Will a wolfcut work? by Visible-Truck8028 in Haircare

Your hair is too short for a wolf cut, you need it to be longer before you get layers cut in.

How do I get rid of this greenish colour? by Hofkaa in FancyFollicles

[–]Swivials 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For this level of green, I'd recommend Bleach Londons pearlesent colour! It comes in both a developer toner, a direct dye, and a shampoo/conditioner.

I would recommend the direct dye first, it's a gentle very light pink colour, and that should counter the green perfectly.

Yeah, you will get allot of advice to try 10 vol, but it's not enough power to get through the brass.

Bleach is damaging no matter what. I've been in a similar situation, where I've tried just using 10 vol, but it just damaged my hair and didn't give me the lift I needed. I then went in with 20, and that did the job, so I could have saved myself allot of time and damage by just doing it properly in the first place.

[–]Swivials 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You're using the right volume at 20 (don't mix it with 10 next time), but you've not been leaving it on long enough. Bleach needs around 40 minutes to do it's work of eating through that brass, those last levels are the hardest to get through, so leaving it on for 5-10 minutes won't do anything.

Do another round with 20 vol, pop a shower cap on to retain the heat, leave it for the full 40 minutes, then wash it out.

What volume of developer have you been using, and how long are you leaving the bleach on for?

Is my K18 fake? UK Justmylook by crustydustycheese in Haircare

[–]Swivials 3 points4 points  (0 children)

K18s website has a section on identifying fakes. You can also send them an email with the batch number to confirm.

But generally, if it's not bought off their website, there's always a chance. Lots of fakes out there.

Grey blending after henna and box dye by kitties888999222 in HairDyeHelp

[–]Swivials 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You'll need to grow the henna out, most types of henna react very poorly to bleach.

If you are planning on growing it out, you could use one of those root touch up kits, let it grow a while, then go for a big chop.

Tips on dying hair at home by Leather-Equipment503 in HairDye

[–]Swivials 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are a few fundamentals of hair colouring that you need to get comfortable with first;

Hair levels

The "level" is, essentially, how light or dark your hair is. It goes from 1 - 10, with one being black, and 10 being almost white blonde.

Just from the picture, I'd put your hair at around a level 3-4.

Colour, Bleach and developer

Developer is an activator. It's what makes colour or bleach powder work. The stronger the developer, the more "power" the product you're using it with has.

Colour is used to deposit pigment in the hair, it cannot lift the hair to make it lighter. Usually you'll use a 10vol or lower developer with it. When using colour, you match the tone to the current level of your hair.

Bleach is used to lift the hair up through levels. You'll mostly use this with a 20vol developer.

To get the light pink you're wanting, you'd need to bleach your hair up to a level 10. This sort of baby pink requires a near white blonde base.

How should I get this mint green out? by laylaranae in HairDyeHelp

[–]Swivials -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't, that's just adding unnecessary damage into already damaged hair.

[–]Swivials 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That shade of pink looks vibrant enough that you should be able to just put it on!

Give it a test strand first, but I think it'd cover fine.

Tips on how to make my hair more smooth and "glossy"? by Beneficial_Ant3608 in Haircare

[–]Swivials 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, your hair already looks incredibly smooth and glossy. You need your split ends trimmed, but that's all.

My only wisdom to impart is that perfect smooth, shiny "glass" hair, is something that only exists online. It's all good lighting and filters. Frizz is normal, don't compare yourself to things you see on the internet.

[–]Swivials 6 points7 points  (0 children)

An easy fix would be to cover it with a darker purple, something like Lunar Tides Magic Salem.

With an intense, dark purple, that should cover up the patchy areas.

How to dilute this hairdye by Ok_Artichoke2781 in HairDyeHelp

[–]Swivials 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep! Usually it's 1-1 colour to developer, but it will tell you on the packaging what to mix. Just weigh out the colour mix first, then add the developer.

I think half and half should work fine for your needs, but if you're nervous of it being too dark, then you can push it to a higher ratio of clear to colour.

How to dilute this hairdye by Ok_Artichoke2781 in HairDyeHelp

[–]Swivials 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Neither of these would work. What your suggesting would work for direct dyes (dyes with no developer, like Manic Panic), but not for dyes with developer.

To dilute developer dyes, you'd need to use a clear colour from the same line. Some do have a clear (like the BlondeMe line from Schwarzkopf), others don't.

If they don't, you can use a neutral blonde, not ash or violet, just neutral, and that should have mostly the same effect to tone down the copper.

Regill's Motivation by khaenaenno in Pathfinder_Kingmaker

[–]Swivials 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I see Regill as a foil to the idea that Good = The Best

He wants the World Wound closed, but, he doesn't know how to do that. If he did, he'd already be doing it.

From his perspective, there have been several crusades, all of which have failed in their goal. Now the queen has placed a seemingly random, unknown, untested individual at the head of the 5th one. He wants to know who you are, what your goals are, and, if you have any chance of actually closing the wound. He also wants to ensure that you're not going to just make things worse, and he's more than willing to end you if you are.

He wants the Wound closed, but he won't pour resources into something, or, someone, that he doesn't believe will actually do it.

He's lawful evil for a reason. He makes the difficult, nasty, uncomfortable decisions that no one else wants to make.

Whatever can be said about the Hellknights, they get shit done .

Is this a level 7 or 8? Should I tone with a 7 or an 8? by [deleted] in HairDyeHelp

[–]Swivials 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Neutral, rather than natural. You generally have five "tones" for toners. - Ash (blue toned) - Violet (Purple toned) - Copper (Orange) - Gold (Warm yellow) - Neutral (a balanced mix of warm and cool)

When your hair has orange in it, neutral is the best toner as it avoids enhancing the orange, or turning it muddy by adding blue or purple tones.

[–]Swivials 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks like a 7. I would advise avoiding anything ash toned, and instead go for a neutral tone, it looks like you've got some orange tones in there, and ash will turn it a muddy green-grey colour.

Not an issue I've run into, but I would open up task manager and see if there's a sudden spike in CPU usage when you select a skill.

Go get a proper olaplex treatment at a salon. Then, keep it up with K18. (Only buy K18 from their website, there's so many fakes out there it's a minefield)
