Hair colour -- accidental dye?
So, tomorrow night I'm going to be bleaching parts of my hair to an almost white colour, and I KNOW it's just flat out going to murder my hair
So I want to do some intense moisturizing after I dye it (using mayo, olive oil, honey, egg, hair lotion, oil and condition treatments, etc.), but I'm worried that some of the things I'm going to use (such as the egg and whatnot) might dye the strands.
I don't know many people that do hair treatments, let alone natural hair treatments, so I was wondering, should I be worried about some of the natural stuff that I'm using? IN the sense that it'll turn the light blonde/white strands an odd colour after it's applied (like a sort of natural dye)?
I some things (like cinnamon and coffee) work as natural dyes.
No, there are no real "natural dyes" that will dye your hair just because you put it on your head. The only thing that could "tint" your hair would be using apple cider vinegar or white vinegar mixed with sunlight. Otherwise you'll be just fine.
I've used a lot of different natural moisturizers- mayo is gross and I only use it if I have nothing else. It really doesn't moisturize that well. Washing your hair with eggs will moisturize and nourish your hair. And for the best deep conditioning treatment, I recommend olive oil and a hot towel.
Bleach is going to wreck your hair if you plan on using it more than once. When I had white hair, I started with black (which made it take a long time) but I bleached it, then used a super light blonde dye called something like "Light Ash Blonde" and it left a purple tint for a couple days to kill the brassiness of the bleach. After the purple tint washed out, my hair was pretty well stark white.
If you're starting with black hair, bleach alone won't make it turn white until the 6th or 7th round of bleach. Using bleach once, then leaving it for a few days so the brassy tones die down will give your hair enough time to recover so you can use a white dye on it.
Thank you both

I know.
My hair is going to be a wreck!
That's the part that really makes me nervous is the fried bits, not the actual colour.
I just hope it looks okay :3
The joke now is that I'm gonna look like Rouge lol
