wayneone Posted May 11, 2006 Report Share Posted May 11, 2006 Right my current plan is to turn my shaggy mop all black at first, with blue tips on my fringe...Now becuase i have quite dark hair ive been told i have to bleach the parts i want blue first, Now talking to someone today they told me that if i bleach my hair and then blue it in the same day it will turn GREEN!So can anyone give any advice?Im not bleaching it as such im gonna dye it blonde, dont know if that makes a difference it might be the same deal.Lets hear it lads...

Tomm Posted May 11, 2006 Report Share Posted May 11, 2006 Dying it blonde = bleaching it. I did it to my hair once, it basically destroys your hair so all the colour oozes out or something. Makes you hair feel horrible anyway. I think what you'll have to do, is:1) Dye it all black2) Bleach the tips (I'm not sure how to do that accurately enough - Maybe do it like they do at the hair dressers with a funky array of tin foil?)3) Wait for a few days to get rid of the bleach in your hair. If there is any left in your hair, when you use the blue dye it'll all go green. Even after rinsing my hair for about 10 minutes after bleaching it, I still bleached the towel I used to dry my hair with 4) Dye everything blue - It'll only show up on the bleached bits.This has the potential to go VERY wrong. I would probably leave it to the professionals, or just dye it all black or something easy (and cheap). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wayneone Posted May 11, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2006 Yes it is quite a challenge, But i think we can manage it... Anyway thanks for your advice i will leave it a few days before i to the blue bits.Im guessing we will just put the bleach/dye in the fringe area and not anyplace else after all it cant bleach what it cant touch.

onzatprodude Posted May 11, 2006 Report Share Posted May 11, 2006 itll be better if youve got no die on your hair? because blue will show up more....but the best thing to do is bleech the tips of your hair let the excess die come out then in a couple of days but the blue on, it will be blue and will show up better than the other way... but if you put bleech on black hair itl go more ginger than blounde but still works the same Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MasterOfGussets Posted May 11, 2006 Report Share Posted May 11, 2006 If you bleach the tips first it'll turn green. My friend tried bleaching first despite her mum advising not to (her mum is a hair dresser).You can buy kits that are supposed to used to dye hair black with "cosmic blue" streaks. I would find one of them and use the blue to frost the tips. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
