Dying hair from a faded black to a dark brown!?

I posted a similar thread but I wanted to dye my hair to a dirty blonde. After reading so much about ruining my hair I've decided that I want to try to go back to a medium-dark brown color, which is my natural color.



I have very thick hair. It's very healthy, as well. I dyed it black about 5 months ago, and now my roots are grown in about 3 inches. The black has faded a bit, and when I hold up my hair outside it seems like I can see more brown than black, but starring in the mirror I just see a faded black with brown roots.



What can I do to get a dark brown or medium brown on the go? With having to visit a salon. Blonde sounds way too hard, but surely brown isn't as hard.



Thank you.



Dying hair from a faded black to a dark brown!?

Hm well I posted on your last question.



K. Black is hard to get out. No matter what. Period.



You need to go to a salon, even if only for the first time, then use box dye after you've gotten the colour you want and you're just touching up your roots.



I am in the process of going blonde, and I had jet black dyed hair. To go dark brown, you still need to put stripper in, and then the dark brown hair dye. Stripper isn't as damaging as bleach. You can't put brown dye over black..because that just wouldnt work, black is too dark...you still need to bleach it.



If you do it at home, you need to bleach the crap out of your whole head...may turn orange...and then dye it dark brown. Don't advise you do this it's very harsh on hair.



I got brown hair (with highlights to make it lighter brown) on the first visit.



What I reccomend you do is go to the salon once, get your dark brown...and from there you can use box dye afterwards when you need to do root touch ups, add some high lights, etc.



Dying hair from a faded black to a dark brown!?

This is still not something that you should be attempting. Here again is why: You have massive regrowth and dark ends. The dark ends must be lightened out and regrowth then matched to that. You are going to encounter a lot of red along the way. You will have to adjust for that. This is tricky work and you should go to a color correction specialist. I fore see "hot" roots in your future with brassy ends if you continue down this path. Best of luck.

Why do women joke on other women who wear wigs, but yet they wear extensions and braids in their hai

That always puzzled me; you can joke on a woman who puts on a wig, but yet women get braids, weaves and extensions added to their hair all of the time and not joked on and ridiculed by the public. It's still fake hair. Personally, at least with a wig you still have hair on your head when you take it off and it's not coming out. Weave takes your hair out and all of that glue in your head is pulling your natural hair out; so us black women need to stop putting each other down; either way it goes, you still have fake hair on your head whether it's sown in, glued in, braided in or just simply put on. At least with a wig you don't have to worry about your real hair coming out. Your hair is still healthy and growing. Any comments?



Why do women joke on other women who wear wigs, but yet they wear extensions and braids in their hair?

I don't know why they do that. My mom use to wear wigs when we lived in Wisconsin. She didn't want to have to style her own hair. Also she use to say it was like wearing a cap, it kept her head warm in the cold weather. She always looked nice, it made it easier for her to get ready for work. So, why rip on any one who wants to wear a wig, so what. I think women are just caddy and like things to talk about so maybe wigs are the target!



After my mom moved to Calif. she did eventually stop wearing wigs, guess it was the warmer weather that made her change it up . She let me give her a perm and she started wearing her own hair and like it much better. I miss her, she passed away Thanksgiving of 2004.

no



Why do women joke on other women who wear wigs, but yet they wear extensions and braids in their hair?

Wigs are mostly for those people who have little to no hair. Thats why people where them. With hair weave you need to have hair first off. Weave when applied right can have that natural look.



Why they joke on each other.. a guy may never know.



Why do women joke on other women who wear wigs, but yet they wear extensions and braids in their hair?

Why address the reasons for ignorant behavior?



Why do women joke on other women who wear wigs, but yet they wear extensions and braids in their hair?

whoever would make fun of someone who wears a wig is a troll! It just makes them feel better about themselves by cruely picking out little things about other people and making a big deal out of them.

Help with scrunching Hair!!?

Ok, so I really want my hair to be able to be scrunched... here we go. I have long, naturally curly, darkish-brown hair. I am abled to straighten and curl and un-frizz and everything except scrunch. I also have medium thick hair, its very healthy because I get a trim every two months, and it's really pretty. I just want to be able to scrunch... please help! %26lt;3



Help with scrunching Hair!!?

i use alberto v05 mousse or herbal essences. once you get out of the shower, flip your hair over, work the mousse throught your hair from the roots to the tips and after making sure all your strands are coated, use your hands and scrunch your hair. almost like grabbing a chunk and letting go, grabbing a chunk and letting go and so on. flip your hair over and then use your fingers to fluff up parts that look a little flat. make sure you scrunch your hair really good on the sides and in the back, otherwise you will just have stiff, straight hair instead of curly. make sure you let your hair air dry and don't touch it too much because then it will get frizzy.

THEN WASH IT LEAVE CONDITIONER IN FOR HALF HOUR AND RINSE IT OUT!!!!



WORKED 4 ME!!



閳?br>Omg plz help my hair!!!!!!!!?



get some deep conditioner and use it in the shower, their is no need to leave conditioner on your hair overnight or for days, use it daily, you may want to try some datangeling spray too, but if you get some good deep conditioner like panteene and use it every day for about 3-6 days your hair should be back to normal



Omg plz help my hair!!!!!!!!?

You shoudln't have left your conditioner in overnight for starters, its a cardinal rule of haircare. Go back to your usual routine, wash twice, condition once and make sure all of your conditioner is OUT before you get out of the shower. If your hair still feels slimy, then you haven't rinsed properly. For extra moisture, grab yourself some proper leave-in conditioner and use it at night after you've washed - and completely rinsed- your hair. Do not use the leave in stuff every night as it will make your hair oily. Apply to towel dried damp hair only on the ends, use only after washing and when your sure there is no conditioner left in your hair.



Omg plz help my hair!!!!!!!!?

u should perm your hair then flat iron it o.k!



Omg plz help my hair!!!!!!!!?

Never leave conditioner on your hair for a week. The best thing to after swimming in a chlorinated pool, is to come home %26amp; shampoo your hair with Pantene ProV that has conditoner in it. Then spray your hair with the Pantene spray in/leave in conditioner. Using a big toothed comb, comb the conditioner to the ends twice.

If your skin is a dry, and you are bothered by it, I suggest you try using Zenmed Sensitive Skin Care



System from Zenmed or Autopalm from Skinstore.com



Zenmend has no side effects and it's non-irritant to the



skin. It's proven to works fast and it povides Maximum



results! It's certainly a good lotion to prevent further



outbreaks.



Another product that I think is effective is Autopalm. This



dry skin mlm is one of the best seller at skinstore.com now.



(Skinstore.com holds more than 10,000 skin care products) It's pretty effective, and worth the dollar paid out.



You can order these over the internet.

You should go to the doctor this condition sounds serious!!



Or use more lotion and conditioner.And eat more fruits I mean its not your fault this is happening to you! So dont be afraid to show off your skin!



I am 18 yrs. old. my skin is very dry and hair is extremely rough. Please, Please, Please HELP!!!!!!?

First of all it sounds like this is a condition that you should be discussing with your Dr. since you may have an underlying problem that needs to be addressed. One thought is possible Thyroid issues but it could very well be something else causing it.



You also need to ddrink penty of fluids like water, you don't have to over-do it on the water though. Biolage shampoo and conditioner is a wonderful moisturizer for your hair and is sold in salons. Use a moisturizing body wash like Oil of Olay ribbons and plenty of moisturizer, I prefer the Johnson's moisturizer... smells wonderful and works great for me. As for the face you will need to experiment, I have very sensitive skin and am always having to change my moisturizers... there are also moisturizing foundations, you just have to read the labels. Best of luck to you.

You are missing something in your diet. Drink plenty of water, eat lots of vegetables, but mostly try to eat fish if you can. Salmon is the best, but might not be available in your area...Otherwise take supplements with Omega fatty acids, you can buy fish oil capsules or flaxseed oil capsules. Or you can use a coffee grinder to grind flaxseed to put in your food.

My hair is wavy and i usally let it air-dry.My hair is very healthy but I was wondering what is the healthier way.



Is it better to let your hair air-dry or blow dry it?

Hey there,



Air dry is alot better. Blow drying drys your hair out. I have a couple of hair tips if you want. Oh, sorry that it is long.



Recipes For Shiny Hair



To give your hair a great shine and help remove soap build up.



Blondes 閳?Add a couple of tablespoons of lemon juice to your rinse water.



Brunettes and Redheads 閳?Add a couple of tablespoons of apple cider vinegar to your rinse water.



Stir 1 teaspoon honey into 4 cups (1 quart) warm water. After shampooing, pour mixture through hair. Do not rinse out. Dry as normal.



Fruit Smoothie Hair Mask



Blend 1/2 a banana, 1/4 cantaloupe, 1/4 avocado, 1 tablespoon wheat germ oil and 1 tablespoon yogurt. For extra conditioning, squeeze in the contents of a vitamin E capsule. Leave in hair for 15 minutes.



Honey %26amp; Olive Oil Hair Mask



Mix 1/2 cup honey and 3 tablespoons olive oil. Work a small amount at a time through hair until coated. Cover hair with a shower cap; leave on 30 minutes. Shampoo well and rinse.

Mayonnaise is a great conditioner for dry hair. Depending on the length of your hair, apply approximately 1/2 cup of mayonnaise to your dry hair. Work into hair really well and then cover your hair with a plastic bag, allowing to set for about 15 minutes. Rinse thoroughly and then shampoo as usual.



In a blender or food processor, combine 2 1/2 tablespoons dried milk, 1 tablespoon wheat germ oil, and 1 egg. Apply evenly to hair and let set for at least an hour. Shampoo and style as usual.



Hair Setting Lotions



Try dissolving a teaspoon of gelatin in a cup of warm water and use this as a setting lotion before styling hair. You can use this as a liquid or chill it and use it as a gel.



Dissolve 1 teaspoon sugar in 1 cup warm water and apply to damp hair before styling.



Combine 4 tablespoons olive oil and 2 tablespoons honey in a glass jar with a lid and shake until well blended. Let mixture sit for 3 to 4 days, and shake it occasionally. Rub mixture evenly into dry hair and wrap hair in plastic wrap, letting set for at least an hour. Shampoo as usual.



Mix together 2 tablespoons vegetable oil and 1 egg. Apply to hair and let set for about an hour. Shampoo as usual.



To help a flaky scalp, warm 2 to 3 tablespoons vegetable oil in the microwave (make sure it閳ユ獨 not too hot!) and then gently apply to scalp with cotton balls. Let set for at least an hour and then shampoo as usual.
