Hair dye makes better hair quality?

Hm... I don't know if it's possible to have a "white dye", per se. It's difficult to make a product that will deposit a white pigment evenly on the hair strand. I hope you are able to decide on what to do about the bleach.

SamuraiHero, have you tried that temporary streak stuff? Or maybe the kind that comes in a spray can? I used to see middle school kids use that stuff all the time. It comes in all sorts of colors, perhaps even white.

my mom's hair dresser bleached her hair three time in a row to get the black out, and it went from jet black to light brown. her hairs really damaged and dry and frizzy. but when she straightens it (with a flat iron), it looks all soft and shiny. If you're going to bleach your hair, i recommend you to use a really good hair straightener to keep your hair from looking dry.

I think that's obvious...I already have salon that I usually go to.

Well, I don't really want to take a big risk of having dry looking hair, because then I would have dry hair for a long time till it grows out and gets trimmed. Man, I never knew it was such a big deal just to change the color of your hair.

Not necessarily "more", but maybe more times.

More bleaching = more damage.

but more bleaching = whiter hair.

Your choice. It's a risk you'd have to take if you want white hair.

Hi, SS. Yes...bleaching can make your hair very dry! Especially if you have far to go and need a lot of bleach (if your hair is dark). If you really want your hair all the way white, it will almost certainly be dry. I guess it's a trade-off. You could try it if you really want white hair...you just have to be ready for the dryness.

What color is your hair now?

No, because you want white hair, and you're an artist so you know white isn't actually a color.

Dye = adding a color different than your natural color

You would only bleach, then tone.

Your hair is short so it won't be that dry, as long as you condition your hair every time you shampoo. Long hair takes more damage from chemicals than short hair does.

And besides, dye makes your hair drier anyway. If you skip the dye and just use a toner, then you're saving yourself one step of damage.

Yes.. Remove your natural hair color by using a bleaching agent. But don't bleach again. Some people bleach and bleach until their hair is white. This will damage hair.

Instead, bleach ONCE, then use a toner to cancel out the remaining yellowish-ness. Toner is usually violet, and it cancels out yellow because it's opposite on the color wheel.
