a partially blue dye.

Belle K.

Top Answerer

You cannot dye black hair directly because if you dye black hair, you cannot see the dye color. That is why you have to bleach it first before you dye it.

Question

I've tried to dye my hair silver and pink on my already-bleached hair (done by a hair stylist), but when I wash it, the color is very faint and lasts for a day or two. How can I make it last longer?

Community Answer

If you get it permanent, then it should stay in longer. Wash your hair with cold water, and don't wash it the next day after going to the salon.
