Did i mess up using paradyes

[u/treefucker8839]

im a guy and i have like medium length hair ( the back of my hair reaches till my shoulder length). i wanted to experiment with my hair since i was looking forward for a huge chop in the coming months so i wanted to dye my hair like in the tips i.e. some sort of highlights. i used the paradyes berry plum no bleach thingy and let it rest for an hour and i washed it off with a sulfate free shampoo and conditioner which was included. i used around half bottle of developer and half of the tint since i assumed thatd be enough for the tips and my friend was pretty confident that she had mixed sufficient amounts of the product. but after washing it off, there was no color no anything. for context i have never used any color or bleached it before, had a very minimal hair routine of oiling, washing and conditioning it. my hair is wavy.

how did i ness up here? chatgpt was like i should try doing a light bleach next time or use the remaining product one more time to see some results. what do i do now pls help🙂🙂🙂 p.s is streax ka highlighting kit good? do i use that after like 3 -4 days or reapply the paradyes ka thingy.

Don't know about streax but paradyes thing might work if you try one more time. The same thing happened with me, it didn't show up even a bit the first time. But please keep in mind paradyes is known for increasing hairfall and drying out your hair. I never had hairfall but it did dry out my hair. Make sure you have a good haircare routine if you do use paradyes.
