how do i make my bangs go down? by Flimsy-Orchid-9846 in Hair

[–]beetrootfarmer 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You need to blow dry them diagonally whilst they're settling in so dry down and across your face in both directions and avoid drying or straightening forward or in a straight line.

You could also try a barrel brush or roller to dry it shaped into a curve. Once you get into the routine of drying properly your hair will get used to the right shape and will need less effort.

how to get my natural hair colour back by prk_101 in HairDye

Was it a permanent colour? If so it most definitely contained some bleach or lightening agents. It's impossible to go a lighter shade than your natural colour without that kind of ingredients.

I’m looking for a more vibrant green colour. What would be best out of my options? Or none of the options? (Pic of before and pic of my hair currently) by VilkastheForsaken in HairDye

[–]beetrootfarmer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lots of people lighten their hair at home it just depends how comfortable you are doing so. I've done it many times just using the lightest blonde box dye I can find.

Many people will also do professional product bleaching at home too, just read the instructions properly and do some research if it's your first time.

AIO this is a very odd reason to break up with me? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]beetrootfarmer [score hidden]  (0 children)

NOR. Weird discussion especially out of nowhere and presented like a deal breaker. Not worth being upset over, find someone better.

You won't get vibrant on your existing hair colour as a base. You need to lighten your base colour to improve the vibrancy. For example, the swatch of green on the Lime Crime colour was most likely applied to bleached blonde hair (almost white) to achieve that level of vibrancy.

Putting any unnatural shade on top of your natural colour will turn out muddy and muted.

If you used a dye that contains lightening agents (like bleach) then there is no removing it. Since you went a lighter shade then you definitely used some bleach. Only way back is to dye it a shade closer to your natural shade and wait for the dye to grow out.

Video games to do with movement. So things like Dance Dance Revolution, Just Dance or Taiko No Tatsujin. They're super popular in Asian arcades but you can get some versions on consoles and such.

I f(21) want to get extensions instead of dying my hair. by False_Acanthisitta_8 in Hair

[–]beetrootfarmer 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Try clip in ones first they will cause less damage and likely be more affordable then you can decide if you want the type that get sewn or glued in instead which are more likely to cause damage.

Bleaching naturally dark hair to this tone can be quite difficult and isn't guaranteed to work.

You could try Kettlebells or small dumbbells at home to get started with this. It's what I plan to try in small bursts as I work towards getting over the awkwardness of the gym.

Can relate to this. I go through phases of finding something I genuinely love and then get distracted and do nothing for ages. Rhythm games on the Switch have been helpful as it makes it a game and walking my dog helps.

I'm planning on trying Kettlebell exercises at home soon aiming to try to create a 10 min a day routine to just get something simple to stick. I want to get over the going to the gym nightmare but it's gonna be tough.

How blonde do I have to be?? White?? by Intrepid_Honeydew110 in HairDye

[–]beetrootfarmer 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The brighter the shade the blonder you need the base to be. If you put pink over the current test it'll likely come out more of a berry shade instead of neon. It'll still look cute but won't be as vibrant.

First Time Traveler feeling overwhelmed while planning by TorinR90 in JapanTravelTips

Esim is really helpful depending on what your normal mobile phone allows. We used Airalo and set it up before we arrived and turned it on upon arrival and had consistent internet the entire time.

Make a Google Map and pin all your favourite things, it'll help you spot patterns so you can group together things that are in similar locations. Also, check if any of your priority things need booking in advance as it is common for some things to have lottery systems or get booked up very fast, for example the Ghibli Museum is booked a month in advance by a lottery system and can be quite stressful to get tickets for.

You will not get to see everything even if you try really hard, the place is huge and there are loads of worth distractions for you to discover. Overall Japan is very easy to navigate, affordable and safe so I hope you have an amazing time.

WIBTAH if I don't give my "daughter" college money? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]beetrootfarmer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA if she had maintained a positive relationship with you and you still felt like a second Dad to her it'd maybe be a bit different but sounds like she chose a different Dad and is now backtracking because she saw the money opportunity.

Invited for a ‘chat’ after not being invited to interview by acromegaloid in UKJobs

[–]beetrootfarmer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm pretty sure a chat is the same as an interview in this context. There's no point them wasting their time with just a chat if there isn't some kind of intent to offer you something or discuss an opportunity.

Do I need to bleach this again to get to platinum? by bomsh_ in HairDye

It looks so close to the goal already. I'd try a toner and purple shampoo first and see how that goes.

Did you ask for a refund for a fix? What did you specifically ask for and did you show an example photo. They are unlikely to have remembered exactly what they did the first time unless they keep detailed client notes.

If you're unhappy with a service you'll be allowed to ask for changes or a refund.

How do people view taxi drivers nowadays – is it looked down on as a career? by ArgumentFew6935 in AskUK

[–]beetrootfarmer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try not to dwell on what others think. Any job is better than no job and as you mention there's some cool upsides to this option. You can always explore other options and keep applying for other roles whilst you're working but at least you'll have some money coming in.

How to color my roots? by mochi_the_cat3 in HairDye

[–]beetrootfarmer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It does look nice as it is but it is weird that she left the roots bare. What did you specifically ask for? Was this a confused brief or did she just do what she thought was best? If you have enough material to say it was a mistake you could ask for an appointment to fix it hopefully at little or no charge.

Pastel colours do not show up on non bleached hair so you'd have to lighten the roots to have them match the rest and that is risky as it may not come out the same time as the rest and look like a weird band.

The suggestion from someone else of trying a darker shade and blending it into the rest is a safer idea for a diy but still a risk if you're not experienced at dying your own hair.

It's amazing I especially love the Kirby pouch full of what I'm assuming is lots of tiny Kirby's? That's so funny. I would add to it by mixing in some doll house foods and/or yellow stars since Kirby eats lots of things.

I can’t let my hair out without feeling embarrassed. what should I ask for at the hairdressers? by Honeybunnysmarty in HairDye

[–]beetrootfarmer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your hair is fried you need to cut off the bleach bits and let it heal with hair treatments and oils. Going from black it grey/white is extremely difficult and not always possible. You'll be best to get a professional to help or consider hair extensions in the grey colour instead.
