When I dye my hair I don't want it to be pastel-y, just true to the sample and really rich. Should I not bleach too much then, or will it work better if my hair is as light as possible?

Thanks guys!

The blonder you bleach it the truer the color will be. LIke my hair, when I bleach it, under the bleaching stuff it turns red then orange then yellow and then blonde. But I usually only let it sit long enough to get to yellow, it makes the color darker than it is supposed to be, but I'm afraid if it goes all the way bleached, I would have to leave the stuff in my hair too long and it would hurt it.

and as to the other question: Because it is fun. Why not have a little fun. Why do people get tattoos or piercings? becuase they like them, and dying your hair is much less permanent than a tat.

I have never dyed my hair, I have rinsed it with chamomile tea in the summer and hydrogen peroxide in the winter and let the sun do the rest. I like the purplish hue it pck up in the winter, but I would never try to recreate it.

Good news!

My mom and I have come to an agreement. The backstory: I have really thick-curly hair, so it would be really complicated to bleach and dye it. Fortunetely, she's going to let me color my bangs!

What color, now. . .?

Darker or lighter, Chloe?

I'm getting like pink or blue or something.
Not normal, of course. : )

But I could do purple, or anything! It's so hard to decide.

I have "war wounds" so I have found a great color from Natural Match by Loreal. Medium Dark, Golden Brown.
My natural color has mahogany & gold in it - go figure, but I like it & this coloring system works for me.

Oh, and I have natural curly hair, too & coloring seems to enhance that. Go figure that, too.
