Extreme hair color??

If someone had light brown hair and they dyed it black would it be more damaged that say if they dyed it medium brown?? Would it be more damaged if they dyed it very blond as opposed to dirty blond?? I'm wondering if more damage occurs when the color is further on the color spectrum from your natural color. And if someone had light brown hair would it be more damaging to dye it blond or black, or would it make a difference??



Extreme hair color??

When you take brown hair and color it black you are just depositing color to your hair. When you bring brown hair up to blond you are opening the hair shaft and drawing the pigment out. So it doesnt matter what color your hair is if you making it lighter you are damaging it worse than taking it darker. This does not mean that it doesnt damage your hair if you take it darker but damages it worse going lighter. Hope this answers your question.

the most damage occurs with bleach because you are stripping the hair.



adding color damages your hair.



adding color and then lightening it can really damage your hair.



Extreme hair color??

Adding anything to your hair will pretty much damage it!



Extreme hair color??

Of course it all depends on how dark your natural color is and how light you want to go.



Hair color is measured in levels. One being black and ten being the lightest blonde.



Hair color will only lift the natural color of hair 3-4 levels, if you're lucky more than that bleach is needed.



If "someone" had light brown hair it would be considered a natural level of 6-7. Blondes start at level 7-8. So achieving blonde on someone with a natural level 6-7 would be easy with color.



If "someone" had hair darker than a 6 then bleach would be needed to lighten it.



As far as damage, if you go to a professional hairstylist you would be safer. Professional hair colors now have a lot of ingredients and additives that now protect the hair from the extreme damage of the old days.



Even bleach is not as harmful as it used to be, however be warned bleach will still dry out your hair.



Please see a professional



Good Luck.

Hi my name is Julie a stylist from Australia, the same damage happens when you darken your hair no matter how dark, bleaching does the most damage, especially the lighter you go, all colour does some damage specially if you colour a lot, all permanent colour use peroxide as a fixer, if u use vol 10 peroxide, it will do less damage than vol 30, 40 or 50, 40 or 50 vol is only used by professionals. if you use no peroxide it will ony be a temporary colour or a rinse,



Hope I helped.

going from light brown to medium brown or to black damages it the same. but going lighter is more damaging because you need to bleach your hair and thats what kills it. if you have light brown hair it would be more damaging to go blond than black because for black you just dye it black. but for blond you have to bleach than dye it the blond you want.



its just like paint, you could keep on adding color to make it darker, but if you want to go lighter you have to start with blank. thats what the bleach does to your hair.



Extreme hair color??

all hair colors are damaging to some extent....but if you stick to hair color (going from med brown to blond), you will do less damage than using a bleach to do the lightening. Most light colors have a lifting agent to bring up the color. You wont be platinum, but you will be lighter..if platinum is the look you want, you'll need to bleach first.



Going darker will eventually fade, but not completely, you'll have to re-dye to get back to a color you like..or your original color ..but try a semi permanent that lasts just a few washings to test it out..



you might also try going to a beauty supply for colors and developer. most developers come in 20 volume...(as do most boxed dyes) you can buy different volumes like 40 for lighter looks...or 10 for a not so lifting shade. they're also more likey to have a bigger variety of colors to choose from and can possibly give you more advice. have fun..and good luck
