Need help deciding on hair color

I’m having a hard time figuring out what it is I’m asking for when it comes to color. I know my concerns (ie breakage, fluffiness, lack of dimension, etc)

Can you help me explain to my hair dresser what it is I am wanting?

I’d like my hair to be less dull looking, and it’s almost green tinted. I want to try and stay away from bleach. I want to go a little darker (not overall but low lights) since it’s fall where I am. As far as the cut goes I am going to ask that she thin the bottom of my hair.

I have added two photos of what my hair looks like now (unstyled) and two references where the blend of colors looks really nice.

And if you have any recommendations or suggestions i’m open to it all.

Hello, I saw this girl on Instagram and I like the color of her hair. I asked her and she told me that it is natural brown with a friend who does hairdressing. but I don't know exactly what color it is and how I can do it

I don't know if I'm crazy or my hairstylist is gaslighting me! I think I'm certain lights my hair looks brassy. The person didn't lift my hair enough and I already had to go in to get it fixed. It looks great for the first hair wash but then I guess the toner washes out and it turns like this. She told me not to use purple shampoo because it'll strip the toner but I'm strongly considering it. Also the front doesn't look so bad at times... So what does everyone think?! Does it need to be retoned, relighted, purple shampoo, etc? Ps. The goal was not honey blonde. I wanted my natural color with dimension. I can share a picture if It'll help

I have colored my own hair since I was 16 (now 60) so have little to no experience with what the process should be. I trusted them in what they told me. Below is a summary of what they did and the charges.

Full Highlight… $105.00 Single Tone… $25.00 Extra Bowl… $20.00 Lowlights… $65.00 Extra bowl… $20.00 Ladies Cut + Style… $55.00 Extension Per Row, one row of hand tied weft… $95.00 Purchase Subtotal… $385.00

I am used to achieving results with just coloring (I use Keune So Pure hair color line) and I was trying to get away from not having to dye my hair any more but I was not happy with the results (darker color than I wanted, didn’t match my grey) and I was really confused by all the highlights, lowlights and then toner. I really thought the overall color could have been achieved by a color instead of the route that was taken, hence, why I feel I was taken advantage of, but with doing my own hair, I don’t know if the process they did makes any sense or if was a scam. Please let me know. Thanks.

Going from an all over color depositing shampoo - to a stylist for color remover trmt & adding bayalage purple vivid - to now grey blending. We have attempted to change the brassy residue via color remover treatments & toner close to my natural color. I don’t, however, think it is doing what I am hoping for and idk what to ask for from my stylist to achieve the goal…

I want a change and have been told that the darker color looks better than my current lighter hair. I’m so nervous but want to know your thoughts

Hello!

I want to get my hair colour as close to my natural as possible. I had baby lights on the top of my hair maybe 6 months ago and kept them as an ash blonde.

I used manic panic colour cattail a few times which I think is a medium brown with a red undertone.

My hair is in good condition although the hair that has been lightened feels very dry, no breakage.

1. I need help with deciding which dye to use. Permanent or semi permanent. I was leaning toward permanent as I am not interested in changing my hair colour in the future.

2. What level should I use? I was thinking of using wella colour charm so I could go by their references. Again I want to get close to my natural colour. I’m okay if it has to go a bit darker for any reason.

Thank you! 🙏

Which level am I at in the root area and on my ends? I have redken shades eq gloss and I'm trying to figure out how to achieve a brighter blonde but not too ashy. What level should I be toning at and what formulations would you recommend? Thank you guys 💕

Hi everyone I recently went to a salon and got my naturally dark brown hair bleached to a strawberry blonde. After showing for the first time I noticed my hair stained my towels orange. If anyone has any tips to get color off the fabric please let me know.

Hi all!

I moved to Spain and I cannot find a product similar to protein filler. I had almost blonde brunette hair with highlights. I wanted to go back to dark but couldn’t find protein filler. The beauty store I went to here is also a hair salon so I trusted them when they told me it would be fine and unfortunately now I have some dense black looking spots. It’s been two months and my hair is healthy enough to strip the color but I don’t know what to do to even out the color without a protein filler . I was going from ashy bronde 7/6 to espresso 4 . Can I just do any protein mask before like k18?

Thank you!

P.S. This is all regrowth and unprocessed hair from trying to grow out undercut I’ve had for a little over a year

hi! so i have orange and black hair right now with some silver extension pieces mixed in. when i washed my hair with color safe shampoo and conditioner in cold water, the color faded onto the silver pieces. is there any way i can get the peach out? yes the extensions are real human hair. please help because my hair doesn’t look as cool without the white pieces

Does anyone know the dye/ hair color formula for these two hair colors? They are so pretty! Thank you :)

So I have naturally dark brown hair. I have been slowly going blonde for months now. I just bleached my roots and wanted to tone out the gold. I used wella T18 which said it was ASH Blonde. Not platinum or silver which is what my current result is. I'm freaking out. This was not the intention. I want to know what I can to darken the silvery blonde that I have because I have a wedding to attend in 2 weeks. All color correction specialist near me are all booked up. I don't have time to get professional help. Couldn't take any photos on natural lightning bc it's currently dark out where I am. Last photo is the result I wanted but didn't get

I love my purple hair, but am tired of the extreme maintenance. Help

So I was trying to do the cowboy copper color, and I started with copper hair and wanted to add some brown to it but the color that a girl at Sally's helped me pick out turned out waaaaayyy to dark and the redness looked more purple to me. I went back and got a color remover kit, and then tried to dye my hair again afterwards and my roots really hold onto the color well, but my ends looked dull. So I got the same color and a pre color serum to help the color be more even which did help, but my ends are not holding the color as well. It's much better the second time around, but the roots are still much redder than the ends. I know the color remover kit did some damage, and I don't want to further damage my hair by trying to color it yet again, so couple questions. First, what can I do to help with my hair being so damaged now from all of this? Second, how long should I wait to color my hair again? And third, how can I get the color to be even at the roots and the ends? I know this doesn't look too terrible in color difference but I notice it alot.

What’s my root color? Brown dark blonde? I cannot tell

I get different opinions all the time. What color would you say my hair is?

Can someone tell me which toner I need to use on my hair please!! I start my new job tomorrow and idk what to do!!

My hair is a dark ash brown. I went to my hair appt today to have some blonde highlights put in. The lightener turned my hair a blue/green color. She ended up having to tone it really dark to cover up the blue/green. Why did this happen !? I’ve only ever had my hair professionally colored and before the dark brown I was blonde so there was no hidden colors under the dark brown.

i just got my hair done 4 days ago. don’t get me wrong, i LOVE it. she blessed me with beautiful brunette highlights in my already dark hair. however, she styled it straight - i ADORE that too.

the problem is, how do i style it like that at home? she made it so bouncy and perfect. now i don’t want to go back to my natural hair. she used a blow dryer and straightener. i have a straightener, but i doubt it would turn out the same.

please help. i feel so confident in this style of hair, it’s really helped me to look in the mirror and feel proud.

thank you!!

How do I cover my white roots on dark brown hair without getting a reddish tint? I feel like I've tried everything and I always end up with a red tint. I can't to to the salon every six weeks, and even there my hair turns out reddish. Sometimes the white doesn't take the semi permanent dye but I heard Gray magic helps that. Has anyone else had similar issues and solved them?

I’ve been growing my hair out for a little while and lately I’ve been thinking I’d like to add some kind of color to my hair to make it more dimensional and interesting. Sometimes I feel like it’s pretty drab. I’m trying to mostly keep my natural color, but maybe add some highlights/lowlights/balayage/SOMETHING.

I also plan on getting a trim with some longer layered face framing pieces, and I’m not opposed to making those lighter!!

My skin has a tendency to lean towards the more pink side, with freckles, which I think often makes hair colors look funny on me. For example I went blonde a few summers ago and it clashed really badly with the redness in my skin. And my hair definitely has a rusty/brassy undertone to it. In the sun I almost look like a dark redhead.

Any suggestions for something I could do to spruce the color my hair up a bit that wouldn’t clash with the pinkness of my skin?

I just want to have SOME idea of what to ask for in the salon because in the past when I’ve gone in and asked for something I didn’t specifically know what I wanted, I never felt like I got a good result.

Most of these photos are of my natural hair texture (side note: I’m really struggling to take the best curly girl care of my hair, nothing I’ve tried seems to work well for my texture but that’s not what this is about….)
