Huh?.....for all those that dye their hair~~~~

[selmaS]

did u know that the baby shampoo that we r told to use after PFD can lighten the color of dyed hair???

I did not, and thought there was some other reason as to y my hair didn't seem to be holding the dye in certain areas...my DH found this tidbit....I was surprised and amazed.

How to Lighten Color-Treated Hair
  
Many women (and quite a few men) have boldly wandered down the hair coloring aisle and emerged with what they believe will be the perfect color for their hair. Of course, no matter how closely matched those tiny little acrylic hair samples are, they can never take into account the dozens of factors that make up your particular hair, including texture and overall health. Sometimes the warmest auburn dye can turn jet black no matter how closely you follow the directions. Luckily, there are some simple steps you can take to help lighten your newly color-treated hair.

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions
Things You'll Need:
Baby shampoo or lemon-scented dishwashing soap
Hot water
Your regular conditioner
Clarifying shampoo
Moisturizing conditioner
Step
1
Wash your hair three times with baby shampoo immediately after discovering that your color-treated hair came out darker than you expected. Though baby shampoo has an adjusted pH to avoid irritating eyes, the formula is actually relatively harsh because it has to battle serious grime like food, gum and anything else children may get in their hair. You can also use lemon scented dishwashing soap instead of baby shampoo.


SO this is a FYI to all that will want to cover grey hair or just want to color after PFD...expect to have issues with teh color......

Wolf I got my first gray hair at around 22...:( Don't feel bad!

Wolf...I have a sister 1 yr younger...no need to color her hair...a sister a yr older...and to brighten it a bit I would...but not bcuz of gray...and the youngest by 3 yrs no need there either...I guess I was the lucky one all the way round !!

Some woman do deal with baldness or major hair loss very similar to men......but the majority of us do not : )

Wow......I had no idea!!  I have my hair colored dark all the time to cover the slight "flaws" as I call them lol I will certainly remember this now if I ever am too dark and will remember it later once I have surgery!!  =)

Maybe so, I didn't expect this much gray at my age though. I have wondered that myself though about men and women. My older sister colors and colors and colors but at least she doesn't have to worry about baldness.

[selmaS]

LOL....doesn't sound like a wise idea...hahahahhehehehe

[*Stormy*]

Would have been good to know about when I turned my hair green in highschool!!Lesson to learn..if you are a brunette do NOT try to go blonde on your own LOL

[selmaS]

LMAO...yeah, but what else does it do...no more tears indeed !!!

[*Stormy*]

It scares me a little that we use this on our babies?? I guess you gotta get rid of that cradle cap somehow!

[selmaS]

I am sure u do not look old and haggard...u r too young for that!!.....and to answer ur ?...it isn't fair at all...use this shampoo...it's supposed to be gentile...so how does it strip the color down?

[*Stormy*]

Yeah no kidding..how fair is that??

I didn't even hear that we were supposed to use baby shampoo on our hair after PFD..I have always just used my normal type..so I guess it wouldn't affect me. Believe or not I still haven't even got to dying my hair yet!! I always plan on doing it at night but then I am too tires...so I continue to look old and haggard..lol

[selmaS]

LOL....u would be the first to comment on this...lol....on men grey hair is distinguished....on women..it's shows we r not taking care of ourselves...go figure....lol.....

[ChiariWolf]

Not enough hair to dye anymore. Wife says every clipping takes less and less time with more and more gray. I tell her I"m taking it easy on God. The scriptures say he has the hairs numbered on our heads so I just toss out a few to take it easy on him. :-)
