I have a question for hair dying. anyone?

i want to get strips of bleach blonde highlights but my hair has shades of orange in it so before getting highlights i want to dye my hair like medium brown first because i dont think orange hair and highlights look good together. the problem is i heard if u dye your hair a dark color the highlights will come out orange. what do you think?

Sister Girl!!!!! I'm a hairdresser for the past 9 years. Here is my best advise to give u. Talk to a professional b-4 u do ANYTHING yourself at home!!! Most places will offer free consultations and no REAL professional can give good advise without seeing what we're working with. Ask how much it would cost and what kind of upkeep it would entail. I can HONESTLY tell u that it will probably be cheaper in the long run 2 have it done the RIGHT way. People don't realize that doing hair is such an art and can be very complicated. If you don't want 2 spend alot of $, try finding a beauty school near u. It's always really cheap going that route and they will know more than u do. They also will have the right tools necessary 2 fix it if u don't like how it turns out. Good luck and I hope u take my advise- u can't regret at "least" checking into it- Bye Hon!

It depends on how dark you make it and how long you keep the bleach in. If you need to wait, wait, because if you push your hair past the point of fixing you will regret it.

strip it first then dye and bleach or whatever but ONLY STRIP IT FIRST IF your hair is @ least pretty healthy now otherwise it could become brittle or fall out...eeek. trust me personal experience!!

If you go to a professional salon.. most of the girls should have their journeyman's. This means they will be able to do color corrections and fix the orange hair to make it the light brown color you want, as well as add the blond highlights. It shouldn't be too hard!! I don't exactly know what kind of orange your hair is, and I don't know what last color product brand you used but I Highly recommend that you tell your hair stylist because she'll need to know. It will affect the final product of your desired hair color! Box dyes are Really bad for your hair and they often react with professional product.. try to stay away from them! :S Good luck!

You could try doing the highlights first and put in a good amount of contrast, then put on the brown shade you want, which will tone down the highlights a bit, and all your hair will have the same shade of brown plus the highlights. But do be careful with several coloring jobs at once because it is hard on your hair and the highlights especially will be susceptible to damage.

there is a product at sally's called red out. the red is causing your hair to be orange like a mix of red and blond red+yellow= orange. you can also use a dye with a blue base which will counteract the reds

it is true tint won't lift tint. you may need to double bleach or strip all the color and add color which may cause all of your hair to fall out. i do not recommend that at all.

personally i think dying my hair will ruin it to try lemon juice, though i don't know if it will work with out any sun so right now might not be the best time to do that..... i just like natural colors in hair...

Use Clairol medium brown hair color and then wait a week and then do the paint on frostkitnad only let the frosting sit on your hair for 20 minutes it will turn out fine. I've been doing it for about 5 years.

Trust me! Get it done professionally! Don't have the hair stripped because it is very damaging to your hair! Spend the major bucks if you want highlights in your hair in order to have the natural effect. If you do the highlights on your own, they will look like a child drew them in with a yellow magic marker. Yikes!

I've seen it done before, and in that case- it did not do that, but i'm not sure if it depends on your hair type or something like that though...

I think you should go to a salon and get it done professionally but make sure you ask around first some salons don't know what their doing and they might do more damage then good. you might have to pay a little extra but it's worth it:)

First advice, go to a salon and get it professionally done, they know what they are doing.

If the highlights turn out orange there is a blue shampoo that can take the orange right out.
