I've been having a purple dip dye for a while now, I'm in for a change and I was thinking a peachy orange. I never had this colour before so I think I might need some advice!
I was considering Bleach London Awkward Peach or Washed Out Orange. Has anyone tried them? To me they actually look the same, but apart from this I've never used Bleach dyes so if anyone has info on staying power, I'd like to know about that too π or if I could get a similar colour with other dyes, even diluted ones.
I have tried a couple of Bleach dyes and i was seriously unimpressed lol. I tried Washed Up Mermaid and Tangerine Dream. They have a horrible consistency, do not cover well or evenly, a really strong smell (like cheap cologne) and only last one wash. The only thing that they have going for them is they are cheap and easily available.
I would dilute a reddish orange from a longer lasting brand to make a nice peach, or mix your own with pink and orange/yellow depending on the shade you want. Directions Pastel Pink is a nice peach if your hair isn't bleached to white.
Oh yeah I was wondering about the consistency too, so thank you for your info! My hair is a faded SFX Deep Purple but it's still a rather vivid pink so I need to fade it first... I'd rather go for a bleach bath rather than a full bleach, but I don't know whether this is a stubborn colour or not. I've never tried to fade it or bleach it so far. I was actually thinking that I would get to an orangey pink just by fading or bleach bathing this colour? Considering how pink it is now -I don't have pictures but it's pretty close to this
My guess is that it would turn to orange when bleached, but again, I have never tried this so I'm not sure. If I would get something rather orangey I could then use Pastel Pink for touch ups
SFX Deep Purple goes highlighter pink when bleached, very neon.
I wouldn't advise bleaching at all for fading colour, it is unnecessary damage and can actually drive the colour deeper in so making it harder to remove long term. There are much safer options for fading colour
However, if your hair s healthy and you don't mind the damage, then it could definitely be an option. If your base was a yellowy blonde it could come out peachy
Nono I was planning on trying to fade it and then bleach only in case I needed a very pale base for a peach orange! I'll definitely try to fade this as much as I can! My hair is quite healthy but since it's the ends I am going to work on, I'd rather save them the stress of bleaching.
Yes my base was a rather yellow blonde, so I guess that if I manage to fade this well it could get pretty close to the color I want....
You can easily get an peachy color by diluting an orange based pink and putting that onto a yellow base.
Before i started toning my hair before dying, my pinks always used to fade peachy because of the yellow in my base.
Any colour in particular that you would suggest? I'm having a look through pink, red and orange hair dyes
I think directions cerise is orange based. I'd need to check though as i am not 100%sure
I think it is, I used Cerise for a little while last year then gave what was left of it to a friend who only wanted to dye a small section of her hair. On her bleached yellow blonde it faded quite salmon/orange, but it took a lot to get to that stage. I guess it'd have to be heavily diluted to get a peach colour..
