Im sick of my hair.. sick of seeing the same usual color everyday. Not that i dont like it or anything i just want that "oomph" if you understand what im talking about haha.. i dont want to cut it.. i dont know how to style it.. and im definitely not spending the 250 plus i usually spent to get highlights last summer each month.. any advice?
Manic panic! With red or black you won't have to bleach it and still get some of the color change. You can buy it at sally's (cheap!), do it yourself and it fades out in a few months (or faster if you want) Plus, their dyes are vegan and plant based so they don't harm your hair. It would definitely be a change of pace! http://www.manicpanic.com
Same problem here! I have long and healthy hair. Thats why I don't wanna color them(damage) but I'm so sick of my hair color... I also don't wanna cut them very much, since I love long hair.. I cut straight bangs, but I'm already bored of them.. Maybe I do ombre hair or highlights in the summer.. But that will damage it..
i wash my hair every otherday! try putting Olive Oil in ur hair and let it sit for 15min then wash normaly! make ur hair soft n with a shiny look! Also have a girls night watch others do there quick styles! Thats how i always learn! i dont want to color my hair anymore and my husband wants it long! i use Aussi moist shampoo n condishiner!
If you're looking to dye your hair, try henna. It's plant based and all natural, it doesn't harm your hair and gives it a natural tint which shines and last ages - Lush have some good ones :)
I used henna from lush after dying my light brown hair blonde two different times two different blondes and used the henna because i got bored of the blonde and it ended up being roots two blondes and orange. So be careful with the henna.
