Do hair dyes that wash out with 8 shampoos work well?

Question

I saw a add in a magazine with one of these hair dying thingies that was out 8 to 10 shampoos later. I kinda want to dye my hair a dark brown(right now I am a natural blonde) just to see how my hair would look as a brunette. Since a lot of blonde celebrities are dying their hair dark brown and it look great. However I have heard horror stories of people's hair turning purple and orange when they actually wanted brown. Have you ever tried this kind of product? Does i work well? Which product is the best? And after like the fourth shampoo does the hair look spotted? Also any other comemtary about these kinds of products. thanks

Answer 1

They work pretty, talkin from expierence. the first time i did it, it worked perfectly, but the 2nd time i had blonde highlights before, and i was dying my hair black, soo my highlights turned blue for a couple of months. Yeah but basically your colour just gets lighter, not spotted, and i used loreal colourfit, and umm.....herbal essences mousse(or something like that)

Hope this helps (good luck with your new colour)

P.S if u want to dye your hair badly enough just go 4 it, ur not harming your hair. Sometimes a few weird side-efects but nothing perminent.

i wouldn't take my chances on a store bought hair die . when it says it washes out in 8 to 10 washes it really doesn't. every one has different hair types and different dies take to some hair types better then others. and no your not going to get the results you actually wanted. I've died my hair several times out of a box and was disappointed every time not only was it the wrong color but it fryed my hair so bad. leave it to the professionals that's what there trained for. if you don't like the results they can always change it back and leave your hair healthy and shiny looking . good luck

Answer 3

No they hardly work at all. i was blond and dyed my hair dark (used "natural black" from loreal i think) and I LOVE IT...but thats just me. and i knew what i wanted. I wouldnt mess around with 8-10 shampoos. maybe try the one shampoo, but blond is an odd color to try to change with nonpermanent dyes.

Yeah they work pretty well, they are just not meant to last and fade kinds quickly, especially red, but then red fades the fastest of any color. I like Clairol Natural Instincts, and also those colored shampoos and conditioners work well too if you just want to brighten your color.
