About my hair:
I have been dying my hair most of my life. My friends and family just love to say, "Someday all your hair is going to fall out." I find it kind of funny actually, considering it's been six years since they begun saying that, and my hair is still extremely healthy. I've never been dumb about it, I usually wait months before re-dying or bleaching. My hair is thick and short but I don't have a lot of it, meaning some of these tips may not apply to you. I hope this is helpful!
Q: How long should I wait before re-dying my hair?
A:The minimum I think you should wait is two to three months. Maximum of 10, if you wish to keep your hair looking nice with the color of your choice.
Q:How often is to often for bleaching my hair?
Unfortunately at all is to often, after I bleach my hair I can definitely feel and tell how much damage I did. When trying to achieve a light color after having dark its better to use blonde hair dye, not bleach blonde though. Using dye rather than bleach may be less effective but its the more hair healthy way, and will surely lighten the color. The most important thing to remember when bleaching or dying your hair is that, you can't be impatient. If you don't like what your hair is doing after color treating you may just have to deal. If you insist on bleaching then I recommend waiting two weeks to a month before bleaching a second time.

Q:What if I mess up dying my hair?
STOP!! DON'T TRY TO FIX IT! SEEK HELP FROM A PROFESSIONAL!Wait, you're seeking help from me? Well then, the first thing you should do is, don't panic! Depending on how badly you messed up, it's most likely fixable. There are tons of ways you could have screwed up so i'll stick to just a bad dye. If you intend on fixing it yourself you should start with a shower. Rinse your hair like there is no tomorrow! Now obviously this wont remove all the color, but if you act quick enough you can hopefully remove quite a lot of the product. I don't recommend trying to dye again, not even the next day. Maybe you're like me though and dye your hair on Sunday with no room for mistake. In that case, and ONLY in that case should you use the "Dish soap method." That involves washing your hair out with dish soap, as i'm sure you guessed. I know that sounds crazy but the soap will strip the color from your hair. Don't get me wrong it is damaging as well but not nearly as damaging as dying your hair twice in a a row. After washing the soap through your hair, very thoroughly, use lots of conditioner and moisturizer to re-vamp your hair. If that doesn't work, don't dye it. Style it, up-do's are the best way to go unless your roots are out of whack, then curl! Don't forget a heat protection product ! if anyone says something tell them the truth, and if you're committed to dying your hair then rock it, who cares!
