I just have a question, someone told me that if you colour your hair too often it just makes it more pourous thus causeing the colour to fade faster is this true?  The reason I ask is I've been dying my hair red myself at home and when I get roots it looks ridiculous and if thats not enough my hair grows crazy fast and in a month I have one inch roots.

Yes, overprocessing will cause the color to fade more quickly or not take at all.

There's your problem. You're not supposed to dye your hair more than once. After the first time you color, you're only supposed to be touching up the roots, which will prevent damage to your already-colored hair.


Just looking for a few good hair slaves - is that too much to ask?

Ugh! I have that same EXACT problem, so i have to keep retouching the roots as often as i find time, since it grows like crazy. I mean i dye it red too and i have horrid black roots growing in!!! Altho, u can refresh the rest of ur hair w/ a semi or demi-permanent hair color.
