I want to put blue streaks in my very dark brown hair. What's the best way to go about doing it?

Question

Do I have to bleach or lighten it? I don't care how long it lasts or how dark it is, as long as you can still tell it's blue. Is there anything I can do myself?

Answer 1

I would bleach out the streaks as light as you can get them. You definately want to let it ge lighter than orange. Then put the blue color over the lightened pieces. This is good because the blue will be very vibrant, yet since blue isnt a natural hair color it will fade fast no matter what you do and it may fade greenish. But you could just keep some extra blue and do it once a week for a while and it will stay more.

Answer 2

I would think that you'd have to bleach it to a neutral color first and then die it - otherwise the blue is compromised by the dark brown.

You'd have to obtain the peroxide and bleach, and the dye. Depends on the laws of your state. In MA some of those items are not available unless you hold a beautician's license .

My friend has balck hair and she has put green streaks in it herslef the way she did thid was to go to the hairdresses and got them to put blonde streaks in her hair and then she bought a tub of green dye (this she got of ebay its especially for hair) which she put in it. this last up to a month before she has to do it again. i recommened it because it looks good.
