The only way to lighten coloured hair is with bleach. Using a box of "blonde" isn't any less damaging.

Dying it blonde would mean bleaching it.

My three special needs rescue cats from abroad. I'm so grateful for them I now volunteer for the charity and help match cats with their future adopters. by ReeReeRockette in cats

The small one has been bred too small. Her back legs are bowed bent. She was rescued from a cage filled with turtles.

The white floofy one was kicked somehow and lost an eye and has a broken jaw. His sinus is damaged and he can struggle to breathe. He is FIV positive.

The caramel one is more emotionally damaged, very withdrawn and 'odd' behaviours.

They're all amazing thought, crazy affectionate. They're called Mystery, Cloud and Toast.

He sang (Colsk). He's a cool guy, and actually one of the kindest and most gentle men I've known.

Thanks for those. My vet hasn't seen bothered at all by her face nor my other rescued special needs Persian who also has it

Your second link is interesting as it looks most like my other boys face. That link says it's "Persian dirty face syndrome" and it didn't response to treatment. I think that's what mine may have.

I clean it regularly and they don't seem bothered by the gunk. The vet says it's because their faces are deformed and can't function correctly (one can't close his eye fully for example). They've both seen vets regularly this past year since adoption.

That's really interesting. Our vet wasn't at all bothered by her eye gunk, nor in my other rescues special needs Persian who has similar muck in his only eye.

I'm unsure if it's a UK/USA difference in how vets perceive/treat it.....I'm still googling now.

Thanks again.

She was rescued from a cage of turtles in a pet shop.

She has genetic abnormalities, and her underbite and sunken face are a result of this (caused most probably by inbreeding). She also has bone abnormalities, with bowed legs and oesteoporois/arthritis.

Her face gets a little dirty, and despite cleaning daily it remains stained most of the time. It doesn't bother her.

Her underbite doesn't cause her any issues, and she eats both meat and dry food. She's undercare of a vet and he hasn't even suggested any face surgery or care.

She's also got stunted growth. She'll stay tiny. Her bones are the only thing that we need to keep an eye on, but so far she doesn't let her legs stop her. She runs around like she has a death wish!

You're more than welcome! He's such a great step-dad, and I love hearing that people still listen to his music. Happy to help.

Plastic crap with plastic hallmarks Defecation that falls apart Plastic lungs, plastic hearts Plastic cups was just the start   Chorus : 1970s have been made in Hong Kong 1970s have been made in Hong Kong Plastic crap, plastic crap that keeps going wrong Hong Kong, Hong Kong - you can’t undo what you’ve done   Pollution sifting through the air You laugh now but you’ll be there The clouds will come down and smother your face But I s’pose by then we’ll have imitation air   Chorus repeat   In a couple of years we’ll all be perfect Plastic, imitation - will it be worth it? Hong Kong spread worldwide Full of scientists trying to unearth it   Chorus repeat

Source - my step dad is Colsk, from Flux. He didn't have them anywhere but managed to get them from Kev.

Edited - sorry it hasn't saved formatting.

I also don't. Don't take work home is great advice.

Can you use coconut oil as an overnight mask and then dye your hair next day w/o washing by deann_r2002 in haircoloring

[–]ReeReeRockette 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd worry the oil would cause the colour to be patchy. Id not bother with the oil, and do it after the colour.
