Color placement

2nd one looks like purple highlights on black hair, the other two they probably worked with layers. If you want a black section on top, you need to single out the first layer of your hair, carefully separate it from the rest and dye only that section. Use some aluminium foil to make sure you won't put dye also on the underlayers. If you want to go for the 3rd pic style I'd maybe backcomb the hair where the black is supposed to meet the other color, so that it'll blend more nicely.

Just wanted to pop in to say that you may get staining from the demi, making it difficult to get pastels in the future if you were so inclined to do any. So there's today's friendly been there, done that warning.  🙂

In all honesty, all dyes can stain, reds, pinks and blacks are the most likely. It can be hard coming back from any black, semi, demi or permanent.

The third looks like a triangle section on a lightly layered haircut. I don't think there's need for back combing. To be honest, the reason all of these looks work is layering. It looks like you have one length hair. If so, none of them would look anything like this on your hair. They all need light layering for the peekaboo thing to work.

Best thing for you is either diagonal slices or the star section. They'd both give a sort of look of peekaboo colour

Ah, yeah I know about the staining issue, my lengths are pretty stained by having blue for around an year, I didn't thought the purple will show up as well as it did...

I'll try to get the shape first on diagonal sections, because I've tried those out in the past and if it looks good I'll get the demi. If it looks bad I'll just part my hair on the other side  :laugh:

I was thinking of going to the hairdresser to ask, but when most of them see my color they give me that look...

Thank you so much for the help and guidance, you guys are the best  *1*
