Would fleas cause my dog to have an odor. I gave her a few flea baths and a week or two later, she still has fleas and she stinks. How can I solve my problem?

RE: Hair Dye Disaster!
First of all dish washing liquid may help lighten that black color. Color removers will make your hair florescent orange or red. Then you will have to color over that and you will have a red or orange brassy undertone. Your hair should not be damaged if you have only had permanent color one time. Conditioning will not hurt but I doubt you have damage. Unless you have bleached and colored over and over, your hair should be in good condition. I would suggest that you see someone, if not the original stylist, but someone in that salon. You shouldn't have to pay again to have this corrected. Good luck.
Oh an by the way, hairdressers learn by mistakes. It doesn't mean they need to be reported for this. Mistakes can happen but they should make every effort to correct it.

I went to a local salon and they used permanent dye instead of non-permanent dye in my hair. They stripped down the natural brown color to a weird mud/light orange/ and carrot orange color in varying patches. The stylist tried to cover it up with non-permanent black dye.
To make a long story short, I have to start all over with re-growing out my hair. I had made it through two years and was glad that I only had one year left to go. Now, I will have to start from scratch again. But, part of the black dye is washing out and what is underneath is a real fright.
I want to use non-permanent dyes to just cover it up as best as possible for the next three years while it grows out. I was told using cool colors with blues and purples would help. I do not have good results with ASH or Greens.
Is this the least damaging and safest approach to take? Is is really o.k. to use Non-permanent dyes for this long? A new hair stylist said I would need to wait a couple more weeks for the black non-permanent dye to wash out more prior to using a more natural dark brown on my hair?
Thanks so much, Bonnie - In a nightmare again!

BEST ADVICE: As an older hairdresser, I'd recommend that you complain again CALMLY to the original colorists, stating the exact reason you don't like it,
ie:"The color is WAY darker than I expected or discussed!", "The condition is terrible", or "I need for you to adjust this color to _______, because it is totally unsatisfactory." Do NOT try to tell them WHAT to do, only what you don't like about it, as carefully as possible, such as, "it's too gold, too black, too reddish, etc." Understanding that even THEY might damage it FURTHER IF:
1)you orginally came to them with damaged, bleached, colored, or permed hair and you insist that they RECOLOR it against their better judgment.
2)you described to them that you WANTED the color they gave you but then changed your mind later on
after you left. This is often the case, not the colorists fault. She/he usually colors according to what the patron describes/requests/shows from a picture. Also, they cannot be responsible if a patron
is taking RX meds that grew into the hair and counteract the dyes. Heavy Vitamin/Minerals can alter
dye absorbsion, changing the color significantly. If none of these applies to you, then it may be an old
expired product or wrong formula mix.
3)you have tried to DO anything to help your hair on
your own after you left them, adjusting the chemical makeup of your hair, and not telling them upon return.
4)you do not know exactly what you don't like about
what they did, and leave it up to them to "read your mind". You MUST be able to describe your feelings.
In other words, they only know what you tell them and what they observed your hair to be like before and after they did anything to it, according to their understanding of your request.
You can request of them to write down EXACTLY what they did, they should have kept a record of it, and how LONG they left it on, AND what kind of shampoo and/or conditioners they used afterwards.
MAKE CERTAIN YOU GET ALL FULL NAMES AND License numbers, if at all possible,(they are supposed to willingly give them to you AND they are required to post them somewhere in plain sight) ASSOCIATED with your treatment from the minute you came into the salon, including the second time workers.
TRY TO JOURNAL THE ENTIRE EXPERIENCE BEFORE YOU GO IN AND AFTER YOU LEAVE THE SECOND TIME, listing anything you observed or heard, or thought was "odd", GETTING/keeping AN ITEMIZED LIST OF FEES FOR ALL SERVICES.
If they are professional, they will know exactly WHAT
they did, WHAT to do to please you, IF anything can
be done, and HOW to CORRECT it so that you are
at least HAPPIER, if not totally SATISFIED, AND AT NO ADDITIONAL COST. If they recommend waiting a few weeks, TAKE THEIR ADVICE, BUT REQUEST THAT
THEY HELP YOU to "LIVE WITH IT" IN THE INTERIM.Then make certain that you KEEP THE APPOINTMENT TO GET IT CORRECTED.
Now, if after allowing them the chance to correct it, you are still unhappy, you can write to the State of _______ Board of Hairdressing and Cosmetology, at the capitol of your State and give them a copy of your complete experience. They WILL be able to
determine WHO is at FAULT and WILL TAKE ACTION.
God bless you, and good luck.

I think that you should for sure go back and have it re-dyed. It is your hair and you sould feel proud of it so make it look beautiful. Then have it deep-conditioned.

OMG - go straight back to that salon and demand that they fix it. If you go somewhere else, they will deem it a "corrective color" and charge you through the nose. Speak to the manager - they can do something called a "soap cap" on you and re-dye it. You'll probably need a deep conditioning treatment, too, but demand that you get what you paid for!

Request: HAIR DYE DISASTER!
Two weeks ago, I purchased one of those cheap hair dyes (BIG MISTAKE!) that is supposed to be temporary. The box said it would wash out in 12 to 24 shampoos. So, I, in my great wisdom, figured, what the heck. I tried the color black, a huge change from my medium auburn hair. I figured it was only temporary, right? I have washed and washed my "very black hair" and it is not coming out. What do I do? I look awful in black. How do I get this color out? Why isn't it coming out if it is supposed to be temporary? I am sure the box said temporary, or i would never have used it. Any advice, anyone.
Many, many thanks in advance.

A friend who worked with the theatrical department of her local high school said that "Head and Shoulders" dandruff shampoo worked the best for removing temporary hair-coloring on her"actresses". A word of warning to anyone contemplating dyeing their hair dark brown, it will look BLACK! Don't ask me how I know! LOL (06/23/2006)

RE: HAIR DYE DISASTER!
I would try good old baking soda. Im not sure how well it will scrub out your black dye. Its the only thing that gets hair wax out of my hair right away. Baking soda's worth a try. (06/26/2006)

RE: HAIR DYE DISASTER!
Thanks for your suggestions. I tried the dandruff shampoo. I also tried soap (bar soap) and it still won't come out. Does anyone know anything about "hair color removers?" Someone told me about it, but I'm not sure about this. Thanks again and looking for your responses. (06/26/2006)

RE: HAIR DYE DISASTER!
Hi Anjeena, I am a hairstylist and well as a salon owner. These "temporary colors" can be misleading because although they don't have the chemical elements to penetrate the hair shaft which make them permanent they do not take into account the fact that your hair may already be porous so some of those color molecules get in there and they can be difficult to get rid of, as you've already discovered! First off I would try mixing baking soda in with shampoo and scrubbing it that way, this is usually a fairly productive way off getting a temporary color off. If this doesn't work I would recommend that you get some help from a professional as dye removers can cause some serious damage to your hair that can't be repaired. (remove spaces) (06/26/2006)

I had the same thing happen to me. I washed my hair with "Dawn" dish washing soap a few times and it really helped. You might have to use some extra conditioner but it will take some of the color out. Good luck! (06/26/2006)

RE: HAIR DYE DISASTER!
Poor dear. Why would you want to dye a lovely auburn colour? Ah, well. Maybe look on the box for an 800 or 888 number. A website (theirs) if they have one? But I say a professional would be best. (06/27/2006)

RE: HAIR DYE DISASTER!
I did the same thing and even with the black color! I called a friend and she called her beautician. You have to wet your hair and make a sort of paste on your head using dawn dish detergent and baking soda. Let it sit for about 10 minutes and wash it out. Repeat. It took about 5 times but the dye was running down the drain.
Also, I had gotten dye on the edges of my forehead and face. I used the same "paste" and it even got that off. When I went back to work, someone was looking at my hair, squinted her eyes and said, "You've done something to your hair." I thought oh no, here we go... she asked me if I had gotten it cut! So paste it on and good luck! (06/27/2006)

RE: HAIR DYE DISASTER!
Before adding any other chemicals (i.e. colour remover - but baking soda should be safe) I'd call the manufacturer of the hair dye. If you don't still have the box, go back to the store and find one. It should have a phone number on the box to call and they should be able to help you out. I'm sure yours won't be the first call they've had about this sort of thing! (06/27/2006)

RE: HAIR DYE DISASTER!
i just had a nightmare with some hair colour stripper and dye. I went to the hairdressers today and she told me I have to have it repigmented or something, so please just bite the bullet and go to a salon for any more colouring. My stylist told me if you keep colouring your hair it'll get saturated and go a grey/green colour! Try and get the black out naturally with washing up liquid, it really does work but dries the hair so be sure to condition, and try to avoid using heat because that sets hair colour. I hope this helps a bit! (12/02/2006)
