Hi!I have very fragile fine hair that I have highlighted for about five years My stylist just suggested that I go ahead and use an all over color to blonde it out because it is a quicker process and I love my hair blonde. The problem is that I am very scared that this will be more damaging to my hair than foiling and I am very afraid of breakage. I told him maybe. He is either going to use Goldwell or Aveda to lighten it.....Is going all one color MUCH worse for hair than foiling? Please advise!!!Thanks so much,CG

CG,Providing you don't have any allergies to haircolor, your stylist is probably recommending a gentler treatment. Many times hair that is highlighted with foils is being bleached to acheive the lift. Tint is generally gentler on the hair than bleach, so although you are coloring the whole head, the chemical you are applying to the hair is less damaging. Goldwell and Aveda are excellent products for hair coloring. They are kind to the hair and contain conditioning ingredients as well. I think your stylist is giving you straight up advice. The only pitfall is that touch ups are more frequent with all over color.

Please advise!!!To CG;Cherie's answer is good advice and pretty much on target, but , remember that when dealing with 'fine,fraigle hair, that has already been high-lighted, the previously colored or bleached strands are going to get a 'double dose' of bleaching/coloring depending on which process is used. Very careful protective conditioning steps should be done prior to and, after the 'make-over' to insure that damage is held to a minimum.william> Thanks so much,> CG

Doesn't the all-over blonde color tend to look less natural than highlights?Ally

> Doesn't the all-over blonde color tend to look less> natural than highlights?> AllyAlly,CG was concerned with the condition of the hair, so I addressed that in my answer, (and by the way, I did forget to mention the conditioning aspect that william picked up on, so thanks william) But to answer your question about the natural-ness of one wasy over the other: yes a solid color sometimes looks less natural, however, tinting the whole head does not always mean the result is one solid color. For one, most people do no have just one color natural hair. There are various shades to natural hair, and the reaction of the tint on these different shades will vary, as well. That in itself will give some dimension. Some haircolors are not as translucent, so to counteract a haircolor that is too solid, another technique that could be used is to use 2-3 different shades of tint on the same head, sectioning according to the desired result. For example, one could alternate between a medium warm blonde, and a pale strawberry blonde to add dimension to the color. There are always ways to create a natural look without having to rely solely on foils and bleach.
