When was the last time you saw your natural hair colour??

My hair is naturally a golden light brown, I think!! I haven't had my natural colour since I was about 14, and I turn 30 in May!! I start to grow it out, then I go right back and dye it dark brown again. This last time I dyed it, I chose a dye that turned my hair black. I hate looking in the mirror at my hair, it's just too dark. kick myself for doing it, but I go right back and do it again, and I think it's coz i just dont have the patience for the whole "growing out" procedure.

I often think about just shaving my head, and starting fresh but I know I don't have the guts to do it. How can I go back to my natural colour without doing something drastic?

When was the last time you saw your natural hair colour??

TODAY :]

never dyed it, stayin natural

When was the last time you saw your natural hair colour??

7th grade was the last time I saw my natural color. You should try Color Oops!. Buy it at Walgreens. It got rid of all the black in my hair. It might not restore your color completely since you've been dying it so long, but it will help.

When was the last time you saw your natural hair colour??

instead of dying it dark next time try dying it back to a color close to your natural color, if you aren't sure let a little roots show then show them to your hairdresser so she can dye it close. this way when you're natural hair grows out you won't have obvious roots to drive you nuts.

you could also try a dye remover like "color oops"

When was the last time you saw your natural hair colour??

let it fade..

i dyed mine strawberry blonde a couple years ago and within a few months it faded to my natural color.

When was the last time you saw your natural hair colour??

10 years ago :(

When was the last time you saw your natural hair colour??

My hair's been my natural color for the past 3 years.

When I decided to stop dying it, I just let it go through the ugly two-toned phase and kept getting haircuts until all the dyed hair was gone. It sounds terrible, but I didn't have a problem with it.

I've also shaved my head before, and honestly, it's not that bad. You should do it!

When was the last time you saw your natural hair colour??

I have never dyed my hair permanently. Have dyed it pink, blue and purple a few times, but only temp.

If you are thinking of shaving your head, now is a great time. "The Worlds Greatest Shave" is coming up. You could help a lot of people by fundraising and donating to charity :)

When was the last time you saw your natural hair colour??

the best thing you can do is wait until you have a little bit of outgrowth and go to a hairstylist and see if they can remove the color. Here's an example of what can be be done, but everyone's experience is different. My cousin has a natural light golden brown hair color. I colored it darker to a dark auburn brown. The next month she wanted to go back to light so I had 2 options. One was to use an oxidative color remover and see how much of the color would come off and hope there wasn't anything scary under there or number two was to highlight her hair and let it grow out a little more. I highlighted it which hid the outgrowth a little and she was able to let it grow back to natural.

Neeed help with transitioning from relaxers to natural hair?

wat is the best way to do this? i need to get my hair healthy again becuz relaxer don't work on it anymore, but my hair is very short and gets hard to comb when it is natural. i do moisturize it, but are there any styling tips so my hair will be easier to comb and style?

Neeed help with transitioning from relaxers to natural hair?

While you are transtioning, I would suggest to style your hair in the style you want it in before it dries after a wash. You can use rollers if its long enough for that. If it's not, then as it grows you can put it in ponytails to dry or the rollers.

I am not sure what you moisturize with, but most products made for AA women are not even moisturizers. Like oils. They only seal in moisture. I know some women transitioned using scurl activator to help them be able to comb it better. (I used liquid hair mayo by africa's best which I think led to my not having much breakage) Always use the widest tooth comb you can find. And maybe experimenting with the no poo method. Meaning don't wash with shampoo. Conditioner can work just fine. (yes it's true) if you still are not so sure about it, add some lemon juice to it or use vo5 clarifying conditoner kiwi and lime. Shampoo tends to strip the hair. Leading you to continually have to fight the battle of dry hair.

there are also some great websites to help you:

motowngirl.com

nappturality.com

both have advice about what I have wrote about.

Neeed help with transitioning from relaxers to natural hair?

Well I will assume you have curly hair if you are using relaxers

first keep conditioning it if you have any beer around pour that on it and leave it do not wash it out the hops and wheat in beer is great for your hair and also put a leave in conditioner every day. there is also this spray you get to help the curl spray it on it is like anti frizz spray and just scrunch your hair with your hand after do not blow dry it ever.. It will be better than you know it in no time.. I was born with straight hair had a hospital stay and then came out with curly it took me a while to get used to it but them are the tricks I have found work. if you can help it do not wash it every day the number 1 problem with curly hair for some reason has less oil than other hair washing it strips the hair.. if you can go without washing and the same day pour the beer on even better.. Also if you put on a conditioner that you wash out put it on at night and comb it in and wash it out the next day hope this helps

Dude, just dye it. Seriously. Yeah, dying your hair can damage it, but I've been dying mine every 3-4 weeks for months now and it hasn't fallen out or anything. If you're really worried, you can ask a hair professional what you can do to keep your hair healthy, but dying your hair really isn't a big deal. I hated my natural color, too; I'm so much happier now that my hair is a color I like.

I know dying your hair is bad for it.......but what if I really hate my natural hair color?Then can I dye it??

It depends on what color you want in your hair. If your hair is really dark and you want it lighter, ask a hair stylist on what shades would work for your skin tone.

I've been dying it for years, and it still looks fine. I use L'Oreal Preference, and the conditioner it comes with actually leaves it softer after wards. Just use a shampoo and conditioner designed for dyed hair, it it will stay in good shape.

Should I have long natural hair or a hairstyle..?

I look like I'm 13, but I'm 16. I didn't really get any help on my last question...at all. Just anyone, tell me if you think long natural hair will make me look younger, or if a style will make me look how I should..? if that makes sense..no, didn't think so..oh well

Should I have long natural hair or a hairstyle..?

Longer hair is associated with being young... that is why a lot of people keep their hair that way... so yes a shorter or more styled hair cut will make you appear older ...but make sure you like it. hope this is of more help..

Should I have long natural hair or a hairstyle..?

cant tell because i cant see a pic of u

Should I have long natural hair or a hairstyle..?

It depends on if you think long hair makes you look good. But i would go with a style. My friend got her hair cut in a style and it makes her look older than she is. I would suggest getting like a magazine or something with many different hair styles and pick one that you like, or pick two, and modify one with the other.

Should I have long natural hair or a hairstyle..?

Firstly, from what i've heard from a lot of guys (and comments on my own VERY long hair)... (I'm 18, btw) guys LOVE long long hair that is neat. So I really hope that you do keep your hair long! Secondly, if it's not already, you may want to highlight your hair - which will definitely make you look that much more older. My hair is a brownish sort of color, and I use Garnier Nutrisse Nourishing Multi-Lights in Lightest Auburn to highlight it. It looks AWESOME! Thirdly, I don't know how often you put your hair up and all, but do you still use those little clippies and all that plastic junk for your hair? They make you look younger, too - so make sure you don't use 'em. Also, if you are putting your hair up, pull it all back tight, and don't have sweeping hairs at the front. Everyone says I look like i'm at least 20 when I do that. Then lastly, it's pretty much ALL in the makeup! HOLY CRAP! I see all these middle schoolers running around lookin' like they can get in the club! They look like they're at least 18!!! And they've all got quite a bit of makeup on, which makes it misleading. So i dunno if you use makeup or not, but if you should try using a black liquid liner in black to try and get the "Angelina Jolie" eyes... just remember, thin near the inner corner of your eyes, and thicker near the outer edge - and extend the liner a little further at the outer corner. (Go have a look at some of Angelina's pics with liquid liner - they look awesome!) And if you screw up - don't worry - wet a q-tip, smoosh it, and fix up your mistakes! Put some mascara on top and a weeee little bit on the bottom (no bottom liner!!!), and opt for NATURALS as far as eyeshadow - browns, beige, and the works. Light shimmery color near the eyebrow, medium color on the lid, and darkest at the crease! You can't go wrong!!! Have fun and hope this helps! (Oh, and it also could be the way you dress... dunno... but dress a little sexier, but not slutty!!!)

Goodluck!

Should I have long natural hair or a hairstyle..?

I think you should keep your long hair but get tons of layers in it of all lengths! That would help you look 16. Something else that may help is maybe updating your style. You may have a perfectly good style but I don't know you, but that may be something that will help! Hope this helps!!!

Should I have long natural hair or a hairstyle..?

Long, natural hair is simply beautiful. It is easy to take care of, easy to style and let's face it. The guys love long hair.

You can get variety and style by doing different braids and pretty updos.

If you cut a bunch of layers you will just have to grow them out and layers are a pain when you are trying to do braids and updos. Keep it simple.

African American/Black people and natural hair styles?

What is your response to natural hairstyles (i.e. dreadlocks, afros, etc)? Has anyone treated you different from when you had a relaxer to you now having a natural hair style?

African American/Black people and natural hair styles?

I think that natural hairstyles are beautiful on our brothers and sisters. I have gone back and forth over the idea of going natural...(which is so much healthier for our hair, in my opinion), but get this: Its always another sister or brother who belittles the natural hairstyle. When I did wear braids, our other brothers and sisters thought it was SO pretty, but if i bring up the subject of loc's, then brothers and sisters go "Braids are okay sometimes, but locs are so permanant....and besides, it just doesn't Look well-kempt"

Personally, I think that we have gotten so caught up in what society and the fashion industry deems "beautiful", that we try to conform to their idea of beauty instead of what makes us beautiful.

African American/Black people and natural hair styles?

People have treated me different since I went natural about 2 yrs ago. For me my natural hair is who, I Am! it grows out this way and why should I constantly have to slap a perm on this to fit in with the world. I DON'T! and I'M NOT! Report It

African American/Black people and natural hair styles?

Im a black male with dreadlocks, 6'2" 250. I get respect and i give respect!

African American/Black people and natural hair styles?

I had just recently had the relaxer that was in my hair removed. I think people havent judged me from my hair which is naturally soft and straight anyways. I think as long as your hair is presentable and decent looking you will not get eyebrows

African American/Black people and natural hair styles?

I think that natural hairstyles belong to my people and I love them. I'm about to get my hair done in dreads right now. I think they're authentic and pure to the African culture. I've never got treaten differently because of my hair.

African American/Black people and natural hair styles?

I am gonna have natural hair soon because I am growing my hair out so I haven't had much reaction yet. However I LOVE natural hair. It is so Unique and Versatile. Also it reminds me that there are some people that love their natural selves.

:o)

African American/Black people and natural hair styles?

I love them, matter of fact I'm working on it and for Trini-Haitian, what do you mean that your hair is longer than African Americans?

African American/Black people and natural hair styles?

Some of the people who responded to me oddly and disapprovingly where other Black people. Perhaps it was scary and too bold of a statement, and one which they could not undertake, to embrace one's natural beauty and "return to your roots" so to speak.

I have locs and find them much easier to maintain than my days of "frying, dyeing and laying it to the side."

African American/Black people and natural hair styles?

Yes since i took out my perm and turned it natural people has treated me different. I work with white people so in my industry of work this was really weird for me to do. But they know i work well so they have nothing to say. But the most of the people thought i looked better with natural hair.

African American/Black people and natural hair styles?

I like the natural look. My dad used to have dreadlocks. I used to have mine in braids when I was younger but now I don't have time for that. So I got a mild relaxer just because of time issues. When I got my relaxer for the first time people were like "is that real" because I'm half Indian and Haitian and my hair is longer then an African Americans hair.

I mean that my hair is longer than an African Americans because I'm halif Indian. Most African Americans that I see have shorter hair than me.

P.S. For the person above me dreads is more of a Caribbean hairstyle not African. Most Africans have Afros or braids not dreads.

Who can i get straight looking natural hair when i have really curly hair.?

i have really curly, frizzy hair, so i tend to straighten it alot. at times it does look natural. and split ends. and i still want to kepp my hair healthy.

Who can i get straight looking natural hair when i have really curly hair.?

have you tried a chemical straightener? Ask your hair dresser.

Who can i get straight looking natural hair when i have really curly hair.?

try rebonding :)

Who can i get straight looking natural hair when i have really curly hair.?

It depends on if you want a permanent solution or if you want to be able to wear it curly on occassion. For a permanent solution, definately go to a professional stylist for a chemical straightening. Be aware that you can damage your hair this way, and you will have to invest in the upkeep of visiting the stylist on a regular basis.

For a more flexible solution, I recommend a Chi Iron. I'm a curly girl and all my curly friends swear by them. I haven't used it myself, because I love ... no, worship, my curly locks! Although I color my hair, I wouldn't dare try to straighten my curls!

If you are having trouble with frizz, as most of we curly girls do, try different products. Stay away from anything with alcohol or harsh detergents. Use moisturizing shampoos and conditioners. If you have thick hair, use an anti-frizz serum, and if it's thin, use a leave-in conditioner. Also, gel made without alcohol gives good hold and volume. A finishing spray will lock in the curl %26amp; moisture. Look for one without alcohol to avoid the "crispies".

I use gentle shampoo and a deep conditioner (Pantene). Then I use an inexpensive non-alcohol gel and a curl revitalizer spray. Hope that helped!

Who can i get straight looking natural hair when i have really curly hair.?

Unless you want your hair permanently straight or you want to risk breakage, I wouldn't recommend a relaxer. A great way to temporarily straighted your hair would be to use products that smooth out fizzes such as frizz Ez or Citra shine. After applying one of these products, you could use a flat iron to loosen the curl. Be careful not to over use the iron because too much heat could damage you hair. Thermasilk products are also good to protect hair from heat.

If I dye my hair black, Can it fade to my Natural Color?

Ok, I am growing my hair out. Its about a dark brown. Last time I had about 4 inches of roots grown out and I went to the Salon and told her to not touch my roots and dye the lighter already died hair. Now I have about twice as much roots and want to dye it again. I'm really scared she will dye my natural hair. If she touches my roots will the color fade out? Also, you know how when you dye hair and it gets light and fades. Will it also do that even though she died it darken then it was will it get lighten then it was to begin with?

If I dye my hair black, Can it fade to my Natural Color?

The black will not fade out if it is permanent, so you can try a semi-permanent dye instead. The black will leave a stain if you use a semi-permanent. My advice is just don't even dye it darker because it is so hard to get out. Try a reddish dark brown for the fall season.

Also, only semi colors and permanent red colors wash out and lighten. Permanent means its in there to stay. The stylist probably used a semi dye because they are less damaging. That's why it lightened.

If I dye my hair black, Can it fade to my Natural Color?

I'm pretty sure your roots will turn brown,

If I dye my hair black, Can it fade to my Natural Color?

I dont believe so...you may want to tint it...they say the sun works great for lightening treatments, you may also want to wait until it grows back out for your natural color.

If I dye my hair black, Can it fade to my Natural Color?

aren't u supposed to bleach it or something?

If I dye my hair black, Can it fade to my Natural Color?

i have blond hair and i died my hair black and it came back as blonde as ever... ive also died my hair brown and red nothing changed... the only reason it may appear darker is because if your still young (under like 25) you natural hair is still changeing and getting darker so the dye itself wouldnt darken your hair but it may appear darker than you remember it... ^_^ Good luck!

Straw set for transiton from relaxed to natural hair?

I am an African American female trying to make the transition from relaxed to natural hair. I haven't had a relaxer for almost a year, but I don't want to cut off my relaxed hair. So, I was wondering if a straw set would be a good idea for my hair and how do I take care of it?

Straw set for transiton from relaxed to natural hair?

Yes, a straw set is a good transition style, as is any wet set.

To take care of it, spritz with a light moisturizer and finger fluff in the morning, and wrap with a loose satin scarf or bonnet at night.

Hope this helps, Kaya

Straw set for transiton from relaxed to natural hair?

Be Ready for a lot of salon time.

OUIDAD.com is a good place to go adn find a stylist who knows how to give you an every day thing that need little to know salon maintenance.

Dying you hair loosens you curls. Just a rinse, not a real dheavy dye job. I have natural hair, but I never ever get temporary solutions. Instead I buy good products. There is a lot out there.

As stated before, a dye rinse will loosen it, after that just shampoo, condition, and moisturize moisturize moisturize. The hairl will train and your curls will look like you got a straw sit without spending all the money.

(I use OUIDAD Shampoo and Conditioner for kinky hair and Cantu shea butter leave in conditioner. The more leave in conditioner you use on WET hair, the better it looks when it dries)

Love your curly hair! It will look great with practice and patience.

Black women, how do I style my natural hair with straw curls?

I have very long, very thick natural hair. Normally, I style my hair in braids, but I decided to let my hair breathe for a while. I didn't want to wear my regular afro, so I would appreciate any tips on styling my hair this way. I know that I need straws, but what else do I need? How long can it typically take to style? If you could provide a link with how-to instructions, that'd be great. Thanks!

Black women, how do I style my natural hair with straw curls?

Straw Set Black Hairstyle

Wearing a straw set black hairstyle is a great way to eliminate the need to work on your hair daily and while it is going out to natural again. To acheive a natural black (Afro) hairstyle, you'll need: several plastic drinking straws or small perm hairstyling rods that are slightly larger for looser curls; setting lotion; and hair end tissue papers. (See instructions on product packaging for proper use of each item.)

INSTRUCTIONS

Step 1: Start by shampooing and conditioning your hair and then saturate it with a high quality hair setting lotion.

Step 2: Part you hair into 1/4 to 1/2 inch sections and place end papers on the ends of your hair.

Step 3: Roll your hair onto each straw and then secure them using hair pins.

Step 4: Repeat steps 1-3 until you have completed your entire head.

Step 5: Dry your hair under a hair dryer.

Step 6: Remove the straws and separate each curl using your fingers. For this hairstyle, only finger combing your hair is necessary, however, to insure your hair does not become dry, spray it with som oil sheen styling conditioner.

Black women, how do I style my natural hair with straw curls?

I agree with above. Just don't forget to curl your hair down the straw. Not just wrapping all of your hair around the straw...it will never dry like that.

From red tint back to natural hair color?

For last 1,5yrs I've been coloring my dull light brown/dark ash blonde hair red with l'Oreal Feria Scarlet Power (originally done in a local salon with Majirouge + added majired to boost) but now I'd like to get back to my natural color, with maybe caramel highlights. I've foiled my hair myself in the past, but never with red tint on.

I went back to the salon to get the red done again (6m ago) but the colour came off within a month :( and I didn't go back to complain as I'd been on holiday just after the application. I figured they would blame the sun for the loss of colour. Instead I've been reapplying the colour regularly but now have visible regrowth again.

I presume using a remover (Goldwell, Color Oops etc) will not lift the red, only make it lighter? And attempting highlights now would result in orange or pink highlights?

If I use a remover and all over tint with a brown tint similar to my tone (6-7) how soon can I attempt highlights?

From red tint back to natural hair color?

If you want to get rid of the red tone in your hair, dye it with ASH colors only...No naturals or golden tones, those will only make the red stand out more. It may take a couple dye jobs, but it will come out. Look at my 360 profile...I had red highlights and it took three dye jobs to get it like it is now, so i know what I'm talking about

From red tint back to natural hair color?

i went red for a few years also , its the hardest color to keep in check since it fades so fast, and i wanted to go back to my dark brown i tried dying it dark brown myself but the red came though on a two occasions so i had a pro do it where red was removed and my color restored. i would go have the salon do it and get the color you want and give your hair a break before you put lights in.

From red tint back to natural hair color?

I had red in my hair sometime ago and I will never do that again. Red is the hardest color to take out of your hair. I tried taking the red out myself at home and my hair changed the colors of the sunset. Orange, yellow, red and so on LOL I looked like I was in a movie "Cholas Gone Wild" LOL The best thing for you to do is have your hair dyed the color you want by a professional then start dying it at home yourself after that. Like I said red is the hardest color to take out so let the professionals do it as not to damage your hair in the process.

you can either wait, and wash it all the time....

or you can go to a hair salon and get the hair color "stripped" is what they call it. It takes the hair coloring out, BUT it leaves your hair very frizzy and in bad condition. I would recommend washing your hair a lot. about 3 times a day. The more you do it, the more it fades

Grow it out by dying it with non permanent colour which is close to your colour.

Keep doing this until your natural colour grows out and then you must go through the ugly duckling stage of letting the temporary colour wash out to see the real you..

Otherwise cut it short and grow it out.

There's no quick way to do this.

It works wonderfully.

How do u git ur natural hair color back?

You can die it a lighter color several times as you let it grow out until it is back to normal or you can just let it grow out and deal with the two-toned hair. Don't mess with the looks God gave you after you get it back to normal. Same thing with body piercing - I know too many people who wish they had never tried to change they way they were born. Too late if you've already done it, though.

Can you recommend a good setting lotion for natural black hair?

My hair is chemical free. When I style it the style only lasts about 6 hours on a good day unless I'm wearing braids, twists, an updo or an afro. I'd like to wear my wavy and curly styles longer so I need a setting creme or lotion to help. Anyone with natural hair or natural curly or natural kinky hair know of a good product I can use for this kind of style? I can get it STRAIGHT then wave it but you know...that style's flopped and frizzed before the end of the party! Help!

I have recently discovered (organic root stimulator) Anti-frizz Olive oil Glossing Polisher. So far so good and staying that way.

I am really thinking of going bald!

How do you transition from chemically relaxed hair to natural hair?

I went through the same transition. My hair basically fell out. I have fine hair and the person let the relaxer sit for to long. So I cut some of the ends off..and I let the perm grow out. Every 8 weeks I went to the shop to get my ends trimmed.I used nothing but natural organic products in my hair during this transition (expensive, but well worth it). My hair is at the middle of my back now, strong and healthy. It took about 2 1/12 years for this transition.

I have hi-lited hair but want my natural color back!?

i have the same problem...i died my hair red and now my roots are growing back and it looks so weird....but its not as obvious as blond though. Why not try dying ur hair back to your natural color, if its too damaged from the blonde color to get dyed i would suggest letting it grow out and using some very hydrating shampoos and conditioners to get it healthy again thats what i'm doing. If not go to your stylist and they'll be able to dye it back to your natural color and suggest some products you can use to get your hair back to a healthy state.

I have hi-lited hair but want my natural color back!?

buy a box of dye for your natural color and dye the who thing back

I have hi-lited hair but want my natural color back!?

My suggestion is to go to a salon and have a pro match your natural hair color and dye it back. The problem with box colors is that they fade fast. Especially when you put them on lightened hair. And also the color they show on the box isn't always what you get. It depends on the color of your hair and hi-lights how it will turn out.

Whatever you choose to do, Good Luck!

I have hi-lited hair but want my natural color back!?
