i have alos posted this in the extensions topic but you guys might have some ideas too...
ok, i have always coloured my own hair... black, blue pink etc.. i can do my own foils n all that jazz, but when ever i have got extensions i have had black ones so colour match is a breeze. in about a month i am getting these...
http://www.phoebeshairshop.com/html/productsview.asp?id=26&sortpath=0,121,127 - http://www.phoebeshairshop.com/html/productsview.asp?id=26&sortpath=0,121,127 ,
it is virgin hair which i havnt had before. last time i bought hair it was processed and did not last at all.
but my problem is that i dnt want black this time i was a colour like this...
 this is the actual product that i want to use.. it is just a permanent red colour..
  but i dont want it all red, i want it something like this, but instead of the pink colour.. it will be that intence red..
 im guessing it is black under the fringe , framing the face.. and then she has a blonde streak on one side...
at the moment my hair is a light brown with a few blonde bits, fairly natural but it was platnum blonde before the last colour so i have no colour buildup.. but does this mean i should use a protein filler? if so at what stage of the process?. my hair is quite layered and a style like this atm...
so i dont knw weather to just bleach all my head and the extensions to start from a clean canvas or if i can do it without killing my hair. the red isnt that light and it is a permanent colour so it doesnt need to be applied to blonde hair.. i was thinking of dyeing the extensions to a light brown similar to my own so then i know the red on the extensions and my hair will urn out the same shade... but to get the black hair to that colour i will have bleach it n it will go orange not light brown...
meh... dont know what i should do!! any suggestions? and going to the salon is not an option.. im a DIY girl.. i have no problem with dyeing my hair im just so confused as to how i should go about it!! oh yeh.. an then there is the blonde streak i have to do aswell!! argh!! lol |

You could try just try removing the color you have now and coloring the red overtop...even though it may turn orangey,the red seems like it would cover it well.And you really wouldnt need a protein filler going from orange to red.
Seems like since you already have some blonde,those pieces may turn out brighter then the light brown ones if you dont.
Sorry I cant give better advice,but I dont know much about extensions.
I like that color red though.

Can you find something called COLOR SHOTS? Comes in a can, I haven't tried it yet but I would like to. It has that INTENSE CHERRY RED and I think that would work for you. And I really really love yoru hair... I wish I could pull that off! ------------- ~* Bambi Lee *~ |

I would work from a black base, if the girl above is what you want to hav eyoru hair look like. And use extenisons which you can buy in all those colors and put those in..... Black base, PINK top and then extensions, that's all it looks like she did.... Ipersonally would dye the black as a base, but leave the top layer as the girl above did blonde (so bleach it as light as you can get it... probably do that part first... then dye the under and so forth black.. use LICORICE BLACK from Herbal essences or maybe a Feria cause feria is stronger... or use proffesional products if you can (I Can't so all my dye jobs are OTC) and then go online and buy extentions in those cool pink and platinum colors... I dunno that's what I would do. But it's easier SAID then done! RIGHT? ------------- ~* Bambi Lee *~ |
