I've been bleaching my hair for a few years now, and I've recently been dying to dye my hair red again. But, from experience, I know red doesn't last very long, especially once it's been applied to hair as light as mine. Do you have any ideas on what dyes(boxed or professional, either works) that might last a tad longer in super blonde hair? Or any tips for making it last longer, without terribly damaging my hair?
Thanks girl :)
Hmm, well, I would definitely suggest setting up an appointment at a salon, or at least talking with someone who works there to see if they have any information or advice for you. The dyes in salons are more powerful than box dyes.
BUT if you can’t afford to go to a salon, I would recommend maybe getting a deeper red color, and go with L’Oreal Feria, because that dye is amazing (you can check my post about box dyes for more info on that one!)
And before dying your hair, I would recommend not washing your hair a day or two before because color sticks to oily hair better.
Unfortunately, with bleached blonde hair, there’s always going to be fading, especially with dyeing it red. :/
