dying red hair brown?

Question

my hair is like redish brownish. more red though. i really dont like it and want to dye it brown, not to dark but yeah. my mom wont let me though, she said that a have a "unique" hair color and dying it would ruin it and that it would be hard to keep up and all. i havnt really heard of people with red hair dying it brown though. i dont have dark red hair, or really red hair but yeah would the color take or whatever. also some people have told me it might turn out purple? what could i say to my mom to let me do it. and should i go to a professional or would like the box color work?

Answer 1

I would go see a professional. Especially with distinct colored hairs, it can get a little tricky and box color will turn out a lot differently. Dying your hair will "ruin" your hair for the time being. Your hair will be a little more dry and a little more 'straw-like' because of the chemicals but it will grow out the same as before so it's worth giving it a shot to see if you like it.

Answer 2

A professional salon that uses a semi-permanent colorgloss can achieve a balanced darker color on your hair that will not leave that horrible "root" line when your hair grows in. Using a box color will most likely result in hair that will fade "off tone" to an unflattering orangish color. You have seen this walking down the street, I am sure...Expect to need fresh colorglossing approximately every 8-10 weeks to keep your locks looking shiny and lush.

You have chances of having brown hair that's tinted red. Get a hair stripping kit - it will strip the red out, preparing your hair for basically any color. I used this going from red to blonde. Yes, your hair will be a funky color in between, but it's OK. The stripping kit says to not dye hair same day but I did and my hair turned out perfectly fine, I checked with a cosmetologist first. Go to Wal-Mart - they have the best prices for everything.

i would say that it would depend on how old you are. try telling your mom that you don't want to change it forever, but just for a little while. be reasonable and calm, and maybe she will come around. on the flip side, you can always have it done and deal with the consequences later. me personally, i would talk to my mom.

if you go ahead and do it, i would have it done professionally. They will make sure that your hair won't turn purple. If you use a box color make sure that you get one that has blond tints in it and not red. Have fun

Answer 5

My friend has red hair and she recently had it dyed a chestnut brown. But she went to a hairdresser. I think red hair is really hard to "take". I'd definitely go to a professional just in case ;)

Good luck!

Hahaha.

What's the point of dying your hair if it's red? A million people are bruntette in pretty much every city.
Keep your hair color.
