Hi, I'm Carol. I joined the boards a while back and have posted a little, but now am having some hair delimmas.
I know there is alot of knowledge that goes into hair coloring .... but to get me started in understanding some basics, is there a post or folder I can go to that is like a "glossary" for hair color?
Like ... the definitions and/or differences between
color fix
fillers
oh there's so much more I just can't think of all the terms.
How about lists of definite do's and don'ts (like, don't dye your hair lighter over previously dyed darker hair with permanent color ... if that even is true or makes sense ) ........
There is just so much to know ......... and I want to use the boards for help, but there is so much to look through and I hate to repeat questions so I am hoping there is a "hair basics" section to answer questions from "lay people" like me (those that don't speak "hair language" ).
Also, if I went to Sally's would they look at my hair and give me advice? Or do they just sell the products ... and the advice should be from perhaps the 800 number at Clairol or L'oreal (depending on which product(s) I've been using).
Thanks. Sorry if this is such a ramble. I hate to bother people with questions that have already been asked .... but I also find it impossible to look through thousands of posts to find out some basic info!
Thanks so much!!!!!!!!!
Sincerely,
unwanted red-rooted Carol

Tons of basic info in this post: http://talk.hairboutique.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=40328 - http://talk.hairboutique.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=40328 It is Claude's sticky on top of the Hair Color forum here. Color fix is a low peroxide thing that removes dye, usually leaving hair yellow or orange (whichever color the peroxide in the dye turned it to when it was dyed), at which point it can then be dyed over. Fillers - I may not know everything about them, but they are generally used before hair is dyed, especially on hair that was bleached a light blonde, to help keep the bases in the darker dyes from showing up and making a dye that you would put over lightened hair come out more true to color. Yes, DON'T dye your hair lighter over previously dark dyed hair, color won't lift color and it won't do anything but help damage your hair (I believe Claude's link explains more on that). They may give you advice on color at Sally, it just depends who is working that day if it will be good advice or not! Sometimes it is! If you want to use box color from a drugstore, calling them is a good idea, they don't write what bases are in those colors (ash could mean green, and it could mean violet...you need to know before you use it because it could be good or bad depending on what you've got...so, they are really the only ones who'll know whats in the color and be able to tell you what to use based on what you have and what you want). Don't worry about asking repeat questions, its nice if you look at the old posts to help keep people from repeating themselves, but not everyone does, so I think most of us here just don't come here on days when we don't feel like repeating ourselves! If we are here, we probably don't mind. Good luck! ------------- Making metal barettes/concord clips hair safe, long hair style how to: http://alonghair.wordpress.com |
