The Blonde Hair Thread #2

[ediewho]

Done today! from Summer trash brunette to repairing makeover back to blonde + going back to Keune hair products. I so loved them!
I've also changed Stylists & I'm so blown away by the amazing change!

(sorry for the poor quality pic)

^I'm in love with your fringe. The color looks great as well!

^Cheers... i was hesitating but this awesome hairdresser was like... "you really should get it back..." since i showed her a pic of old hairdos... and she did a great job... honestly my hair was beyond disastrous before this and now its soft and nice... gotta take a better shot of it

Wow I really love that topic!

I've decided to join you, because my adventure with blonde hair is very long.. my hair is naturally rather light (around 8Level, ash ) and very thin. I can't have any extentions because my hair wouldn't survive the treatment.

I once was a brunette ( when I was around 16-18), then I have decided to go blonde, and so far, I've been a light blonde.

Now I have decided to do ombre hair in blonde (the base is darker, the ends stayed the same from previous bleaching).

I must admit, I don't feel good about the colour, which is a bit too ashy - it looks greenish/greish in light.
I would LOVE to get my hair even darker, like 7 level, natural dark blonde/mokka blonde, like Monika Jac's.

Some of my friends say I will look terrible with darker shade, and it wouldnt suit be because I'm extremely pale.
What do you guys think?

^ Judging by the two photos, I think you rock both colors! Maybe the ombre one even better - your hair looks shinier and smoother. I'm sure you would look just as great with even darker hair

I like the second pic best.

 

[pengy]

^ I second that. Looks far more natural too

 

[diesanni]

^I like that shade a lot, I think it would really make eyes pop.

it looks greenish because you need a filler. I say go for it, but don't be hasty. Spend a few weeks deep conditioning your hair, getting it in top notch condition, maybe get a trim, and do lots of protein treatments so that the color grabs properly.

Thanks so much for your reply, girls!

I must admit my hair isn't damaged at all (they were damaged in the first photo)but before dying it darker I have taken lots of professional keratin hair treatment and it definetely made my hair better.

I know I shouldn't be hasty but I just feel so so terrible with that shade.. Ican't wait to go to my stylist and tell him I wanna light brown/dark blonde (I'll take the photo posted above).
I'm going to talk to him tomorrow and discuss what to do etc I'll see what he tells me.

If your stylist is doing it for you- then you should be in good hands. Did you do the darker shade yourself the first time?

 

[arwen-undomiel]

It's a complicated thing, no no I didn't do it myself but I'm an actress. I took part in a short drama, and I went to the set. I played a 17 year old girl so they dyed my hair to make it look more natural than it was.
They used professional products (LOral majirel with 1,6% ) so it wasn't that bad.
But I have my own stylist, whom I love and he knows my hair pretty well. This is why I decided to go and meet him, get some advice - maybe he'll tell me that the shade I want is impossible to achieve just yet, I just want to talk.

It's just, I start season in theatre soon, and I want to have this darker shade without doing any changes in the middle of rehearsals, cuz it's not very welcomed.. lol

 

[dauphine]

Did you meet with him yet?
My bangs are not still definitely a big mistake - I know now I only look good with long swoopy grown out bangs. I feel like my hair looks like Justin Bieber.

Yes I have been there last week, didn't have time to write. SO getting to natural light brown is not easy at all. He said we need to do it gradually, so that my hair won't turn black or green.
He darkened my hair a little bit, and it is medium ashy blonde. I don't like it at the moment because it does look a tiny bit green, but apparently, it is needed before the final step. In a month I will dye my hair light brown and it will be ok, I hope. I trust my hairdresser, tho I do admit, I hate doing things step by step as some steps are less attractive than others.

What is interesting, my hairdresser recommended BioKap, have you heard of it? The dye composes in 90% of natural ingredients. It's got lots of colours ,it is not henna or chna. Apparently it doesn't damage hair that much, and is rather safe for allerics.

 

[dauphine]

Haven't heard of it, are you in the EU?

 

[arwen-undomiel]

No, the USA. (but oryginally from Poland). But apparently it's an Italian dye. I think you can order it on their website, it's certified organic. I haven't heard of it before to be honest, but I am definetely going to try one day.

It sounds very interesting! I don't dye my hair, I've gone cold turkey on dye/lighteners, and my hair has really improved because of it.

I loved it when she did the heidi braids.

Every time I see her hair, I start feeling the twitch to grab for the bleach again.
