Can you dye your hair at home after getting your hair highlighted professionally?

Q. For about two and a half years straight, I've gotten my hair highlighted blonde all over at a salon. Lately, I've been trying to save some money, and it would help a lot if I could dye my hair at home. The catch is, I want to go back to my natural color--a medium brown color. Is it safe for me to try and do this myself, or should I get a professional to do it?

A. If you want your EXACT natural color back, go to a salon so they can strip your hair and get it back to it's original base. If you have a pretty close idea of the natural color, then you should have no problem doing it at home. Go for a more expensive brand (like that new Natural Match dye, or even Herbal Essense)... just make sure it doesn't contain ammonia which can fry your hair.. depending how long your hair is, you may want to use 2 boxes to ensure that you covered all of it.. it's also good to have a friend help you to make sure you cover all your roots and underneath.

Just make sure you don't dye your own hair at home too soon after you've had it done professionally. Give your hair at least 3-4 weeks break before dying again, to once again, avoid frying your hair.


How do you dye your hair at home?
Q. I want to dye my hair at home bu last time it faded (dyed it darker). This time I want to dye it lighter (in some places) and darker in others. SO what dye should I use?

A. Hopefully you know what you're doing, haha. Don't buy box dye; it fades quickly and can actually get very expensive. Go to Sally's or a local beauty store and buy the dye and the mix. Ask the clerk for help; hopefully she will know what she's talking about. To go lighter, you will have to buy bleach. Also, in order to get some areas darker than others, you will need to foil your hair because the dark may leak into the bleach or the bleach will leak into the dark. You will also need to get a dye applicator brush, a plastic bowl, a dye applicator bottle, and a few pairs of latex/non-latex gloves.

Unless you have done this before, I actually suggest going to a salon.


How to dye my hair at home?
Q. I need a hairstylist or someone who dyes their hair at home a lot to help me.

I know to just follow the directions on the box but I'd like some extra tips.

My friends sister turned into a b*tch and won't do it for me anymore. She had some good tools and now she's "charging."

Sooo any tips? THanks tons!<33

A. Just do what it says on the box and you will be fine. It is not hard at all.


How do i dye my hair at home for the first time?
Q. i want to dye my hair. but not all of it. JUST the bottom.
my plan was: to get a haircut the week before getting layers and then dye my hair at home because i found out getting that done at a salon is pricey- for me. i have black hair/VERY dark brown. and its fairly long.. what do you think is the best hair dye and how do i dye JUST the BOTTOM part?

A. Only dye the bottom. its not hard at all. And if you get a hair cut, take the cut hair home and try the dye on that hair first. That way you will see how the dye looks on your hair.
