Fading Dark Hair Colors
by Melodie
I'm have naturally dark brown hair and have been bleaching my hair for 6 months. Six weeks after my last bleaching I dyed it red then 4 weeks later black. It's been a week and I want to dye it black one more time because it's fading. Is this ok? Thanks. *********** Well, I am sure you've recolored your hair by now, but here's the thing you should know. Dark hair colors have extremely small, dense hair color molecules. If you've been bleaching your hair without deep conditioning along the way, your hair has porosity issues. Porous hair cannot hold hair color and dark hair colors have a lot of color in them that should be absorbed into your hair cuticle for the color to last. You might also opt to use a semi permanent hair color from time to time for fading color. These will wash out but they are less stressful to your hair over time. Hair color glazes also work well for over-processed hair. Deep conditioning your hair often and not using bleach as often will help your hair look healthy and natural. |
