hair dye question, is this right?

Question

Yesterday my friend (who was a hair dresser professionally until she had a baby) dyed my hair, Garnier, black cherry, now the thing is she put it on the roots first then ran it through the rest of my hair. It might just be me, but now it looks to me as though the roots really sucked up the red part and the middle to bottom half of my hair isn't as obviously red as my roots. It's not really bad looking you can still see the color through the rest of my hair and she said it will blend together after I wash it a few times. Did she f*** up or is this true? any words of wisdom? it's liveable I was just wondering.

I forgot to add, I bought the box of dye myself and asked her to do it for me. She has pro products I just liked the color I picked.

Sorry I didn't add my natural hair color is medium brown with red undertones

Answer 1

She applied correctly... HOWEVER.. she should be using a pro product. Especially with reds. whenever I do any reds... I always add a higher concentration of reds for when I pull my color through. This is because you don't want a client to have "hot roots" (what you have) The hair at the root is the healthiest and never colored, and so picks up tones the best with the heat of your head further accelerating the process.... therefore, I usually only add to my formula when using reds.... With a store bought product, you don't have the ability to personalize this way. So... yes... she applied correct... no... she didnt have any other options with store purchased.... BUT.... if she is licensed... she should go to a supply store and purchase pro products, so this does not happen. Hope this helps!! Good luck

Answer 2

They reason your roots grabbed the color more is because it is virgin hair and the ends of your hair have probably been colored before. Virgin hair, hair that has never been colored, grabs color better than damaged or previously colored hair. Yes she did apply it right, and the color will fade quickly, especially red. So bear with it, it is only a color, you could cover it up, but I would just let it fade out. Next time, let your friend use the professional products.

Answer 3

She may be right that it will blend. But you didn't say what color you were to start. I am a red head naturally and if I use ANY type of red dye on my hair it jumps on it and hold on for dear life!!!!! I tried a Medium Auburn a few years ago and it turned my hair so Dark Red it was Black with a burgundy hint to it. Try to lighten it up, or just re-do it altogether!!

Answer 4

Semi permament colorings are sturdy to apply like loopy coloration and instructions, this manner of dye isn't unfavorable you may placed it on as much as you choose. It would not contrain any peroxid. If ur hair is allready broken i might sugest making use of a conditionin therapy, at the same time with nioxen this might restoration ur hair.

Answer 6

sounds to me that you got "hot roots". Not trying to be mean but that is what happens when you use box color. The results are extremely unpredictable.

Answer 7

Yes, she did it correctly, and your hair color will balance out.

Answer 8
