-Hair Help!-

thealmightybookwyrm asked: So, I've decided to get hair feathers finally. The problem is, I'm not sure how many to get, or what colors, or where in my hair. I have wavy/curly hair, longest bits go to about the bottom of my shoulder blades. It's a medium-dark brown with some honey blonde streaks that I'm growing out. I also have hazel eyes, if that has any bearing on your opinion. So, what do you think I should get?

Hello! I am sorry to say, I put my hands up, I know nothing about hair feathers, and don’t have the time to research them right now!

 I think with wavy hair you’re going to have troubles because they lie so flat like extensions, but are not style-able as far as I am aware.

 Make sure you get cruelty free or synthetic feathers, I know you can get them at Doctored Locks.

With your hair and eyes I would stay in the brown and beige tones for feathers for a nice subtle look, and for something a little more striking, try flecks of green.

Much love. Sorry I couldnt help more.

imjustmarshallmathers asked: I have dark brown hair and want to dye it red, will I have to bleach it?

Depends.

 I need more info! If you want dark deep red hair, no, just use a box dye. If you want bright red? You could use majicontrast and a 30 vol developer so you wouldnt have to bleach, or you could bleach and use a red vegetable dye.

jackonfir3 asked: I recently went from having bright red hair for years to deep purple violet hair. I have super pale skin so choosing the right lip, cheek & eye colors has always been kinda difficult, I had to stick to natural earth tones in order to not look like a clown. Now that I have purple hair, most of my old makeup just looks wrong. What colors of eye shadow & lip stick do you recommend matches best with pale skin & dark violet hair?

Hi honey, great question.

 Its hard to say without knowing your style and things. Personally, I am very pale. I tend to match my lip colour to my hair colour, so maybe try some purple toned lipsticks. You don’t have to go completely cadburys purple, but try mauve and soft purple shades, or tints.

 I have bright red hair though and tend to use earth tones, but today I used orange and yellow and it was fine, so maybe thats just personal taste.

Eye wise, black and white are always good! Earth tones should look ok on your eyes, but if you’re having issues, again lean towards purple tinted tones, or try close colours like deep blues and light pinks.

Its really going to be experimentation.

jewel-eee asked: quick question! I wanna dye my hair pastel pink, but just wondering do you need white hair for it, or would a blonde do? I have blonde hair atm and its light enough, I've been toning it with "touch of silver" so it's not yellowy. Just wondering would I have to bleach it again for the pink to take?

Hi honey, sorry it took so long.
 If you want pastel pink hair, you’ll need a very light base. You can always do a test dye on a small piece of hair to see the outcome, then if you feel you need to bleach, you can.

The lighter the better with pastel colours, but if you can save another bleaching, thats the best.

bl0wy0urself asked: ahh okay thank you ^^ also can i quickly ask is there anything i can do for the amount of split ends my hair has?! its not even hair! its a mess i get it cut like every 6-8 weeks but they never get rid of them all and i want my hair to stay long and grow long

Cutting it often is great, so you’re on the right track. Use a good strong conditioner to help reduce the appearance of split ends. Make sure you use heat little and always use a protectant spray. Don’t brush your hair when its wet. Get some argan oil :)

bl0wy0urself asked: I wash my hair like everyday! and its been getting really greasy really quickly! is there anything i can put on it now? just so it doesnt get so bad so fast?

Ok!

 Don’t wash it every day! This is really bad for your hair!
Washing your locks every days strips away all the natural oils that help keep your hair healthy, and your scalp is now over compensating by producing alot of oil!

 In the inbetween days you can use a dry shampoo which is a very fine powder you spray and brush through, which then absorbs any excess oil.

 If you dont have any dry shampoo, you can use talcum/baby powder until you get some, be gentle as with talc you’ll get white hair if you use too much! Just sprinkle a little onto your brush and brush through.

Oh yeah! Also, try only conditioning the ends of your hair for a week or so, and see if this makes a difference :)

toomanymeeses asked: So I have Murdered my hair by dyeing it pink. I had to bleach it 4 times, and now it hates me. any good product that will bring my hair back to life?

Hello :)

 Best to click tutorials and take a look at my white hair guide for more in depth answers, but you’ll need a protein treatment and coconut oil, as well as argan oil if you can afford it.

gingersgetmewonky asked: i have natural light brunette hair that has natural golden brown highlights but in october i died my hair bleach blonde. then i realized i wanted brown hair again, so i died it a medium shade of brown. but it faded and let the blonde show underneath so my hairs a weird light brown/orangey/blonde, its pretty nasty. i want to dye my hair brown again but i dont want it to fade. and i cant dye my hair every few months, im only thirteen. heeelp ):

Firstly, I am not sure if you bleached your hair blonde, or you dyed it a light blonde colour using a box dye with a lifting agent?

You could probably use a purple toner to even out the colour and get rid of the orange tones.

The best bet is always to pop along to a hair dresser and ask them to help you!

 You need to use a brown permenant dye, something in a range not designed for fashion colours, so don’t use live XXL or something :) brown shades aimed at older ladies, things like garnier nutriese will or ferria will be better at sticking I think.

If you did use a permenant dye, I am not sure why its faded quite so much so quickly, unless your hair is a little frazzled from the lightening and is having trouble keeping colour.

 Most dyes fade though, its just one of those things unfortunately.

 Make sure to use colour safe shampoos. Loreal also do a colour boosting tube, which has a deep brunette brown colour to help boost your dye after lots of washes.

 Likewise you can buy shampoo specifically for those with dyed brown hair that helps boost the pigments.

t-ittie-s asked: I watched your Adore creative dye video, and first off, you're quite lovely. And I have a question. I just bought Aquamarine Adore product, and I was planning to bleach my bottom layer before applying the dye. My hair is black, and I want really want that noticeable blue color. Do you recommend me bleaching it first? I was just wondering how vibrant this product gets on on dark hair. Sorry if this is such a dumb question! I've dyed my hair many times but never bleached it.

Hi there :)

 The pigment is very strong, but its still a veg dye, so you will need to bleach first. These dyes are designed for darker, course hair, and as such are (as I said) strong! This is great because you’ll only need to bleach to an orange-y colour.

If you put it on dark hair, it’ll give a sheen, but nothing more.
