My hair is a really dark brown and I want to dye it a nice plumish reddish and I want it to show really good. I'm not that worried about damage but I was gonna use a clairol textures & tone honey blonde then put a semi permant over it? Is that really bad? Or do you have any other suggestions. Don't want to spend too much $ at a salon since I'm braiding after anyways

Hey anon,

"is that really bad?" --- Its not the worst idea I've ever heard but its pretty close.

"Do you have any other suggestions." --- If you want to avoid a catastrophe and actually care about your hair go to a professional.

"Don't want to spend too much $ at a salon since I'm braiding after anyways" --- Im not saying every salon is going to give you what you want but if you take the time to find a stylist who can you'll avoid any further issues... yes you may save $100 by doing it yourself but is that worth potential damage, disappointment, panicing for it not coming out how you wanted etc?

If you care about how you look take the time to do things the right way, in order to get the results you want you don't take short cuts.

I'm not perming my hair anymore, I have a thick hair texture and it's short with no dead ends, like to my neck.. I was wondering if a sew in would be unhealthy to have in my hair for a few months like 3-4 months.. like could my hair potentially fall out?

Hey anon,

1st there is no such things is having "NO Deadends" the moment your hair folicle breaks through your scalp the hair is dead... keep that in mind

2nd Having any sewn in weave in for longer than 8weeks(2months) is un-healthy...

3rd The hole hair falling out theory goes like this...

Everyday you shed hair, but once you braid up your hair for the sew-in you have now stopped the shedding process from occurring daily. There for when you go to take out your braids from the sew-in it may seem as if your loosing an excessive amount of hair, when in reality you are just finally shedding 56days worth of hair that has built up in the braids.

If your sew-in is done properly and you follow the instructions your stylist has given you on how to care for/maintain your weave you shouldn't run into any problems.

You have very valid point but I realllly want them now and I also have a job where they wouldn't think the awkward faze is professional you know.. My hair texture is different also & I was wondering like would the locs form just like the fake ones?

Hey...

so ... Your unwillingness to be patient most likely will leave you disappointed with your "loc's" in the end... my co-workers at the time talked shit to me everyday when I began my loc's and that was at a salon lol. keep in mind your hair doesnt make you professional, the way you carry yourself does. What's your texture like? I maybe able to help more if you send me pics etc. (Email: [email protected])-illy

In the summer I don't straighten my hair, but then I tend to walk around just having my hair in a messy frizzy bun all summer long and it doesn't look cute at all. Do you have any suggestions for what I should do? Also I've been trying to grow it out longer by adding olive oil to my ends because my ends break off at a certain length. My hair has been way past this length before so I know that it will get longer if I take care of it better. Thanks for your time :)

Hey Ma'ma

My favorite summer style will forever be two french braids, they look neat, stylish and you honestly don't see many girls wearing them. You could also do the ponytail/braid... I really just like styles that keep the hair neat and off the neck & face in the summer. I see it as If you want to look wild just leave your hair out and embrace your inner wild child <3When it comes to acquiring length...DRINK WATER & KEEP YOUR ENDS TRIMMED, by doing this you prevent split ends from moving up the shaft of the hair causing more damage. Keep your hair hydrated (leave in conditioners etc.) But be sure your using products that are helpful for YOUR texture not just products that ppl think are cool etc. everyone is different.

Hope this helps.
