Preparing to dye hair

[beautymadn3ss]

I have never dyed my hair. I'm getting ombre hair this weekend(if you think it's tacky,  or too late...or w.e opinion you have about I don't care, you can keep it to yourself ^^). So I'm wondering if I should do anything before hand, like a really moisturizing masque or something, to prevent damage /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> If anyone has tips to prevent hair from getting damaged when dyed, please let me know /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Are you going to a salon? They'll shampoo and do all that for you. At home, I usually deeep condition and use a clarifying shampoo a day before and don't use any products. Then I dye the next day. Good luck! Regardless of current trends, people should rock what they like! Also, try an ammonia free dye, which there's lots of options. Less damaging on your hair. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

The same lady has cut my hair my whole life and that's all I ever get /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Will definitely post them, I'm so excited /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> I wanted to get it since I got back to NY, but I just kept on postponing it.

As promised /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> I'm super happy with it, if you know how Khloe Kardashian's ombre looks like, that's kinda how mine does, but not coppery at all! The last picture looks coppery, but it's not, the colors are off on my cam.

Lovely! I like it and you've got a lot of length!

Thank you /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> and yeah that was after my hair cut too! She cut a bunch! It was way longer, but I really like this /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

XD awww thank you so much!!! /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> yay! I'm so happy, I keep looking at my hair lol XD It's the first thing I've ever done to my hair, except for cutting it ofc XD (excluding when I was 11 and dropped hair dye on it and ended up looking like a squirrel for the longest time...though I don't think that counts XD)

I love it! It totally matches you and looks super cute.

 

[beautymadn3ss]

Thank you ^^ . Now ladies that dye your hair, what advice can you give me to keep the color?

You look lovely!  I recently dyed my hair with ombre blonde ends too, but it's not as shiny and healthy as yours.  :<

I use L'Oreal Natures Therapy Mega Moisture Nurturing Creme couple times a week after I died my hair, and it really helps a lot.

Thank you /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> I really take care of it like a lot XD

So basically you moisturize? cuz I always apply oil and let it sit for 2 days and also I use cleansing conditioner so it's moisturized for sure XD
