using color over color-question?

Every time you color your hair it is damaging--and it doesn`t matter how gentle the box claims the product is. Dye works by expanding the hair shaft through an alkaline high-pH substance (often ammonia.) This allows the dye to enter. If it didn`t do this, the color would never take. This process is damaging each and every time, although healthier hair can stand it much better than colored hair, which has already gone through it and is more porous and dry.

If your hair is in pretty good condition still you could color again BUT please be careful! I stupidly dyed my hair about 10 times over the course of a year, trying to achieve the perfect light brown. My hair was in decent shape until the very last time I colored it. It immediately felt like straw. Two years later the damage is mostly grown out but I`ll never forget to use extreme caution when repeatedly coloring hair. Remember, no amount of deep conditioner will EVER fix your hair. Hair is dead. Without cellular turnover, your hair cannot repair itself, and neither can protein treatments. You can only grow out and cut off damaged hair.

My advice: unless you absolutely HATE your color, don`t redye it. This damages the cuticle, plain and simple, and while your hair might be able to take it, it will inevitably cause damage that might lead to a strawlike head of hair. You could try some lighter highlights all over to get a blonder look.....just please be careful! :-)

Boxed hair colors are designed to be used on natural hair - not processed hair. Thats why you touchup the roots only. Using Feria blonde on bleached hair will result in damage hair. In other words your hair is already lightened and your adding a color that will lighten it further. Your looking for trouble.

Well that is the problem. I went the other day and she looked at my hair and said that it looked beautiful. I have now decided to ditch her. I think I have found someone who can fix my problem.
