highlighting of hair twice

coldzero SG

Currently I’m using the Gatsby hair dye. After the first try two days back, the colour, which is supposed to be dark brown, isn’t very obvious on my hair. So I have decided to try another time with a lighter brown. May I know if this will really damage my hair badly?

Phoebie SG

sometimes the colour may not get absorb or absorb well by the hair according to different hair quality. The results may differ Smile

Phoebie SG

unless you’re using bleach to lighten your hair’s shade, and using bleach may be very damaging to your hair

Phoebie SG

and the chemicals on the hair dye’s damaging level on each person’s hair may differ

But highlighting for the second time will make the brown on my hair more obvious right?

Phoebie SG

I try before using other brand (I use blond coloured dye), the result come out brown on my already coloured hair)
so this shows my already coloured hair cannot "eat" colour well, and there's instruction of the hair dye packaging box mentioning that it may not work well on already coloured hair using the same brand I think if didn't remember wrongly

coldzero SG

Aiyoh! Like this how sia? Cause the brown on my hair really isn’t very obvious. Spoil the point of highlighting already when I’m the only one who can see it =/

Phoebie SG

maybe you can try.. but i somehow feel your hair quality is around the same as mine (which is quite difficult to absorb colours, I remember many years ago I buy blonde colour hair dye to dye my virgin hair Embarassed , and the result turn out to be dark brown on my hair)

if want 100% success, you can buy hair bleach powder and 9% or 12% cream developer, but beware of timing cause the longer you let the paste stay on your hair, the lighter it's going to become ( can become bee hoon colour if leave too long and may be very damaging to your hair)

but i don't think hair bleach powder can be found and bought easily nowadays

the last hair bleach powder I used on my hair is WELLA brand's
I somehow couldn't find it in the major chain supermarkets now

coldzero SG

Well.. My hair did manage to absorb the brown. Just that the colour itself isn’t very obvious from a certain distance. That’s why I feel like dying it even lighter so that it could be seen from a distance.

Phoebie SG

but it didn't appear like same colour as shown on the packaging box right

maybe to play a safer part, you may want to have your hair coloured in the hair salon

last year did 2 times myself over 2 days.
this year same thing but i used the ex hi bleach.

and you talked about highlighting hair, and say dye hair? it's a big difference.

my hair just feels rougher but each time i use conditioner, can advert on TV. smooth like papaya skin

Yeah bleaching of hair very damaging

tired it last year, then whole hair damn dry.

Phoebie SG

hm got another way to try also.. before applying colour dye paste on your hair, make sure to wash your hair clean, let it dry then start to apply the hair dye paste on your hair

then cover your hair with aluminium foil

anyway when apply paste try not to let the chemical paste touch your scalp

and make sure your timing do not exceed the appropriate time as instructed on the packaging box Smile

Dead_Man_Inc SG

eh eh

why wash hair clean first? that menu say don't need leh

and why cover with aluminium foil?

sorry ask so much cause i wanna dye soon also Laughing

coldzero SG

So if I were to highlight my hair again with the same brand of hair highlighter the colour on my hair will me more obvious right?

coldzero SG

Anyone who could help me?

Phoebie SG

wash hair to clean away the oil on hair Laughing

aluminium foil can heat and make the colour sort of absorb by hair more or make it even blonde if bleaching if I'm not wrong
