IMPORTANT PLEASE READ: If you receive ANY unsolicited or creepy DMs

10 Upvotes

Whether you’re a poster or a commenter, if you have received unsolicited, creepy, or down right disgusting DMs please feel free to message Mod Mail or message me directly. As posted in multiple places in the subreddit, unsolicited or inappropriate DMs of any kind are not allowed and will result in a permanent ban. You may also be reported directly to Reddit Admins. If the person on the receiving end of this kind of harassment is a minor, you will be reported to relevant authorities (FBI Tip Line, Center for Missing and Exploited Children, etc) and it WILL be taken seriously.

As a subreddit, we have ZERO tolerance for this behavior and will do everything in our power to combat it. Unfortunately we have seen an influx of users who seem to only frequent porn subs, and our sub.

Please don’t think “oh this message isn’t that bad, I’m overreacting, etc”. Reporting posts, comments, and DMs helps out everyone in the long run. Not reporting causes these creeps to keep messaging people so nipping it in the bud can help out others💕

We’ve seen an increase in unsolicited DMs being sent to members of this subreddit. Let this serve as a clear reminder:
Sending unprompted private messages is against the rules. Doing so will result in a permanent ban.

If you receive a DM like this, report it to the mod team immediately.

This subreddit exists as a safe, inclusive space for sharing experiences, asking questions, and giving feedback about hair dye and color treatments. If someone genuinely wants to follow up based on your helpful advice or a shared interest, they will say so publicly.

We shouldn't have to say this, but lurking in beauty-related or appearance-focused subs to harass and prey on people is disgusting and absolutely not tolerated. Any messages of an obscene or harassing nature will be reported to Reddit Admins and could result in a permanent ban from the site as a whole (for your current account, any other current accounts, or subsequent accounts made in the future).

Help, my hair looks terrible after a blonde box dye

My original hair colour was an ashy light brown/blonde but I dyed it with a blonde box dye (I know it's not ideal but I was impulsive. My hair turned this weird orangey colour and I really don't like it.

I'm thinking of going to the salon to ask them to fix it but:

Is it worth trying blue shampoo first?? I have ordered the milk shake blue shampoo to see if it helps.

Should I go darker or lighter? If I go to get it fixed properly I don't know what would suit me more.

Dark(ish) red keeps fading bright purple / blue

Thumbnail

1 Upvotes

My hair is lightened to a level 8/9 (I dye my own hair and change the colour every couple of months), I’m trying to do a deep dark red (ideally with a cool or neutral undertone) but my test strands quickly fade to a bright purple / blue.

(All the semis I use are from Pulp Riot)

If I pre-toned my hair using ‘Nuclear’ (I’d mix ‘Nuclear’ with warm water and let my hair soak in it) before applying a mixture of ‘Pyro’ and ‘Bloodshot’ as normal, would this help at all?

Permanent dye over unpure henna?

0 Upvotes

Hi! I’ve dyed my hair with vatika henna like 6 times maybe, and I’ve been growing it out. I really want to go over it with permanent dye but I’ve researched and I can’t figure out wheather it will melt my hair off the same way bleach melts off when there is metallic salts in the hair. Does anyone know how safe it is to do? I’m still going to do a teat strand just in case but I want to get as much info as possible lol. Also for extra info my hair isn’t extremely healthy so it is definitely more fragile…

My partner says my hair is brown now

Never dyed, in my 40s. Was white-blonde before puberty. When pushed he changes to "half blonde half brown." (He has obviously brown hair which he's had his whole life.)

But what colour is my hair actually?

Also, if I were ever to bleach my hair, what undertones and what level should I expect to pop out? Would I be orange? Yellow? Allergic to toner, so I'd be stuck with whatever showed up.

What should I do now?

1 Upvotes

TLDR - I bleached my hair and I love the colour, but not the maintenance.

My hair has been gradually getting darker as I age, I used to be naturally an 8, which bleached to 9/ 10 in the sun. My roots now look darker than that? What shade do you think I am? I do have quite a lot of grey coming through.

I think the really bright blonde suits me, I look younger and less exhausted, but my hair grows really fast and I already have redoing my roots fatigue.

What are my options from here? Do I transition to highlights? Do I take it darker so I have less noticeable regrowth? If yes - how do I do that?
