Hair geeks help needed from skin geek pretty please!

[SianyLou]

Hello!

This is a question about my own hair, I have been a red colour for roughly 3 years now, using goldwell topchic 5RR and RV effects with a 6% creme peroxide.

I used to dye my hair every 3-4 weeks before noticing it had become very damaged around April of this year, so I started to let it go 5-6 weeks with no colour and used directions rubine once a week in between my colour.

Around July I started to use a keratase shampoo And conditioner and since my hair has been in such a better condition, I also always have my hair cut every 4-6 weeks!

But my problem is now when I am dying it, it's taking roughly 2-3 washes for my ends to go a blonde ginger colour? I have never ever bleached my hair and I am naturally a dark brown.

I'm very confused where this lightness has come from?

Do you geeks advice I dye my hair using the directions or goldwell as now I have read things on the Internet that directions is just vegetable extract that damages your hair too?!?

Very confused, please help!

I too am confused, according to your thread title you are asking the skin geeks to help you....with a hair question
is it a typo?..if so I can fix it.

Are you applying permanent color over all of your hair each time? If so, this problem would occur. Goldwell is designed to use permanent color to touch up the roots, but then Demi permanent color to refresh the ends. The chemistry is slightly different in Goldwell as opposed to other color lines where you would simply apply to the root and 20 minutes later, pull through the ends. Goldwell requires two seperate products for a color touch up.

I think she is a skin geek asking for help from hair geeks lol x

But her profile says she is a Hair and Make up pro

....and if that was the case it should be in Consumer and advised to go to a salon for her colour

Oh dear, you are basically knackering your hair by reapplying 6% peroxide to the same parts of the hair every few weeks.

It's the peroxide in the mix that's bleaching the ends and that's why it's starting to look gingery underneath when it fades. No trained hairdresser would keep applying full strength tint to hair that is already coloured.

Eventually, your hair will break off where it's most damaged.

Unfortunately, no amount of conditioner will prevent this happening as the conditioner you're using is a surface product designed to smooth the cuticles. It cannot repair the hair shaft.

Have you ever performed a skin test? You really shouldn't be mixing and applying professional tints if you haven't been trained to use them safely. You could cause yourself some serious harm.

If you're trying to save money, make an appt. at your local college and have the students tint it for you, under supervision.
