Good to know. Oddly, that makes sense. I'm one of those weird people who can't wear perfume b/c it all ends up smelling like bug spray. I have a few body sprays that I like & can use, but 'real' perfume just smells gross on me.Good morning all.
@apryl29 , I wear my hair short so it wouldn’t be worth it to go to a Salon for hair color.
I asked my stylist though about my hair dye turning orange, and she said it’s a body chemistry thing, and to pick colors that say “neutral” “cool” or “ash” in the name, and to avoid the ones that have “warm”.
And since my hair is fine in texture to knock off several minutes from the developing stage to avoid my hair “grabbing” too much of the dark tones. (The ones that make you look like an Elvis impersonator.) so now instead of 25 minutes, I only leave it on for 19 and I actually use a timer.
That did the trick!
I didn't know about that either. I'll keep it in mind for the future. My brother's family was visiting a few years ago and his wife went and got highlights done at a salon in town and the next day they were gone.. she went back and they fixed it. I wonder if that was the problem... She has ethnic hair so I also wonder if the person who did it didn't know what she was doing, though they should teach that in beauty school.Also weird one...
My daughter has long hair and gets this whole process done with lots of tones.
One time it looked great when she left the salon but two days later it was as if it just evaporated.
She was hysterical.
We made her an appointment for “color correction”.
While her stylist (same one she always goes to) was looking at it and trying to decide what to do about it, the owner of the salon pulled me discretely aside.
He was a man.
He asked me if by any chance she was having her period.
Well actually she was!
He said NEVER get your hair colored at that time.
Messes with “the chemistry”.
So they told her to wear a messy bun for a few days and come back -“after”.
That took care of it.
