If I use a dye product it will actually show up on my hair without bleach?

Hi,

I’m interested in dyeing a small area of the front of my hair

Green. I have darkish brown hair. I’m looking for something not too out there but still visible. Also, I’m wondering if there is any way to do this so that it’s somewhat permanent (like it won’t come out in the shower the next day) and also without seriously damaging my hair such as with bleach? I called one company (Jerome Russell) and they said their product would work safely, but then I asked someone else who said that no one can guarantee that if I use a product it will actually show up on my hair without bleach. Can you give me some insight?

Hi Sam,

Thank you for e-mailing us your question. Unfortunately, hair colors such as green, pink, purple and blue are not as visible on brown hair as it would be on blonde hair. Hair color products strip the existing color the first half of the process and then it deposits the intended color at the second half of the process. Most festive color products such as green do not, they just deposit.

If you want a subtle green, I suggest try it first without the bleaching or stripping process; you might be pleased with the result and if not, you can always exercise your option. Good Luck!
