Mixing Professional Haircolor?

Tricia

To achieve undertones do I mix 2 haircolors together with the developer? Eg. Dark brown or black with a reddish shade. I have dark brown hair with some gray- would I use a 10 or 20 developer?


Thanks!

Answer
Call the 1-800# found on the box of dye or email them, (to find #, go online & search the brand if you don't have the box) they're the hair color experts they can advice you best. Style meets chemistry meets biology: We're talking hair coloring.

Playing with chemicals is not like playing with clothes, or doing a manicure, there are penalties for playing chemicals in the lab. Even hair color experts at the salon are not rocket scientists, they do a bang up dye jobs to their clients or their own hair.

Chemicals can enter the body through the skin.

London, Feb 20, 2013 I've been saying that since 2009.
Hair dyes, which include home hair colouring kits and those used at pricey salons, are linked to deadly cancer-causing chemicals, warn scientists. In 2009 the Mail revealed that women who used hair dyes more than nine times a year had a 60% greater risk of contracting blood cancer.
A year later the European Commission banned 22 hair dyes which put long-term users at risk of bladder cancer. < < < <â¨

The allergic reaction was caused by a well-known brand of semi-permanent hair dye Chloe used to turn her hair black for a Halloweâen party. . . . . called for beauty bosses to ban hair dye chemical PPD (para-phenylenediamine) from the shelves. 11-04-11

The chemical is not new and is present in a number of brands of dark hair colours, acting to help adhere the dye to the hair so that it doesn't wash out. Itâs made from coal tar and is used in both permanent and semi-permanent hair colours. Itâs well-known to be a cause of serious allergic reactions -- including something called contact dermatitis which can lead to rashes, blisters, and open sores.
PPD is sometimes added to black henna tattoos and that using them is not safe. Allergic reactions usually begin within two to 10 days following application. One bad reaction can lead to sensitivities to other products such as hair dye, sunblock and some types of clothing dyes. Oftentimes, it's using the product a second or third time.

Can I get salon quality results from bottled hair dye?

best haircolor brand for gray hair image

~ Jamie ~

I have been considering doing my own haircolor but am really nervous. It would save me $1500 a year. My hair is a medium/dark brown. However, it looks best much lighter. My base is a dark golden blonde with light golden blonde highlites. To my knowledge, I can't lighten hair with a drugstore brand, can I? How would I choose the best color? What is the best brand? I am in my late twenties with no gray. What are the steps to coloring my own hair and how would I do the roots? I really need some help. I have no clue what I am doing. It has been almost 10 years since I have colored my hair with a drug store brand. Has the dye changed since then? In other words, will I get highlites from it also or do I have to do that seperately? I am so confused!

Answer
salons are so expensive and doing your hair is really easy! it will save you so much money!

*for one to get the light blonde streaks u need to go to sallys beauty supply and get the clariol bleaching kit..its the only thing that will lift so its reeally blonde..ask the employee for everything you will need.
*for the base color..id try a reeally light loking blonde at the store..you want to go a little lighter then what you want becuz remeber it doesnt turn out the exact color on the box.

now to do your hair
*the base color is easy..you basically cover your hole head as if you wer shanpooing it..makin sure u get behind your ears and the very back.
*the streaks are a little harder on your own..but i hav donw mine long enought to know tho//
after you wash the base color out and hav ur hair dried ..clip the top half of your hair up and pick the streaks one by one and put the color on them ( i would ask a friend to help to get the back of your head)..make sure you space them out..and remeber it may notl look like alot but once to wash them out its much more streaks then u thought!
good luck!

Is there an at home black hair die that won't wash out?

Q. I want to die my hair black and last time the die just washed out. Is there a way to prevent it or a brand that won't do it?

Answer
If you're dying over a light color, you can expect some fading. It usually takes a couple times of re-dying your hair before it stops fading.

I'm partial to Loreal. I've had the black hair before, and I really liked their colors.

Just be patient, once it starts to fade, you can redye it. Also, you can expect some bleeding of your haircolor. It happens with any color you do.

To help keep your color, here's some tips:
- dye dirty hair (don't wash your hair in the AM and dye it in the evening...just wait a day after washing before you dye it)
- don't rub it with a towel after your shower - wrap it up in a 'turban' and let it dry, rubbing it just pulls the color out
- if possible try not to take super hot, super long showers
- after you dye your hair, rinse and condition in cold water, then try to go a day or two without washing your hair - it helps set the dye
- try not to blow dry it daily, especially with the black hair, it makes it grey quicker
- avoid sitting in the sun. This is why dark hair is a pain in the summer if you're naturally blonde
- avoid washing your hair daily
- get shampoo and conditioner designed for dyed hair
- if possible, shampoo every other time and use conditioner every time

Can you combine two different name brand hair colors?

Like Ion permanent haircolor 5RV with One 'n Only 6N. I'm trying to achieve a plum color and cover my gray, but I don't want it to be too dark. I'll be using 20 volume developer.

Answer
And you're trying to achieve what? It doesn't work that way!

One box, is enough strength for one head. HEAT & CHEMICALS are hair's worst enemies. Double the strength, by combining two boxes, double the chemicals going in your skin.

A WOMAN was temporarily blinded when her face swelled up "like a football" following what she told was a severe reaction to hair dye.
Carmen Rowe, 25, from Swansea was hospitalised for three days after using the Clairol 'Nice n' Easy' natural black colour. She said: "I lost my job, all for the sake of a glamorous hairstyle. I just want to warn parents what could happen." She claimed she carried out a skin test 48 hours before using the dye without a problem and has been colouring her hair since she was 13. March 3, 2012.

How can I keep my hair color longer?

cosmos

I have medium brown reddish hair and I am very gray at the roots and around the front hairline. I color my roots every three weeks because it just does not last. Now it seems my haircolor doesn't even last a week before the grays start showing. I don't shampoo everyday. I have very dry hair so I can go about 3 days without shampooing. I use Nice and Easy and this last time I tried Feria and still the same problem. Does anyone have any advice?

Answer
If I was you this is what I would do

I would go to my hair dressers that I go to, to get like cuts etc and ask her why this is happening...they are usually very knowledgable

You might be using the wrong products like maybe try for example a different hair colouring brand

Or they might suggest getting them to dye it as they have far more knowledge about colours

And also ask them is there or do they have a shampoo and conditioner from red/brown heads that makes the colour last longer...I know they have them for blondes and I have seen them for brunettes and red heads etc but not sure of the brand so just ask

What is the best haircolor brand for gray coverage?

best haircolor brand for gray hair image

Diane

I have dark brown hair with alot of gray through it, but the stuff I use from the store doesn't cover all my gray and I even leave it on the longest time suggested in the directions. 10Points!!!!

Answer
Box colors are all about the same and give the same result. You may have to change and use professional colors. These are just as easy to use as box colors. If you use one bottle of color that would be 2 oz. mix in with 2 oz of 20 volume developer, you will have 4 oz of color. Apply the same way. If you need 2 bottles of color then use 4 oz of developer giving you 8 oz of color. There are some beauty supply stores that will sell to the public.

Can you recommend good hair dye brand for long term use that doesn't cause allergies or cancer?

Nookie

My mom dyes her grey hair every 2 months, she ends up with redness all over her neck and any spot that comes in contact with her hair dye. Are there any safe hair dye products out there?

Answer
your mother is allergic to hair dye. Usually, this does not happen. Most hair color is safe to use, but to be sure, you should perform a spot test behind your ear. By this, I mean take a small sample of the hair color on a cotton ball and apply behind your ear. If you dont have an allergy to it, you should be fine to use the product. If your having it done at a salon, you can go in for a spot test. They wont mind. You could very well be senitive to the color since your mom is, so i reccomend it. As for cancer, it has NOT EVER been proven to cause cancer, unless you drink 40 bottles a day for a year. That is the only way a researcher has ever proved that haircolor causes cancer. Good luck with your color!!
