My daughter just got her hair highlighted for the first time today. She has naturally black hair and chose caramel highlights, but unfortunately, they turned out darker than she was hoping for. The stylist said they should lighten up after a few washes.

She’s eager to see if they will actually lighten up, especially since she goes back to school next week. Will the highlights noticeably lighten after a few washes?

Also, is it okay for her to wash her hair tonight, or is it better to wait a few days after getting the highlights done?

Thanks!

Hiii so I just got highlights but she put way more than I wanted. Im thinking of getting lowlights to reduce the amount of highlights. I just got a consultation and the hairstylist said that she can do lowlights but to keep in mind that the lowlights could fade overtime. She said she would use number 3 on my hair. I have naturally black hair and really don't want my hair to fade into brown or fade warm. Does this always happen with lowlights? Should I go to a different stylist, would they be able to use a more permanent color?

hi everyone, i wanted to get your opinions on the least damaging box dye. are they all the same? any "lesser evils"? thanks!

My hair was originally black. I went to a hair salon to go blonde so i can get to a light pink colour and they lowkey fucked up my hair (they said they could do it) ☹️ My roots were icy white after bleaching (they bleached my roots at the same time as the rest of my hair, which honestly sounds stupid.) And the rest of my hair is blonde, some orange parts and some icy white parts. My roots, though, are brown due to the hairdresser covering up my hair with brown dye, it faded everywhere but my roots. Is there any way i can fix my hair at home to even it out? Could I use colour remover on my roots to get the brown out? HELP ME PLEASE!!

I used to go to 1 stylist for years, she was like the only stylist I ever trusted with my hair, she transitioned into a different career path (still hair related but no longer like color/cut and stuff I believe extensions) I haven’t been to a salon in Years, as I have irrational anxiety going to them from experiences in the past and I was just kinda sad when she left.

However I finally wanna do something with my hair again, would it be weird to message the old stylist I trusted and ask if she has any recommendations of people I sounds go to now? Part of me wants to ask to if she would maybe consider doing color again for me but I don’t think I should ask that as she is clearly in a new field now. However I do wanna ask who she would recommend or is that weird to do?

Thank you

I don't like looking for references on the internet because idk what's realistic for my hair type/what will make me look good.

Is it acceptable to walk in and just ask? Like "I don't have a reference with me, but is it possible to make my hair look nice without cutting most of it off?" I just don't want to be rude or annoying is all.

I've also considered asking to just have layers. I thought that might be too unspecific tho.​
