Delightful Posted December 18, 2016 Posted December 18, 2016 Im considering either dying tips or getting highlights of purple or blue. (My hair is black/brown) (Firstly I don't have the knowledge or money to do so but I'm dreaming). Or even a short term dye that'll wash out in a couple weeks. My hair just takes forever to grow so I don't want to mess up and have to cut a bunch off.

marsoupial they/them Posted December 18, 2016 Posted December 18, 2016 One of my closest friends dyes her hair various colors all the time. I could get some input from her if you'd like.

To give you some idea, I put up a picture of Jyn Erso on Facebook and a relative who knows me well said "wait.....is that you?" She's clearly not me but there's a basic resemblance.

Yeah, you'd definitely need to lighten first if you wanted to get any sort of bold color effect. And as for damage to the hair, it really depends on the starting health of the stuff to begin with. People who do a lot of recoloring all the time do tend to wind up with damaged ends, but I think for a first-timer you'd probably be fine. Especially if you just want to do the ends - worst case scenario, things get damaged and you have to trim it off down the road and end up with slightly shorter hair. I do recommend getting it done by a professional stylist, though; they know what they're doing and have the right products to do it well. (And yes, this is very much a "do as I say not as I do" sort of thing from the woman who is planning to dump manic panic into her next henna mix just to see what it does to the roots of her hair.) 2

I did mine myself. And I bought the dye. I've bleached the tips of my hair, but dyed the whole head. The purple won't be as vibrant on the non-bleached portions, but it will show up a little bit and make it look more put together. Basically what Kaymyth said, you'll be fine if your hair is already healthy, and bleaching the ends is the way to go. Doing your hair at home is fine and costs less. But I recommend getting someone to help you (in my case, my mom) with parts like the back. For brands, I recommend Manic Panic. Their bleach kit works well and comes with a tinting brush you can hold onto and use to apply the dye. They have a variety of colors, but for I like Blue Moon and Violet Night the best. They're on Amazon and also have their own website. Hope that helps.
marsoupial they/them Posted December 19, 2016 Posted December 19, 2016 I got a haircut. It's shorter, again.
Mistrunner Posted December 22, 2016 Posted December 22, 2016 I, too, got a haircut. I have a bob again! I've missed short hair.
marsoupial they/them Posted December 22, 2016 Posted December 22, 2016 (edited) Short hair isn't as nice when it's freezing I might take a picture once I stop looking like I just rolled out of bed (which I did). Edited December 22, 2016 by bleeder
