I can't afford to get my hair done at a salon and I need my roots touched up.?

Right now I have medium brown hair with honey highlights. Can I use an at home coloring kit to dye over this color or will the highlights show through? Also, I want to dye my hair an Auburn Brown color, will it turn out alot darker at the roots? My roots are now very dark brown (my natural hair color.)

I can't afford to get my hair done at a salon and I need my roots touched up.?

If you don't have the $$$$ you are going to have to forget about highlights for now. Just get yourself a do-it-yourself kit and make the whole thing Auburn Brown. You start trying to do highlights at home, you're not going to like the results.

dye your own hair

I can't afford to get my hair done at a salon and I need my roots touched up.?

get some advice from your hairdresser

I can't afford to get my hair done at a salon and I need my roots touched up.?

They have root touch-up kits available now. You can try to do that OR you can just color your entire head the Auburn Brown. Your hair will not be so much darker at the roots, as the hightlights will absorb the color since they are light. Just be very careful coloring at home with anything red (Auburn).....leave it in for 5-10 minutes less than the requested time or it will get VERY red!

L'Oreal has a kit that has both an all over dye and a highlight color together. I don't remember the name, but if you look in a drugstore or a Target etc, you will see it. I know it is in a reddish box.

Is this normal body hair?

I don't really know too much about my friend's ethnicity, but she has very light (white) skin and dark hair on her head. The other day she was wearing a tank top and she wanted to show me her new belly button piercing. When she lifted her shirt up, she had hair on her stomach. I don't just mean the happy trail between her belly button and pubic area. She also had the hair on her back and chest area. It's not thick or dark like the hair on our heads or under our arms and on our legs (I'm of course talking about people with dark thick hair, not you lucky people who grow fine, blonde hairs on your legs), but it is short and fine, but it has pigment to it. Definitely noticeable on her white skin. Is this normal. I've tried reading about it on the internet, but I can't really find anything about it. I don't think it's hirsutism because it's not long, coarse, really dark, curly...nothing like the hair you would find on a man. Anyway, my question is if this is normal or not.

Is this normal body hair?

What you're describing doesn't sound too out of the norm. Some women are just hairier than others. Since she seems happy with her body hair (if she's confident enough to show you her stomach), I'd say don't hassle her about it.

Is this normal body hair?

I think it has to do with her hormone levels. Too much testosterone Ithink...

Is this normal body hair?

Hair, hair everywhere. Yes it's normal, and a real pain too. Some people are lucky and don't have as much, or it's lighter, some of us aren't so lucky. Oh well, it's just a part of life.

I just dyed my hair auburn.... how come the color isn't showing?

My hair is naturally black. I just tried to dye it red/auburn, but it didn't work. It's my first time dying it. I did what the box told me, I put the paste stuff on my hair, I sat and waited for an hour... but my hair is still pure jet black. How come it never worked? Is it because this is my first time?

Oh and, the hair dye is non-permanent hair dye.

I just dyed my hair auburn.... how come the color isn't showing?

I believe if your hair is that dark, you need to bleach it before dying it.

I just dyed my hair auburn.... how come the color isn't showing?

black hair is nearly impossible to dye.... you are basically putting color on what you already have and if you put sumthing on black it wont show...

the only thing i would suggest is getting a color MUCH lighter than you want... that might be enough to take your hair a lil lighter and reddish

also the semi perminant does have soemthing to do with it...

you will definately need a perminant dye for anything to happen

you might need to go to a stylist for help if you are new to dying hair

I just dyed my hair auburn.... how come the color isn't showing?

u need a stronger peroxide

I just dyed my hair auburn.... how come the color isn't showing?

The colour wasn't strong eonough for your hair. You should get it professionally stripped ( don't just bleach it as your hair can and will fall out) and then put a colour over the top, otherwise you could try a permanent hair colour and leave it on longer than it says howver you have to wait at least a week or you willstress your hair and cause it to break

I just dyed my hair auburn.... how come the color isn't showing?

yeah, i tried that too, and i have jet black hair. and it didn't work very well. it sometimes shows in the sunlight, btu that's it.

the darker your hair, the more difficult it is to dye it with the least possible damage.

u will need to use permanent dye.

it's not because of it being the first time.

I just dyed my hair auburn.... how come the color isn't showing?

You have to bleach it first, I'm an Asian with blonde hair. I had to leave my peroxide on for about 60-90 minutes. Because, black is the darkest color, you WILL not be able to just dye it simply, it needs to be weakened to a lighter color. I recommend going to the hair salon and getting it proffesionally done especially if you have never seen anyone do it before.

I just dyed my hair auburn.... how come the color isn't showing?

I'm no expert, so please check this out first. I think because it is non permanent hair dye, it probably does not have any peroxide. Peroxide bleeds out your natural color from the hair and then the dye color redeposits where the natural color used to be. (That's what my friend, a hairdresser, told me years ago) Most, if not all, haircolors have a phone number you can call on the box or listed on the instructions. Call that number, they can tell you more.

I just dyed my hair auburn.... how come the color isn't showing?

Your hair probably is reddish, but you won't see it until you're in the sunlight or intense light.

Your hair is very dark, therefore it cannot grab the colour. Your base colour will be the black. What you will see is a red sheen or highlight to the hair.

I just dyed my hair auburn.... how come the color isn't showing?

Unfortunatly you will need to find a hair dying product that will work on dark hair, often red or auburn such as you used will not work on such dark hair as i have tried it before. Next time leave it in over time than the instructions say, it should help to keep it in. Also I doubt using a non-permanent dye would work either so try a permanent dye and if it doesnt work you can always dye it back. Try these sites-

I just dyed my hair auburn.... how come the color isn't showing?

it's hard to colour the jet black hair. Especially if you do it at home... and the colour that you used it non-permanent... it wont show anything to your hair.... unless you have light hair colour.

But you can try to colour it again with permanent colour, and follow the instruction....

tip: buy the bright auburn colour, so when you apply it to your black hair,it still show the colour... it wont be too bright...

Or, You better go to professional salon to colour your hair.

Because hair dresser know to achieve the colour that you want, and they have special trick to do it....

But don't bleach your hair, unless you want very2 bright colour.

Emma Roberts Hair?and other hair questions??

Is she a blonde or Brunette?(sorry if i spelt Brunette wrong)

She looks good in both. I like blonde best though.

Sometimes her roots show brown and I love her blonde hair and I'm a Brunette thinking of going blonde but idk if i would look good.

How can I tell (what features?)

Which do you like Emma Roberts hair(blonde or Brunette)????

Whats your fav style?

Emma Roberts Hair?and other hair questions??

I think she's a natural brunette, but I wouldn't know, since I don't keep up with celebrities hairstyles. I saw her in a magazine where her hair was dyed a certain brown (I forgot which), and it was pretty. I guess either color works for her.

I personally think that light skin tones look better with blonde hair. You should do it, but use a semi-permanent hair dye. That way if you don't like it, it will wash out eventually.

What to do about damaged blonde hair?

I was a light blonde as a kid, but as I got older, my hair turned a darker blonde, so I began lightening it. Currently, I feel like my hair got damaged from all the dying blonde. It's also a pain in the neck to have to watch out for the darker roots all the time. I would like to do something to repair my hair. Is it worth dying my hair to a light brown, so that the roots don't show that much and it gives my hair a chance to rejuvinate? If so, what shade would you recommend?

What to do about damaged blonde hair?

I hear ya!

It is unlikely that you will like your hair all one light brown color if your hair is dark blonde. It will not look healthier - but unnatural.

Try this instead.

It is very important to understand that natural blondes - as kids or adults - do not have one color of hair. 'Blonde' hair is a mixture of many shades, from about a 5 or 6 medium to light brown shade all the way to a 10 or extra light blonde, depending on the season. We think otherwise because of all the dye jobs in the media, and it is ruining our hair!

In summers, Nordic hair lightens, in winter it turns darker because there is less sun. North Americans who live in southern states and were born blonde should remember this to avoid overprocessing.

Here what I suggest. Apply deep conditioner every night at bedtime for a week. Do not rinse. Wear a towel to sleep. Rinse in the morning. Lightly shampoo 1/2 way through the week.

See a color specialist - use the same one for at least one year.

Do ONLY the roots:

Ask for three rows of foil highlights at the crown, wherever you part your hair. Use one color in an 8N shade.

Repeat after three months. This time, ask him/her to use 9N for the first row, and an 8N for the second and third rows.

After six months, get six rows of highlights. Use 9N for the first three and 8N for the bottom three. Repeat after three months.

After one year get a full head of highlights including low lights to blend your (by now) grown-out natural color. To avoid brassy or green hair, choose a 5 or 6N shade only for the low lights on the bottom 1/4 or 'base' of your head. Use the 8N on the next lower 1/4. Blend a 9N and a 10N on top 1/2.

Touch up after three months with three rows of highlights at the crown, wherever you part your hair in the 10N shade.

Touch up after six months with six rows of highlights at the crown with a blend of the 8N and 10N shades.

And so on ...

Do not try this at home as foil highlights are hard to do and need precision to look natural.

Do not use bleach and/or a streaking cap for at least a year and one half.

Keep conditioning the hair.

Apply a shine serum protector regularly.

Avoid straighteners for a while!

Get regular trims while your hair is growing out. With all the great pulled back styles, you can wear your hair back in a messy pony tail to hide the 'roots' while they grow out or in, in your case!

The lightest brown I could find, and condition with a deep conditioner a lot.

What to do about damaged blonde hair?

dye it to the closest shade..that way it can grow out and not have to be colored for a while.

after you dye it, go and get your ends trimmed, if you keep your ends trimmed your hair grows faster because its heathier.

also use a repairing shampoo after all is set and done..

What to do about damaged blonde hair?

i recommend a good trim on the ends and just deep condition u hair..pull on ur hair and does it snap back? if so it has elasticity..also pull a piece of hair on the top of the head and then hold the hair with one hand and slide down the hair on the strand..is it smooth or course? if you are smooth then ur hair is not very porous..though blond hair tends to be porous a light brown has orange in it so it would turn you orange and brassy...you needs something that has red yellow and violet..such as a light beige brown from Joico 6b find a salon that carrys Joico color

Don't even die your hair... it's not good for it. Go ask a hair stylist.

What to do about damaged blonde hair?

I would recommend buying damage remedy by aveda... It is a set of three products, a shampoo, conditioner, %26amp; treatment. I truely does help repair the hair. When you are having your hair lightened it is so important not to overlap the bleach on previous lightened hair... this is what causes most of the damage. If you are tired of maintaining your blond... maybe instead of going all light brown, add a lowlight that matches your natural color so you don't have to touch up as often. from experience, most of my blonde clients who go dark end up wanting to go back to blonde... which will cause even more damage. Plus... one solid light brown color is boring. You will probally get sick of it fast. DO NOT try to go back to brown by buying box color... You really have to know what you are doing... there are many steps that go into darkening lightened hair. You don't want to end up green. I think lowlights are your best bet. good luck!

What to do about damaged blonde hair?

Coloring your hair doesn't have to be so damaging. But all color must be maintained. Your choice of the entire head, one pale color is very difficult to keep up on. I would suggest you consult with a good colorist. If you were in my chair I would suggest retouching some your roots with highlighting, I would add a med blond slightly warm tone and also a dark blond tone also slightly warm. At this point I would not add in your natural- way too dark against the ends. It would look stripey. This is not a job to be done at home. I would also recommend an in salon conditioning product and the appropriate shampoo and cond to help restore your hair. Be patient, this is going to take several visits to get the perfect balance of tones and levels of darker blond. If YOU or someone else just dumps a brown over the entire thing we are going to see another post from you in tears. It is going to be a shock, a gross- "hollow" tone and difficult to remove.

Thicker hair?

Hey, I have really thin hair, and when I put it half up, half down, it always looks so bad because it's so thin, most of the hair is up.

Thicker hair?

I'm not really sure how to help you with natural hair growth, but maybe you can go check out my newest question when it has answers. Maybe it'll help. But, I do recommend putting a root lifting mouse of some sort and blow drying with a medium size round brush to give your hair a fuller, natural look. I'm sorry, but that's all I can really think of right now. I hoped I helped a little bit. =]]

Thicker hair?

O I fell bad for ya i have really thick hair the oppistet of yours I really dont know

Thicker hair?

You can get some Volume hairspray and Shampoo. And when you get out of the shower and your hair is damp apply alittle hairspray and mouse, then brush it. Don't blow dry it though, it'll look like a mess! Hope I helped.
