Questions about dying my hair?

I've been thinking about dying my hair. I want my hair to be a dark brown with some purple. I don't know how I want the purple in my hair. I was thinking about dark brown on top with purple on the hair closer to my neck, but I'm not sure. I don't want stripes; I want something more subtle. Also, I was wondering whether or not I should have the sections I want purple dyed first before dark brown. A freind of mine said she had to bleach her hair before dying pink. Would that be the same with purple, since purple is a darker color, or could I dye the purple over the dark brown? I'm concerned about hair damage, and don't want to do something that could seriously harm my hair. Also, I was wondering of I should have it done professionally, which would probably be expensive (I'm short on cash), or have it done by my friend. She is experienced in dying hair, especially in funky colors/designs and might do it for free. What's your opinion?

I just did my hair exactly like that! I have dark brown hair with some bleached streaks on top and purple on the bottom. I sectioned my hair by going from ear to ear and pinning the top up and put conditioner on it so it doesn't accidently get any color on it. I used 'n tense purple by 'n rage that I got from Sally's. It bleaches and colors in one step and it only toook like 15 minutes. Whatever you do don't dye what you want purple with the brown first that is just adding an extra processing that your hair doesn't need. You can go to a professional, I did once and got blonde, brown and purple chunky streaks and it cost me $200.



Bleach always damages your hair but it depends on what state your hair is in now. If it's healthy it won't matter much. The purple will fade fast (all unnatural colors do) so after it starts to fade I use manic panic on it instead of rebleaching with the 'n tense purple. There is no need to rebleach until you have roots that need to be done. You will probably have to reapply the purple every few weeks.



Hope I helped, you can email me if you have any more questions!

Save your money and go to a professional! I would NEVER allow anyone else to do that! Bleaching does damage to the hair no matter what, but doing it wrong, can cause a disaster.

Personally I don't think that purple is a subtle color. Secondly, regardless of who does it coloring your hair, especially bleaching it first is and will damage your hair.
