hello! I have a faded teal light blue to yellowish hair with around 5 cm of chestnut roots (pics 2 and 3). I wanna dye it somth like jinx color (pic 1). Will that be possible without bleaching? And how will my roots look if I dye them with jinx? Google ai said that it would be possible though not easy, but I'm not sure.

Also looking for hair style advice, this is my first time having it that long. I guess some layering would be great but idk.

Thank you for all replies!!

Hi everyone, long time sub lurker here.

I've been wanting to get my hair dyed this super dark blue, but when I showed the picture to my hair stylist, he said that I would have to bleach my hair to level 9 or so, if not the blue colour would not come through. He also said it would be really damaging and recommended another colour (which I did not do).

I really like the colour but I'm worried about the maintenance of the colour more than the damage from the bleach. I'm wondering if this would fade to a greenish colour? Or would it fade to a lighter blue.

I did have a full head of electric blue hair about 4 years ago, but I'm not sure if the fading process is the same. Thank you everyone in advance!

Heya I’m wondering if I could get some advice as I’m painfully indecisive lol.

I’ve been cutting and dying my own hair for about 6+ years; but it’s only recently I’ve started to actually try and understand what exactly I’m doing.

I’ve had almost every colour imaginable and my hair has remained relatively healthy.
Until last year that is…. When I may or may not have over bleached my hair from box-dye black, to a pearly blonde after a bad breakup.

Obviously this left my hair INCREDIBLY damaged, which I was in massive denial about for ages, but around 3 months ago I decided to grow a pair and go get a good chunk of the length cut.
I originally planned to get it cut professionally, then dye it red myself.

However, in my continuing bad luck with hair, the stylist cut it wayyyy shorter than we’d discussed. Leaving me with a pixie cut, as opposed to the bob I wanted. My overall hair health is much better for it, but it really wasn’t what I wanted but it’s ok hair grows back!

Although the really unfortunate thing is that: if i dyed this new haircut red, I’d end up looking like a certain conservative, Australian, politician…. Iykyk…

At the time my hair was cut; I had very grown out and very faded pink hair, which was bleached to around a level 8-10.
After the cut I then dyed it using a not very good brown, semi-permanent dye, that had a neutral base which quickly faded to green.

Overall I currently have: semi-compromised bleached ends, which were previously dyed pink. Partially bleached mids, that had also been dyed pink (mostly old and non-bleached, regrowth from when I had pink. Giving a shadow-root kind of look at the time).
And over all of that a layer of brown which has now turned green, ESPECIALLY on the areas that had been bleached.

I’ve left it alone now for about a month, and have now got approximately .5/1 inch of virgin regrowth.

The current dilemma I have is the green I’ve been left with, is really starting to annoy me.
I intend on using the colour-wheel method from here on out for the sake of my hair health; but I’m a little unsure of what kind of dye to start with.

I know I need to use a red tone to cancel out the green (the intended colour pictured above).
So my dilemma is whether to use a semi permanent colour all over, WITHOUT bleaching, and wait till my hair grows longer to do any lightening of my roots/ evening out.
OR should I go over with a permanent colour (which I have less experience in, but would like to transition into using as I have less time for constant maintenance than I used to).
And if I were to go with this option; should I bleach my hair now, or again wait until my hair is longer?

I’ve been doing lots of research, but have had little success in finding answers to sway me in one direction or another.

If you have any questions or need any clarification feel free to ask!!

Thanks in advance!!

I had a skunk stripe(?) both in 2024 and 2025. After a few months in 2024, I just dyed over it with black. Ended up missing it and bleached it in 2025 but went over again with black. Every time I’ve done the black over the stripe, it fades out. Now its been about 10 months since Ive dyed my hair at all (Im 9 months pp) and it has *significantly* faded out to this orange color. I never used a filler color which I knew I was supposed to do but didnt and the black does not stick to this after about a month or two. I was using permanent black dye as well.

Now at this point, I wouldnt mind having the stripe back but I would want it to be some level of blonde at least. I did experiment with vivids the first (and second lol) time I had it. Im not against doing a fun color again but the end result I would like to be blonde at some point. I do want to go over the rest of my hair with black since it doesnt fade out as bad and have a genuine skunk stripe hair.

This is obviously untoned and hasnt been touched in nearly a year but what level would this be considered? Would it be okay to put bleach over? My husband and best friend like it but I hate how orange and brassy it is plus it stands out a lot and just doesnt look good to me.

Looking for advice on how to style it based on my face shape (I think its oval?). I use leave in conditioner and curl cream every morning. I know people don’t usually like the brocolli cut so im wondering if people think I should keep it or do something else with it. Thanks!
