Hello everybody !
Some of you might know I'm obsessed with (my) hair, and a lot of you might know that I love dying it.
Well, that, and the fact that I completely mutilated my scalp yesterday evening, are the reasons I decided to write this article.
I hope you will enjoy it, and that by Monday our classroom will look like a rainbow (even the teachers) !
~First : Choosing the colour~
Before you do anything to your hair, it would be nice to actually know what you want to do.
So, it's completely up to you what colour you like : but you might wonder what will suit you the most, or what your parents will let you do !
For your parents : maybe they would prefer a natural-looking colour. But if you want another colour, I would recommend something not too shocking. For example, red is a pretty common hairdye, and the darkest shades are not too shocking, especially if your hair was dark to begin with. Sometimes, they will agree for coloured strands only, or maybe a tie-and-dye if your hair is long enough, more easily than for a complete haircolour.
As of what will suit you the most : Anything because you're beautiful.
It depends on your skin and eye-colour. For example, I decided to dye my hair platinum blonde for the summer because it looks good with tan. I also know that black hair looks great with blue eyes - but be careful, for black is a very strong colour and it might be difficult to get used to. But sometimes, the only option to know is to actually try it ! (You could ask someone to photoshop you with that haircolour if you really want to know, though.)
~Second : Do I have to bleach it ?~
Well I would recommend not to bleach your hair, for it hurt me like hell and I still feel like I am wearing a crown of thorns as of today.
~2.1 : Should I be scared of bleaching my hair ?~
Not particularly. Some people do not even feel it hurting, and some people feel like someone is cutting their head open with a chainsaw. If you really cannot bear the pain, you can throw your head under lukewarm water and give up. That's what I did but I lasted 20 min - that's why I will do the platinum strand by strand this summer, and as of now, I'm just a very light blonde. By the the putting-the-colour-that-really-hurts-part, your hair is already blonde because of the scrub. (Of course, dying without bleaching does not hurt at all !)
So. It depends on your current haircolour, and the one you want to have. If the colour you want is darker than your actual hair, of course you do not need to bleach it. If it is lighter, you'll have to bleach it.
If your hair is black, I'm sorry, but there is no way not to bleach it.
~Third : Does dyeing it damage the hair ?~
Yes, it does, but really not a lot if you use a hairdye of good quality. You might not even notice it if the hairdresser does it.
Now, doing it several times might end up damaging it, that is why you need to take good care of it. As for bleaching, well it destroys it, so you will have to take very good care of it. But at least, it looks good !... right ?
~Fourth : I am hesitating... I am not sure whether it would look cool or not~
There it is ! I hope you learned some new things thanks to my article.
Gosh, I love talking about hair...
