  • Question
    How can I convince my parents to let me dye my hair?
    Community Answer
    You could ask them to try a more natural semi-permanent hair color over a holiday (if you're still in school). This way they will get used to seeing you with a different hair color and may change their mind over time.
  • Question
    What if you have grey eyes?
    Community Answer
    If you have grey eyes, I recommend dying your hair a bright color so your eyes will pop. Blue could be nice. Brown could also be nice if you wanted a natural color.
  • Question
    Can I dye my hair light pink with toned skin?
    Community Answer
    Yes. Pink is usually a fun bet. It looks great against darker skin tones, and it makes most peopleos eyes pop.
  • Question
    How do I get my parents to allow me to dye my hair a darker shade of brown and/or get some green highlights?
    Community Answer
    I suggest you sit them down and answer any questions/concerns they may have. I also suggest that you point out to them that since you are dyeing your hair a darker shade like brown, it will require no bleaching, and if you get highlights, then it will require minimal bleach. Starting a week or two before you ask them, make sure that you keep up your grades, do your chores, etc. to show them that you are responsible. If after all this they say no, don't get angry or beg, tell them that you respect their decision, as this will show them that you are mature. After a while, maybe 2-3 weeks, try asking them again.
  • Question
    I have pale skin, red/auburn hair, and grey/blue eyes, so would teal be a good color for me?
    Community Answer
    For a paler skin tone, I'd recommend something along the lines of an indigo blue or purple if you're looking for a change.
  • Question
    What shade could someone with brown eyes and pale skin use that doesn't make her skin look washed out?
    Community Answer
    Red, pink, or something like that should work. It also depends on your hair color though.
  • Question
    I want to dye my dishwater blonde hair. I have grey-blue eyes and pale skin. Would the colors burgundy or plum look good with my cool tones without washing out my naturally rosy cheeks?
    Community Answer
    Burgundy and plum are both good hair colors for your skin tone. Both colors would make your grey-blue eyes pop and will compliment the red and pink in your cheeks.
  • Question
    How do I pick the right color to dye my hair?
    Community Answer
    Try your favorite color. A tip though, if you are pale, don't choose a green or yellow, or you will look sick. If you are naturally tan, greens and yellows are OK. If you are naturally pale, try medium bright colors. Try to stay away from darks, which can make you look extra pale. If you have mousy brown or dirty blonde hair, gray, white, blue, and greens fade 10x as fast. If you have gingery hair, red dye works nicely and is also slow to fade. Purple fades to a gross brownish grey with honey hair. Pastel pink fades to a gross orange yellow color. Mahogany fades to a carmely color with red undertones.
  • Question
    How can I cover up blue hair dye?
    Community Answer
    If you want it faded or almost gone, you can actually jump in a pool (most pools have a specific chemical in them that washes out hair dye), and most of the hair dye will be out, and the bleach will still be there. Or, you could get a professional to remove it.

    Maybe a violet, or an army green.
  • Question
    What if I have acne and redness in my skin?

    Just dye your hair the color you want. One should not affect the other.
  • Question

    I look like that and dyed my hair that color. It looked great, if I do say so myself!
  • Question
    How do I dye black hair an unnatural color?
    Community Answer
    Considering you have black hair, you should definitely bleach it. If you don't, you probably won't be able to notice the difference and the color won't look how you want it to.
  • Question
    What is a good unnatural color for someone with medium-tone skin and blonde hair?

    A pink or lavender. Remember to think about what colors go with your clothing, or what best suits you.
  • Question
    How do I choose an unnatural color to dye my hair if I have almost black hair now?

    You'll definitely need to bleach your hair, first. After that, you have pretty much free range to pick a color.
  • Question
    How do I pick the right color to dye my hair tips?
    Community Answer
    Tips will usually end up looking good with any color. But if you’re cool toned, I’d lean towards purples. If you’re warm toned, I’d say something reddish.
  • Question
    Which hair colors look nice on a girl with pale skin, brown eyes and brown hair?
    Community Answer
    A light shade of red, dark or hot pink, orange, maybe even platinum blond would look nice. Any of these would make your eyes stand out. If you're going to do hot pink, orange, or blond, you might want to bleach your hair first.
  • Question
    Can I dye my hair any color if I have pale skin?

  • Question
    Where can I buy any of these unnatural dyes?

    A lot of everyday shops carry unnatural colors, or you could get dyes from your hairdresser.
  • Question
    If I have golden brown hair, blue-gray eyes, and a pale skin tone, what color would look best?

    Community Answer
    I would recommend a shade of blue because it will bring out your eyes, but it shouldn't be too bright since you have a pale skin tone, and that could make your complexion look even paler.
  • Question
    I have honey blonde red(ish) natural hair. Which shade of color should I buy to get hot pink hair?
    Community Answer
    You should use bleach and then a hot pink color.
  • Question
    I have mousy brown hair with green eyes, would it make me look sick if I dyed my hair turquoise?
    Community Answer
    Turquoise is a shade of green, so with green eyes, that would not work. Instead, try dark blue or plum. If you want a light color, maybe try lilac or sky blue.
  • Question
    My hair is black, and I have dark brown eyes, a bit pale with a olive undertone. I am planning on dying my front two hair strands but what color should I do?
    Community Answer
    Your best bet would be either a nice dark teal or a hazel if you want a natural color.
  • Question
    My eyes change from green to blue, based on what color I wear. I prefer it when they are blue. My skin is sort of pale, and my hair's already light. What color would be best?
    Community Answer
    Purples are good. Also greens, as green and blue almost always work well with each other.
  • Question
    My eyes change from green to blue, based on what color I wear. I prefer it when they are blue. My skin is sort of pale, and my hair's already dirty blonde (light brown). What color would be best?

    For your appearance, what looks best are cold colours, like light blue, purple, green and also pink.
  • Question
    What color should I dye my dirty-blonde hair? I have warm undertones with blue-grey eyes and tan skin?
    Community Answer
    Light blue would really bring your eyes out. A blue ombre would look the best.
  • Question
    I have light tan skin, blue gray eyes, and dark brown hair. Would blue hair look good on me?
    Community Answer
    Try a light, baby blue or pastel shade. You could also possibly pull off a dark sort of royal blue colour if you like it darker. Maybe even an ocean blue with a teal ombre effect.
  • Question
    What colors are best for someone with light skin, freckles and strawberry blonde hair?
    Community Answer
    I suggest going with a brighter color if that suits your personality more because your freckles would pop but if you don't have that type of personality try a lighter/darker color such as pastel pink, pastel blue, or charcoal grey but keep in mind since your hair is strawberry blonde you might have to bleach it to get a brighter or lighter color and if you don't want the color to turn out looking differently than its supposed to.
  • Question
    I have dark brown eyes and a light olive yellow undertone skin tone. What color should I choose to complement my skin (unnatural and natural)?
    Community Answer
    For a natural color you might want to try a lighter blonde or strawberry blonde. Or, if you want a darker color, a shade darker than dirty blonde. And for the unnatural color, try charcoal grey for a darker color and pastel purple for a lighter color.
  • Question
    How do I know what vibrant color to dye my hair if I have fair skin, brown hair, and brown eyes?
    Community Answer
    I suggest a lighter color that would make your eyes pop such as pastel blue or pink but since you have fair skin that might not be such a good idea, so you might want to try a darker/more vibrant color, such as red or electric blue.
