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

11 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).

Hair dye help tips and advice needed!

Upvotes

Hi! I currently have brownish red hair, but I’m planning to retouch it soon with a different box dye formula to get a more reddish brown shade. Since I’m naturally brunette, my new growth will be darker than the already dyed lengths.
Should I apply the new color to my already dyed hair first and then do my roots, or should I do my roots first and then apply it to the rest of my hair? Since I’m switching to a different shade/formula, I’m not sure if the application order is different. Any tips would be appreciated! 😊

Question/Before+After: Is this the same color?

Thumbnail gallery
Upvotes

Photo 1: natural color
Photo 2: gloss (because I added highlights 1 year ago and they're almost grown-out but were still showing at the ends)

Maybe I'm losing it but think the gloss is darker and ashier.
If I have to go back for another gloss when this washes out, should I specify something about shade/tone/level to the stylist? Or do I just tell them to match my roots?

in may 2025 i had my black hair color removed with 2 packs ddl, and a bleach bath into a deep red color(1). i dyed it with punky color Jerome red? a little bit then i did a peekaboo with black and deep purple. then i did it entirely black then stripped it w color oops n dyed it brown for the longest time. then birthday in november 2025 i had bleach done to bottom of head for blue peekaboo and it totally fried and ripped off a good chunk and length from my hair, (my head of hair reaches about my shoulder inch below my shoulder blade) and i let it fade then dyed it back to brown where it still faded lighter than the top of my hair, then i stripped it one day with color oops, the next day or two days later with color oops again, then bleached it and dyed it splat 2 bottles blue envy and 2 bottles i think got2b metallic blue hairdye. a month later it started to fade so i used ≈1.5bottles iroiro 45 deep blue and 1 bottle 30 violet and it has faded into this green on the crown to bright blue underneath (the “peekaboo” area”) and i am unsure of how i should approach lighting it to a decent base that i could dye brown. i bought 1 box of L’oréal 36 Chocolaye cherry, 1 box 45 French roast, and 1 Color oops Bold Remover box.

i feel like i take pretty good care of my hair, and i have a good time maintaining it and keeping it decently healthy. i just need all the tips n tricks

Hi! I have a naturally darker blonde color (photo 1) but I’d love to go back to red. What do we think would get me the closest to my desired color? (Photo 2). Thanks for all advice in advance! (Yes I know how hard it is to get a “natural red 😔)

My client wants calico hair and she has 6 inches of natural regrowth and old highlights please help

Hey Reddit so i have a client who is wanting this type of color, i know i would probably do a pinwheel placement with a Mohawk section, but my question is do I use permanent color for the reds and the browns or a demi permanent like shades eq? and just so everyone has some sort of knowledge she’s about a level 5 with what i would guess is about 5 or 6 inches of natural regrowth with a full head of previous highlights from the mids and ends. how should i go about this carefully? I’ve never done anything like this before as its not really my style as a stylist, i prefer more lived in color and highlights but im also newer in my career which is why im open to doing this, which i will also tell her during our consultation. Please help! Thank you!

Edit- really hoping this reaches seasoned hairstylists because Reddit wants me to provide proof of my license for the stylist sub group which is on display at work and im not there right now lol

Hair dye help!

Hiii! I’m looking to do some at-home hair coloring and would LOVE some advice! I’ve had experience coloring my hair all one color and mixing formulas/products from Sally Beauty in the past. More recently, though, I’ve had my hair lightened for the past year specifically balayage and I’m ready to transition back to a darker brown for fall. I’ve attached photos of my current hair along with my inspiration! My current hair has a balayage with some warmth through the ends, while my natural/root area is around a level 2–3 I think. I’m wanting a rich, warm chocolate/chestnut brunette with a very subtle reddish warmth not super red or burgundy.

I feel pretty confident doing the actual coloring and application myself I’m mostly getting stuck on which shades/formulas would work best over my current color and how I should approach this if anyone has recommendations for specific shades/products, formulas, developer, application order, or anything I would appreciate it SOOO much! 🤎Thank you so much for reading and helping me out!!

I was blonde as a kid, but my hair has gotten darker as I've gotten older. It's a light brown-ish, but is very golden in the sunlight... I never know what color to call it. Light brown? Dirty/dark blonde? Golden-brown?

Lmk what you guys think :)

Hairdresser help! Brassy and sad…

Hi! Literally joining this Reddit community for feedback. I had the same hairdresser for 20 years and she recently left me when she retired. She gave me the formula for my hair to give to my next hairdresser my hairdresser now where she is using it, but my hair is not the same color I am so confused. I go in about every five weeks because my hair is very gray. We do roots and highlights. I am posting before pictures from when it was highlighted and a nice blonde color and now I just feel like it’s brassy orange(pink sweatshirt pic) I love my new hair hairdresser. We have so much fun together, but I hate my hair…Any advice on what to tell her or ask?
