    I'm planning on having my hair dyed a light brown for my birthday and have never done it before. Do I need to do a patch test first?
    Community Answer
    It's always good to test before; otherwise, you could have a bad reaction that you weren't aware of before testing.

  • Question
    What will happen if I have black hair and spray lemon in my hair?
    Community Answer
    It will gradually become lighter, usually a dark chocolate brown color. Leave it on for around 15-20 minutes and, if you're happy with the color, rinse it off. Otherwise, leave it in longer. Lemons can often make your hair really dry, so make sure you condition your hair afterward.

    Not at all! Henna is great for your hair. It is a natural, herbal conditioner, and it promotes growth.

  • Question
    Do I need to bleach my hair before dying it?
    Valerie Zoey
    Community Answer
    You're probably going to have to bleach your hair. Most unnatural colors are semi-permanent, which means they will not lift the color of your hair any lighter than it currently is. It's only depositing color. So if you try to put purple semi-permanent dye over your dark brown hair, it will not work.
