Hello all! I am new here and hoping to get some advice about hair color and protein filler. I have long hair, fairly thick, layered, natural color dark blonde. A few years ago, I noticed that my hair was turning a "yellowy" color, especially the longer parts.
I thought I was doing the right thing by using a home hair color to darken my hair, but it seems that the results never lasted long. I just found out about protein filler and how it can help when coloring. From what I read, I am guessing my hair is too porus and that's why the color fades so fast.
Here is the question--the directions for the filler say to put it into damp hair, don't rinse, and color as usual. BUT, the hair color says to apply to DRY hair. So, should I wait until my hair dries after the filler, or color while my hair is still damp?
 So confused--any help is appreciated! |

| DON'T PUT PROTEIN ON UR HAIR. u are not takin and kertain (Portein) of ur hair when u color it. only when u decolorzing it(bleach/lightening) what u need in a purple toner to get rid of the yellow or get a purple shampoo made to take unwanted yellow tones of the the hair. to much protein in the hair is a bad thing and can hurt ur hair. |

| YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO ADD THE PROTEIN FILLER TO THE HAIRDYE! YOU ONLY DO THE PROTEIN FILLER ON WET HAIR WHEN COLOR CORRECTING. I WOULD ADD ABOUT ONE TO TWO OUNCES OF THE PROTEIN FILLER IN WITH THE DYE. AND IT DOES MAKE A WONDERFUL DIFFERENCE. HAIR WILL BE SOFTER,SHINIER.YOU CAN ALSO USE IT IF THE COLOR FADES IN BETWEEN DYEING .IT IS A HAIR COLORING LIFESAVER AND SHOULD BE SOLD WITH ALL HAIR DYES!!! |
