So I want to dye my hair but im not sure which way I want it.
I'm ready for change and I want to change my appearance. I'm dying my hair, new aesthetic, colored contacts, new wardrobe. I'm leaning more towards harder to go back. I've really grown to like one and three as well.

I like 2 the best, it has some interesting style choices and I think it would be the most unique choice
Alright now yall got me leaning toward 2

2, upkeep would probably be the easiest because of layers and such. Plus roots lighten the easiest so you'll get a brighter red easier.
Imma have to vote for 1 its giving me harley quinn vibes
haha now I can't do it. Mom said no.

dang. Was there a reason or does she just dislike colored hair?

She said she just doesnt like it. Said red looked cheap and kinda hinted toward (skanky). Oh well. She wont even let me dye it black. But she let me get highlights two years ago. Idk.

Oof…
My mom tried to convince me not to dye my hair bright red (but yknow, the whole "I'm an adult and I also already bought the dye" took precedence over her protests.)
But maybe there's a compromise? A more neutral shade (like a burgundy or dark red), a different dye pattern (like just the ends, which you can cut if you come to hate it- basically it's easier to change back). Idk, something like that. You might not be able to make as much of a major change to your hair as you want right now, but there's still definitely ways you can get a hint of the look you want and still get approval from your mom.

Also what's your natural hair color?
dark brown. Yeah I know she said she'd let me get red high lights but I said no. I'm just going thru a major change in life and I kinda wanted to change my appearance. not be the boring dark brown haired girl. I think she just hates the colors that I chose because she let me get caramel highlights, my choice, she wanted more blondish. Oh well. I guess I can all ways wait to do it once im 18. Kinda sucks to wait that long though.
GUYS!!!! SHES LETTING MY DYE IT #3!!!! ATLEAST I GET MY RED!!!!!!!!!!!! its happening this weekend. shes going to dye it for me. CANT WAIT!
group
congrats! I hope it turns out well!

Oooh nice!
I'm redyeing my ends red as well lol. Did it back in June, and it's faded to like this rose gold, which is nice, but not my cup of tea. Just gotta ask my mom to grab my hair dye that I accidentally left at home~
Thanks guys, although my dad said I could do whatever I wanted but my mom is completely against that idea so at least I get part of what I want. I feel like a rose gold look would be hard to pull off. Like idk how to like style that. Good luck Bec!
group
Thanks! Should be easy enough since I'm just refreshing the old dye job. Can't wait for the bright red again haha.
What brand of dye are you using?
Loreal hicolor or sum like that. Mom doesnt want to get too crazy with it even though I offered to pay for it. Just glad I dont have to pay a thousand bucks to get the underlayer colored though. So I'll take what I can get.
group
Ah, I just checked it out. That's a nice red! And I think Loreal is supposed to be pretty good, but I've only ever used Splat and Manic Panic, so idk much about it.
yeah, its nice because it has bleach in it so I dont have buy bleach for my hair. One more process I dont have to deal with.
group
Oh shoot, yeah. Developer is always a good way to go. Bleaching my hair was a Time. It's kinda scary ngl.
Yeah, its recommended to get a 30 developer for it. praying that it looks good, if not i have no idea of what I'll do.

Bec, if you can, I am begging you to try Arctic Fox. I have heard so many good things about it. Also I have a personal vendetta against both of those brands lmao
group
I was actually considering using Arctic fox last time. Literally my only issue is that they have less color range, but I have heard good things otherwise.
Splat sucks, but I tried their "for dark hair" red my first time ever dyeing my hair so I wouldn't have to lighten. Barely did everything, and they dye was very messy and liquidy. Some people do use it because it's cheaper, but for a few dollars more you can get better dye.
Manic panic has soooo many colors and it's cream dye. Plus their bleach is good quality. Not sure what issues there are with it, since I've only used it once and that went well. I'm using it again because I still have half a jar left, but we'll see what I want to do the time after that. Might switch from red to like purple or blue, but who knows
Okay when I used Manic Panic it faded before the first watch. Thats why I hate it.
I have heard that about Arctic Fox. I also heard that their purple isn't even a good purple. Which is why I'm hesitant to try them because purple dye is one of my favorites. But maybe I'll try their pink or blue or something. Though I think I'm done with blue dye for a while lol
group
Oh weird, mine lasted a good while. Dyed is back in June, and it was reddish until September. Not sure what happened there.
And that's fair. I looked at their purples and purple rain is pretty, but the lavender one, periwinkle, and the more pinkish purple aren't really my style at all. And they don't have the shade of blue I'd want. But "wrath" is pretty close to the red I've been using.
