Hi Borne.blonde,
 
Well that is a great question. Well we all have the same body temperature when we are well, around 37 degrees, as our bodies have an even temperature all over, it would be impossible to counteract the affects that heat from the scalp and the colouring process. Then only thing I have came across in my days of hairdressing, is if the temperature outside (winter) and the effects this can cause in( example) a salon enviroment, and the temperature in the salon (if cold) can affect the colouring process, hence why most salons have climazones or hooded driers, lol.
 
I hope this helps some what in answering your question, and a great one at that, lol.

I was just thinking about this today! (related) to scalp heat, I wondered if people had differences in head temperature & how FAR the heat effects would radiate & how to adapt.

Hope she gets the color she wishes!

Thank you great Q & A!

Well I take fish oil (omega 3) and it never effects my colour nor should it.
 
Whats went wrong is that the colour process for virgin hair should always be to colour ends first then mid lengths the roots last, as the root area always processes quicker due to the natural heat from the scalp. So what you mum has is root glow. Try applying the same colour to the root area only, this should even out her colour. As for the red, chestnut has a red warm tone.
 
I hope this helps a little,
 
Karen :)

Hello everyone. This is my first post here, so I'm new. I joined because I have a question for my mother.
 
My mother is 41 years old and about 6 weeks ago she started taking fish oil to lower her cholesterol.
 
She has grown out all of her chemically treated hair, so she had a full head of virgin hair.
 
This weekend she decided to have me dye her hair. Her natural color is a dark black/brown (she's Italian). However, she felt it was a little mousey in color, and wanted something richer. So she picked out a rich chestnut brown color by Garnier.
 
I have always had great results with Garnier's hair dye. But, when I dyed my mother's hair this weekend, the roots of her hair (about 1 inch down) turned out significantly more red in color than the rest of her hair. Now, this color was not supposed to look red at all, and it remained a chestnut color on the rest of her hair. But for some reason, her roots still turned out red despite the fact that ALL of her hair is virgin hair.
 
Could the fish oil have altered the results of the dye on her hair? I did research and found that fish oil promotes healthier hair and skin, but did not find any information about fish oil affecting hair coloring.
 
Does anyone have any info about this? Thanks so much.
