How do I dye my hair grey?

I'm 21 years old and my hair is almost completely black. In general, I'm completely unsatisfied with any conventional color. I want to dye all of my hair a dark grey so before I experiment with bleaches and dyes, I'm interested in suggested methods %26amp; experiences. I'm looking for the most permanent solutions %26amp; I'm not really concerned with what the condition of my hair will be as a result or my chemical endeavors, just as long as it's not falling out. And I don't mind any strange tints. There are no alternative salons where I'm located, nor do I even want to spend a ridiculous amount of money for something I can do myself. Please don't ask me why, I'm only interested in answers, not so much in opinions. Thank you!

How do I dye my hair grey?

Funny how people still give u opinions when you said you werent interested! Anyway.....in order to get any other color than black, you will have to get that out.....coloring over it will do nothing. Go to sally's or something like that and get Uncolor to lift the black. It will come out a very odd color.....but if you want unconventional....hey it might be just what you want!! You can then put color over that. Try getting some of the funky colors from hot topic!

How do I dye my hair grey?

You can't dye black hair grey. It's just not possible. You could possibly give your hair a weird greyish sheen but that's about all.

To make your hair grey you would first have to bleach it white (or a pale blond) and then use a product to make it grey. "L'oreal grey chic" should do the trick - it is not too expensive and you can get it by mail order from l'oreal.

It is tested on animals sadly though. :,鍗?

Can all hair turn grey?

I know scalp, facial, and chest hair can turn grey on a man. Can under arm, arm, back, pubic, and leg hair grey as well?

Can all hair turn grey?

The root of every strand of hair is surrounded by a tube of tissue under the skin that is called the hair follicle (say: fah-lih-kul). Each hair follicle contains a certain number of pigment cells. These pigment cells continuously produce a chemical called melanin (say: meh-luh-nin) that gives the growing shaft of hair its color of brown, blonde, red, and anything in between.

Melanin is the same stuff that makes our skin's color fair or darker. It also helps determine whether a person will burn or tan in the sun. The dark or light color of someone's hair depends on how much melanin each hair contains.

As we get older, the pigment cells in our hair follicles gradually die. When there are fewer pigment cells in a hair follicle, that strand of hair will no longer contain as much melanin and will become a more transparent color - like gray, silver, or white - as it grows. As people continue to get older, fewer pigment cells will be around to produce melanin. Eventually, the hair will look completely gray.

Should I dye my hair grey for the play?

Here's the deal.

I'm in a one-act drama competition and I'm playing an old lady. Our director wants me to dye my hair grey, and I'm actually OK w/that.

My mom isn't too fond of the idea, however. She's worried that it'll change the texture or whatever.

So my questions are...

--How long does it take for dyed hair to grow back?

--Will hair dye change the texture of my hair?

--Are there any other options besides real hair dye (preferably not a wig)?

My hair is curly and thick, if that helps you w/your answer.

Thanks mucho!

Should I dye my hair grey for the play?

Ehhh...where are you going to find gray haircolor? It's not like you are doing many performances, like on Broadway, so coloring your hair gray is pretty drastic. The gray sprays you can get for your hair around Halloween look realistic and you don't have to change the color of your hair. You can use black and white spray to create a gray color. Check out the links I included =)

P.S. I was in a play where we had to make an 8th grade girl look like a 65 year old woman

Should I dye my hair grey for the play?

You'll have to bleach your hair first to dye it grey. Yes, it will change the texture of your hair if you bleach it. It'll be damaged and course to get it light enough to be grey.

I think that's a drastic option personally. You should spend the money on a realistic looking wig. It will look a lot better and you won't have to deal with grey, orange, or blonde hair for the next 8 months of your life.

Should I dye my hair grey for the play?

They make hair dye, where you wear it for so long and after a couple washes it comes right out. Local Wal-Marts usually carries it.

Should I dye my hair grey for the play?

1.As long as it takes to grow the dyed hair COMPLETLY off and cut every bit of it off. in other words just becsuse you color it back to your original calor doesnt mean it gone.

2.It sure could chamge the texture.

3.Color hair spray

Should I dye my hair grey for the play?

No, No, No, NO! Do not dye your hair like that! a) eww, you'd seriously live with the color grey? b) if it's permanent "real" hair dye, it will only grow out, it will hardly fade a bit c) Yes, it will change your texture. You need to take extra caution with curly hair and hair dye, since it is much more sensitive. Store bought hair dye kits will seriously screw up your curls! d) I'd suggest you use some of that one night colored hair spray in white or silver if this is the look your going for, it will be easy, painless, and since your hair is black, will come out actually looking grey!

Should I dye my hair grey for the play?

There are those sprays with color. Idk if they come in gray but you can buy them at walgreens.

Believe me, go with the wig. A lot less trouble and damage.

Beige blonde hair dye turned my hair grey!!!?

My hair was a really golden blonde but i wanted to tone it down a bit so i put a permanent beige blonde all over and it looks really ashy and grey, i think it would be ok if the colour wasn't so solid, my friend is a hairdresser and wants to put bleach foils throught the top....what do youz think i should do? My hair is still in good condition and i always use intensive conditioners to stop the fried look, any similar experiences?? Thanks xx

Beige blonde hair dye turned my hair grey!!!?

have you tried a toner...

Beige blonde hair dye turned my hair grey!!!?

you will have to change your name and avatar to ashy

Beige blonde hair dye turned my hair grey!!!?

I have had experience in this and I think you should let your friend put bleach in it.

Beige blonde hair dye turned my hair grey!!!?

If you just did it, try using dish soap to wash it. Make sure and have conditioner on hand, cuz it'll be stripped!

Beige is a cool base, which means green or blue. Next time, although I do NOT advocate doing your own color!, mix that with half a bottle of the same shade in neutral. Especially in blondes, it's important to have representation of all the natural colors.

If it's too late to try to lift the color out a bit, foils are a great solution. Good luck!

Beige blonde hair dye turned my hair grey!!!?

Use a clarify shampoo.And yes let your friend put bleach foils through the top it will help break the solid color up.

Beige blonde hair dye turned my hair grey!!!?

The last poster is right about the undertones of color. You should always use a neutral base when coloring light hair....I know too late right?

If you have a Sally's Beauty Supply near you, go in and ask for Malibu treatment. It comes in a little packet. You add the crystals to hot water and pour it over your hair. Cover your hair with a shower cap or plastic wrap and leave it on for about 30-45 min.

The Malibu will pull out some of the blue tint and bring out more of the golden tones to help bring it back to a reasonable color.

This will happen naturally with many washings, but it helps to get you there quicker.

The product is inexpensive so I recommend you always keep a packet on hand in case you ever decide to try again. ;)

Beige blonde hair dye turned my hair grey!!!?

Yes indeed, she knows what she is doing.. This is the only way to get the color stripped out if it is beyond 24 hours since you did it. The developer shouldn't be anything over 20..

30 vol left in foils too long might give you some breakage.

Next time you use a color try using a toner instead of a permanent tint. Were your ends much lighter than the golden color from the roots to the middle? IF so, the tint grabbed those ends because they were just too porus.

Have your hairdresser friend do your color or reccommend one next time.. And stay away from the platinum based too unless you want to be blue. If I use beige blonde toner on my lightened hair it turns it a nice pink... NOT so nice I should say.

LoL%26gt;... good luck....

They dyed my hair grey!!!!! help?????

The problem is that you have now altered the job that they had done. If you had left it as it was, you could have sued them for damages if they refused to rectify it. You could have also gone to Trading Standards, as it is classed as a Good or Service provided to the Public. As the consumer, if you are not completely satisfied with the service or product, you have a right to have it repaired at their cost or a full refund. Its not their option. Its the Law.

Now that you have altered the Job that they had done, it is going to be harder to prove that they caused you to go grey. However it maybe possible. As different makes of dye use different chemicals to create the effect, you have now opened yourself up to the possibility of variable results with any future dye application. I have heard of some types of peroxide reacting with others and turning light Green instead of blond!

They dyed my hair grey!!!!! help?????

grey is cool if u r having white skin

They dyed my hair grey!!!!! help?????

They dyed my hair grey!!!!! help?????

You have a very good law suit on them go for it

They dyed my hair grey!!!!! help?????

This may not help but my hair has been going grey over the years and I would love a full head of grey hair. Anyway stop panicking,go back to the shop ,ask to speak to the person in charge, be polite and explain that the colour you have is not what you asked for. If they have any sense they will rectify the problem, any problems and tell them that you will stay out side the shop and tell anyone going in that this is what they have done to you. Other than that try a darker shade as a temporary measure.

They dyed my hair grey!!!!! help?????

OK i am a hairdresser you have a two options you can go back to the salon take someone with you and demand them to fix your hair or you will take further action this shouldn't have happened or you can go to another salon and ask them to fix it but you will have to pay for it don't try to fix it yourself it will only get worse i hope this helps i can tell you that everyone has at least one major hair disaster in their lives but i hope this doesn't put you off the good hairdressers in this world

They dyed my hair grey!!!!! help?????

You should go back back to them and tell them that you are really upset. Then say that you have a right to go into another hairdresser's, get your hair fixed and charge it on the company that messed your hair up!

They dyed my hair grey!!!!! help?????

They dyed my hair grey!!!!! help?????

You cant really sue a hairdressers unless they have damaged your scalp or burnt your hair off . go back and try and get the colour corrected with a differant stylist . if they have any respect they will do that . Amid blonde gold/ warm semi permanant should blend it through and take the edge off the grey . it will still have differant colours in but that will have it look better . if they wont help threaten to go to the local paper even a letter on the letters page could do the salon alot of damage so they should help you . Dont strip your hair !
