My hair is naturally brown but i have colored it every shade of red/Burgundy for years..............?

Question

My stylist stripped the copper red out about 8 months ago and now it is a wine/burgandy color. I have a very dramatic asemetrical bob, back is very short and it angles down long. I want to go back to a more vibrant red. My hair is healthy and i want to use as little peroxide/bleach i can, Do i need to strip it like she did? she also filled and sealed it-what is that?and do i need to do it?

I also plan on putting temporary streaks in it when i do this. I think very tiny black ones would look good as blonde is so damaging. someone help! product recomedation is WELCOME too! Thanks

Answer 1

I say go for the tiny black ones due to the fact that it would not be so damaging to your hair.
Bleaching is going to completely damage you hair, maybe not right now, but in the future. I am speaking from experience.

I myself, is going through a hair crisis, too. I am planning to just grow my hair out to its natural hair color. I've been bleaching my hair for years. As of right now, I regret it.

Instead of dying your hair, try semi-coating or demi-coating instead.
It is a lot healthier for your hair, and it adds shine to it.

Good luck!

You do not need to fill it; your hair should hold red just fine. What you need to know is that of all the colors you could dye your hair, red shades will fade the fastest. You definitely need to use a shampoo for color treated hair to prevent fading. To go a step further, use a shampoo and conditioner especially for red hair. Redken makes a very good one.

Regarding the streaks, if you want black, get black; though blonde streaks are easy to condition -- just use a protein pack (aka reconstructor) once a week and your hair will be fine. You should actually use a weekly reconstructor anyway to feed your hair; it will look very shiny and vibrant. What brand you ask -- there are so many good ones that you don't need to tremble over having a particular one. On the reconstructor label of ingredients, look for either 'hydrolysed protein' or 'keratin'.

My best advice is to go back to your stylist and let her do your coloring and streaking. That way you will get the best results with minimal damage to your hair. She will be able to mix several colors together to get the exact shade of red that you want, something you won't be able to do with home color from a box.

Sealing is a protective covering over your color so it lasts longer and doesn't fade out so quickly.

But if you don't want to spend the $$$ at the salon, I would recommend Revlon. I use it, and the colors are great! I have natural Auburn hair w/ some gray and I love the way Revlon covers gray and I love the colors they offer. Good luck!

sure hair, organic hair, differences over long classes of time as one a while. that's why you notice gingers hair ending up blonde while they are 20, Blonde turning mousy brown, Brown turning gentle black, and so on. Even like my eyes, they have been consistently blue up until 3-2 years in the past green all started exhibiting by using and walah, 3 years later I even have predominately green eyes. Puberty rather impacts the"exhibiting up" of genetics. yet each fall,, that sounds extraordinary each fall it turns auburn. possibly your hair's organic reddish tones happen comparedto the purple crispy leaves.
