I think i'm going to get some hair dye and do a dye job this weekend!!! I think maybe a change can be a good thing!!!!!

I am WAY pale and have dirty blonde hair -but i'm thinking of going brown...chestnut....

I wanted to do it for real at a salon but my hair girl said it may not be a good idea because if i don't like it - getting it back to normal may take too long for the wedding...

So - on to the question...any good hair dyes out there? Anyone have any good ideas? Think this is silly??!?!?!?

i have a light complaxion too and natural dirty blonde hair....i dyes my hair brown a few years ago and hated it!!!!!! be sure u wanna do it first. if anything maybe go light brown first and see...JMO

i'm pale as snow and have natural blonde hair...i dyed mine black and loved it... it's all a matter of personal prefferance.

that's why semi perm is a great way to go.

Don't be nervous!! it's just hair, you can always fix it if you don't like it.

Okay - i'm baaaaack :)

I need to THANK you Bemyyoko!!!!! The woman at Sally really knew her stuff!! I told her what I wanted to do and we went over the DEMI-Perm line - this way it will deposit color on TOP of my natural color and not remove & replace... We talked about my tone (pale white girl) and she said that i needed to use a WARM color - so that it wouldn't look harsh... So - i wound up with Loreal Color Gems - Darkest Warm Brown..she thinks it would look very nice!

I felt so confident with this woman that i bought it and i'll do it tomorrow with a member of my BP....a BRUTALLY HONEST friend of mine. She's the perfect person to have in your life - she'll take one look and go - okay if we start shampooing now, you'll be fine in about 2 hours... So i have hopes!!!!!

OMG i LOOOOVE that color, i had red hair for years and love dark red like that. I wanna do it

Re: NWR: Hair Dye

I just checked out the site - it's not the wrong color...but it wasn't red. She told me that red would not look good on me - that it would only bring attention to the red undertones in my skin.. LOVED her honesty!!
