Any hair dying info and tips?

I have been wanting to dye my hair and already know what color I want. I have been told that once I dye it, I have to keep dying it since the roots will come out my natural hair color and it will look weird and patchy. Do I really have to stick with the same color my whole life? Can I do anything about the roots and get my natural hair color back when I want it?

I'd really like some helpful info and tips. Thanks.

Once you 'color' your hair, it's best to do touch-ups when your roots come in. It's not pretty looking at say, a red-head when her dark brunette roots are coming in.

No, you do not have to stick with the same color, you can color your hair whatever colors you want, but, it will be difficult to get your natural hair color back. You can color it back to your natural color, but, you will have to repeat the process a lot b/c your hair will not hold the color in. Basically, if you want your natural hair color back after bleaching, for example, you will either have to repeat the coloring process maybe every 6 weeks or so, or wait for your hair to grow out. If you don't have the money to upkeep your hair, I suggest coloring your hair to something close to your natural hair color now. A little lighter doesn't hurt, and people will notice the lighter color.

You don't have to do the same color every time. You can use a root touch up when your hair begins to grow out.

If you are not sure what color you want use a temporary color to start with. It will only last 2-3 weeks, but you can tell if you like it before going permanent. Once you start using permanent color it takes a while to get you natural color back.

Choose a dye that has conditioner and use a shampoo for color treated hair.

you can switch it up. I due mine lighter in the summer time %26amp; a shade or two darker in the winter. As far as how often to dye it; it depends on how fast your hair grows. Most people can go 6-8 weeks. There is a root-dye kit made by clairol that's supposed to be pretty good-my mom uses it. When you get ready to get it back to your natural color just dye it a color that really blends in well with your natural color.

Good luck.

I've been dying my hair since 5th grade! So For a while, for a while i was dying it blonde, then i recently changed to brown. But If your dying your hair a darker color and then want to go back to a lighter color, bleach your hair (not using actual bleach) Or you could get a Malibu treatment. You don't HAVE to keep dying it, some people don't mind the roots showing, sometimes its not all that weird. It Really depends on what you like/want.

Have fin dying your hair! I hope you like it!

Yes you will get the roots showing through once your hair grows but only if you use a permanent hair dye. As for weird %26amp; patchy it will only look this way if you do not apply it evenly. I gather you are going to do this yourself %26amp; not use a hairdresser....there are so many good hair dyes on the market these days that can be used at home %26amp; very easy to use...just like shampooing!! Try a semi permanent dye that washes out after 8-10 washes, you will not get root growth because the colour will fade gradually with each wash, plus if you don't like the colour you can change it!!! Good luck!!

I only dye mine to get rid of the gray, and I dye it my natural color of dark brown, so no root prob. except gray. But when the roots start showing through and you're still wanting the same color, you only need to color the roots. You can do this by using your original dye.
