Who has their hair dyed?

[Honeykiss1974]

My hair is dyed "oriental black/blue black". Its by Bigen and although it is permanent color, it is VERY gentle. I like this color on my because it brings out the honey color of my eyes really well.

My hair is naturally brown.

I have done everything to my hair. Highlights, at home full dye job. Just a few months ago, a year after going back to my natual brown hair, I got nice honey colored low-lights. Supposedly they are less harsh color & chemical wise for the hair.

you so fine, you'll look good in any hair color. yes...even purple

my hair is naturally dark brown. i never dyed it until i was about to start college in 2001. my hairdresser was competing in a hair makeover contest and i was one of his models. he did an awesome job with highlights and cut. (plus it was free!!!) http://www.nathanlstylist.com/portfolio.html (i'm the first one. can you tell the drastic difference)

after that i kept getting highlights and root retouching. but my hair kept getting blonder and blonder and it started to look brassy. so i did a home dye (cause i was broke. lol) to a semi dark loreal hair color. and i've been doing that for a few months.

i tried dying it black, but it didn't look good on me i wanted to go back to brown two weeks later and tried that stuff that supposedly removes permanent color when it just bleaches it (i had brown spots, orange spots and blonde spots throughout my hair from it). it turned out ok cause i dyed it a dark brown. but the color is fading and i'm thinking about going to a salon and getting highlights again. i don't want them so bright and so thick cause i HATE HATE HATE when my roots start showing!

The story of my hair:

My hair has not been its natural color since I was in 6th grade. While growing up, I had blonde hair. Then when I was in 7th grade, I dyed it red (with a turquoise streak ). When the roots grew back, the hair was much darker and I really hated it, so I started going blonde at home. All through high school, I had the blonde single process- not always the same color, but still the same honey blondish tone. Over time though, my roots had become SO dark. Then, when I was going through recruitment, I decided on a whim to go dark because I was sick of the upkeep (this was when Gwyneth, Cameron Diaz, Mandy Moore all went dark). My hair was a dark chocolate brown (also at home). I liked it, but it just didn't suit me as well as the blonde. I was so washed out!

So right before summer school started, I decided to let my friend take me back to blonde with a Feria kit. Even though she had never dyed anyone's hair before, I knew that my mom had done it for YEARS without any beautician skills, so how hard could it be? WRONG. My hair turned a horrendous orangey brown color- it looked awful! I knew I could not go to school looking like this, so I went to a local salon to have corrective color. My stylist there took me to a medium brown with honey highlights, which I really liked, for the summer.

But before school started in the fall, I decided to go back to blonde. I went back to that same stylist, and I have never gone back. I now have blonde highlights and lowlights all over. It's a very pretty color. It makes me sick to my stomach to pay so much money to get my hair done, but the results are wonderful. I'm so afraid to have my hair colored at home now after my traumatic incident. I'm also afraid to see what my natural hair color would look like on me.

I used to be one of those purists: No coloring the hair, no tanning beds, no piercings. Riiiiiiight. I was born a redhead, quickly became a blondie (around 3 or 4) then gradually my hair got darker, with nice golden natural highlights. I've dyed it auburn on a few occasions and espresso brown once. I like my hair darker but I don't like the hassle of coloring it.

I have brown hair w/ blonde highlights and carmel lowlights. I love it! I've been getting my hair highlighted for about 4 years now.

Lately I've been thinking about going less dramatic w/ the blonde highlights, or even just ditching the highlights altogether. It's just so expensive to maintain, and eventually I'm going to have to ALWAYS dye my hair to cover up that gray, so I might enjoy my natural color for a little bit while I still can.

My hair is naturally a light brown/honey colored. I've been adding blonde streaks to it since my freshman year.

I'm going to also co-sign the whole "No Sun-In" thing. I guess the chemical never really completely washes out of your hair and it will cause your hair to lighten everytime you go out in the sun. My roommate my freshman year used it (she had medium brown) hair and her hair turned orange after spending too much time in the sun. If you want highlights, spend the extra money and get it professionally done.

I have never dyed my hair, nor do I ever plan on it! I'm terrified that what I do to it won't turn out right & I'll have to wait on it grow out or take my chances & try another color!

My mother has her license to do hair but she really only does her own-if she tried to come @ my hair w/ color I'd run for the hills!

i don't do the at home box thing i rather go to a salon and have it done. I get the foil treatment. Me and Redken have a very close relationship. It helps when your mother still keeps her cosmotology lic after 25 yrs and can buy direct hair products for me to Redken and all other top names products.

my natural hair color is lt. brownish blonde and i get bleach, lt. blonde and moccroan brown hi-lights though out

My hair is naturally borwn with some very bubtle blond and red hilights.

I've been dying my hair since I was 14. I want to get back to my original colour, but I doubt that will ever happen.

Currenlt my hair is dyed a brownish red colour

I haven't seen completely natural hair color since my sophomore year of college. I do it at home...however much to my dismay my Colorstay has been discontinued and I've been forced back into the market to find something comparable. I discovered last night that Nice & Easy Dark Caramel Brown is NOT it. I look like f@#$ing Morticia right now. Grrr. I may have to hop on the Prell train to get this out of my hair sooner.

I want to get highlights, but my mom thinks hates the idea. Since I live at home, there's nothing I can do about it.

I used to dye my hair coppery-red (it's naturally light brown with blonder highlights). I did it myself with the boxed stuff but quit because I was frying my hair. Yesterday I found an old picture of me with dyed hair and I decided I really miss that color. Might start dyeing it again.

My hair is naturally reddish brown, moreso in the summer, but I started with the dye in 8th, and have been going strong since. For some reason, when mine grows out, it looks like I purposely streaked it (seriously, I get compliments on the color). I'm anywhere from auburn to copper and I love it.

OH, I had gotten this Aussie conditioner from Drug Emporium YEARS ago before they went out of business. It was made for people with red hair, and it enhanced the red in between dyes (the actual conditioner was red, it had some dye in it). I LOVED it, people always thought I re-dyed my hair every week, it made it VERY vibrant, but I can't find it anymore

But for you, try something semi-permanent or a rinse first to make sure you like it!

My back hair is dyed orange because I worry about hunters when I'm at the beach.
