You will have to lighten the hair you want to dye. The colors you will be adding are semi-permanent, so won't stay for ever, blue particularly fades to a green, relatively quickly, 3-4 weeks, depending on the product you use.

If you don't bleach your hair, which strips the color out, you will not end up with a good result.

My hair this week, is a faded pink. I have naturally brown hair. I usually re-dye my hair every 3 weeks, as I get bored with the same colors. I always strip the color back with bleach, to get the vivid colors to show well.

Take care, take your time and have everything ready before you start.

You can bleach streaks in your hair, then add the color into it.

Have a friend help you, my friends and I do each others hair, and we are more satisfied than if we would have gone to the salon, we know what we want exactly.

If you bleach your hair, dont leave it in too long O_O

You have to bleach out your current color. You can get a bleach kit from a beauty supply shop and just follow the directions. You can add the color in the same day.

Ok when I put the red and purple streaks in my hair they had to do the same thing.You probly want to go somewhere to get it done becouse if you want to put colors like that in there its really easy to mess up.You have to bleach the streaks blond..its not dyeing, its taking the color out of your hair.Then you wait about 20min then you wash that out then you put the actuall hair dye in your hair.See my hair is dark brown and it VERY thick.If you do put colors like red and blue in your hair it wont stay in there that long...I know my hair,for the first 2weeks the color stayed in there then in started comming out alittle at a time.But yes I did go somewhere to get it done.I used to get my aunt to dye my hair but she ALWAYS fkked up on it.So for best results you would probly want to go and set up an appointment.

Well if you are hair dyeing don't get bleach. Just do it without bleach. it'll look better. the color Pomegrante is a good color instead of red. its like reddish purpleish and maroonish. so i hope this helps.
