Do you colour your hair?

[Orangeeyecrayon]

i have abeen almost every color under the sun, natural and un-natural (except black)

however i no longer dye my hair or any color treatments. it took me a long time to like my hair color, so now that i have it back i dont plan on dyeing it till i start to go grey, or if it gets dull and gross

Yup I sure do, religiously every 4-6 weeks. I'm blondie at the moment, I'm in the platinum colour range, so it needs to be done quite reguarly. Apart from blonde, I'ver been a red head, light browns, medium browns, dark browns, I've even done black!

This is my current colour, I took this the day I had it done, it looks quite a bit blonder because of the lighting, but that's the blonde I have, and this is a photo taking from the other day as you can see, a wee bit of regrowth there! (Ignore my blocked out face, I was having such an ugly day lol)

I love being blonde, but sometimes I am tempted to go dark again, either a chocolate brown, or somehing similar to this colour I had awhile ago.

I have to say Bec I really love the color of your hair on the last photo. It's my favorite for you

 

[purpleRain]

Bec, I think all colors of hair are pretty on you, you have a color skin that looks good with any color. I love the dark btw.

Does anyone know how it is when you use a washable dark coloring on blond hair?

I've gotten natural highlights a few times..and they've grown out nicely each time. I do them just for fun and because I think they look great. I am hesitant to do any other type of coloring though, because I would hate to have to go into the salon every 6 weeks to get roots taken care of. Natural highlights are definitely the way to go!

I never dye my hair. I love the natural color thats coming out... it's sort of light brown and dark blonde... and dark brown inside... it's all mixed.

I did blonde highlights 3 years ago and I hated it. Theres still a little bit of it left on the very tips of my hair... it's finally almost all grown out... I'm so glad.

I dyed the inside of it bright red a few times a couple years ago too. I really liked it but it was just a wash out colour and it was a pain in the @$$ to do at home so I'm not really dying to do it again.

So as far as I know I do not want to lose my natural color and I steer clear of hair dye. My hair is naturally very curly as well... so it's hard enough to keep it healthy and glowing without adding any extra chemicals and damage etc.

 

[ROSESAPPHIREx]

I color my hair every two to three months, depending on how fast it fades. I'm currently a honey blonde with highlights, but I've been different shades of black, red, and brown.

I used to dye my hair all the time. Usually unnatural colors-- my first dye job was blue, when I was fourteen. But I had to stop because I was doing some serious damage to my hair because of all the bleach. I kind of miss it, though...I got a lot of complements on my hair.

Here's a couple of pictures:



First dye job at 14.



I was 16 in this picture, I think. I intentionally left some of my natural color in this one, I dunno, I was trying to mimic a tree or something lol.



17, please excuse my awkward growing out phase, lol. Despite the weirdness of my haircut this was actually one of my favorite colors...I managed to get a lot of different shades of pink in my hair so it looked like highlights instead of a flat pink.

I've also had purple, orange, yellow, black, fire-engine red, a sort of wine-colored burgundy, and light blue. The light blue didn't turn out so great though, even bleach didn't lighten my hair up enough to take that color well.

i get mine done from a stylist about every 3-6 months.

I've been dying my hair for about 15 years. I've stuck to the brown shades.. anywhere from brownish-plum, brown-red, dark brown, golden brown. My natural color is medium to dark brown.

The main reason I dye my hair now is the dreaded greys popping up here and there. Every 7 weeks my roots are touched up at the salon. My hair now is close to my natural color.

 

[Chaeli]

Yes. My natural hair was very light blonde but my skin tones are so dark it just looked ridiculous. I started dying it dark brown when I moved out here in southern cali. I fit in much better this way.

 

[heartofdarkness]

Been doing mine for 10 years now. Mainly blacks, purples and reds, but have also had pale pink, turquoise and peroxide blonde.

It's a sort of dark purplish brown at the moment, it was meant to go reddish purple but hasn't gone right for some reason. So next time I'll be going for vibrant red instead, but because my hair's very short, and I'm trying to grow it long again, I won't be cutting the purple out for some time...but hey, maybe dark purple hair with vibrant red roots will look cool

At the moment, I'm doing my roots every 4 weeks, but when my hair was long I was only doing it every 2 or 3 months...it might end up that way again once it's grown longer; given that I cut it all off because of damage, I want to try and be more careful in future

I've been getting my color colored...highlighted...'sun-ined' since I was 7! Maybe that is why I already spotted around 4 gray hairs over the years...I'm 19 by the way! My natural color is a grayish medium to dark ash brown, very very ashy! My skin tone is very very light so I love to color my hair lighter colors. About a year ago I've colored over my blonde highlights a dark brown color and I've impatiently waited over a year for the entire color to grow out so I can lighten my hair to a blonde color

I've never been a complete blonde before, but I've been dying to try.

 

[Smokey Eye]

I've had my hair dyed at the salon for about the last 12 yrs, but these days, I NEED to dye due to gray hairs at the hairline. I only go to the salon every 3-4 mos, but my gray hair appears a lot sooner than that, but I don't like spending $100 & spend 4-5 hrs in the salon every 4-6 wks. So I need to find a good ammonia free haircolor that I can do at home.

Any suggestions?

 

[ZsaZsa]

Yes I dye my hair alot. I have had Blonde, red, brown, black. My natural hair color is dark brown almost black but in the sun it would look a dark red. I just dyed my hair like a brown black, I miss having my natural hair.

 

[disflylatina]

I used to color my hair. But after the color starts to fade it looks really bad. I hate the roots, blonde is not my thing and Lighter brown is just so.. ehh..

I've grown to LOVE My dark brown hair. I love it, it's wonderful, it looks good and I don't want to change it to anything else.

If only we would be happy with what we have, but then hair stylist would be out of jobs! so nevermind!!!

 

[dixiewolf]

I was born with platinum blonde hair, it turned darker as I got older. In college I dyed it myself b/c I didnt want it brown. It looked fine for a few years, then it turned brassy. Now I leave it brown but get blonde highlights, the subtle kind not the chunky kind. I am 32 but I am turning really gray, have been for years but now it is getting bad, I am going to dye it light brown I think, I am so pale that dark brown would look awful.(My hair has turned dark brown (not the gray parts, lol) and it looks bad.

 

[talyorross]

My hair is dark brown/ashy black? I've never dyed it, I think about it sometimes and then I change my mind.

 

[jess!:)]

I've never dyed it.

Its a really good brown with natural blonde through it,

people pay to get there hair like mine, so i dont want to change it.

I just HATE getting asked if i dye my hair, because i don't,

and people don't believe me.

 

[AudreyNola]

I highlighted my hair for several years in high school and college and once in college I dyed it all brown. I get my red hair from my grandmother and she was very disappointed so I made peace with my loud orange hair and have left it alone since then.
