Logistics of dying my hair blue?

I think you should do it your self, it's really not hard to do and a hairdresser would cost a lot and possibly not have the colour you want.

Bleach it first and then use crazy color dye, and use a shampoo for coloured hair afterwards or it will fade really quickly! Good luck!!

Go to hairdressers, they'll bleach it for you. Then I would suggest trying http://www.boots.com/en/Bleach-Super-Cool-colours-Out-Of-The-Blue_1401434/?CAWELAID=620000410000021990&cm_mmc=pla-_-google-_-Boots+Beauty-_-Beauty+-+PLAs&kw=%7Bkeyword%7D&cagpspn=pla on it which is a wash out one just to check you do want to go blue (because otherwise getting back to natural colour would mean a lot of permanent dye which wouldn't be great. If so either buy an over the counter blue or go get hairdresser to do it.

Full head is normally actually cheaper than a full head of highlights although I know some places charge more for bleaching. Also your roots would come through quite noticeably so something to consider. Best to ring salons as well to see if they would charge you for getting to blue or whether you'd have to pay for bleach then blue?

PRSOM.

Pretty certain I want it blue, plus my hair grows annoyingly quickly so I'd only have a couple of months of looking stupid if it went horribly horribly wrong. If I did want to dye it back, would it be easier to go for black rather than my natural dark brown?

Question: Can you bleach dark hair then dye it all in one sitting, or do you have to bleach one day and then dye later?

I have very dark brown hair, almost black, and I'm thinking of having it dyed a nice strong blue colour at the hairdresser's. Could anyone tell me how they'd go about doing this (I assume it'd need bleaching first?), rough cost of full head versus highlights, and what it might look like once it's started fading (what colour would it go, and would it be easy to dye it back to my natural hair colour?).

If anyone happens to know a decent hairdresser in Manchester that'd be good too.

I would imagine it is better for your hair to bleach it then wait for a bit. Also takes AGES to dye hair so would be a VERY long trip to hair dressers.

Pretty easy to go back to dark brown, although you might get blue tints still showing through in some lights.

Hi!
I have very dark brown hair too, and I had it bleached and dyed at the hairdressers the first time, then just my roots after that (I top up the colour every few weeks myself). At my hairdressers the all over colour is much cheaper than highlights, and they don't charge me for the bleaching, counting both bleach and blue as one colour, but obviously it is different everywhere.
What colour it goes when fading depends on the brand of dye you use (you can either take your own to the hairdressers, or they may have a brand they endorse). Personally, after trying lots of brands I now use Manic Panic 'Rockabilly Blue' for my blue sections, which goes a beautiful colour and takes ages to fade - when it does, it just turns turquoise, then eventually white if you don't fix it. Other brands vary: Amongst others, I've used Directions 'Lagoon Blue' (I think that's what it's called) and it fades very quickly to a grey colour, Fudge 'Electric Blue', which fades very quickly to light blue/green, and Crazy Colour 'Bubblegum Blue' which fades slowly but turns grey.
Honestly, different brands vary by colour and individual hair types - your hairdresser may recommend one for you. Trial and error seems to work best...

Further and probably blindingly obvious question: what do I ask for? I looked on a couple of websites and they were talking about tints and full heads and half heads and confusion. How do I say I want all my hair dyed bright blue in hairdresser speak (looking up prices ATM)?

Repped and worshipped for life!

Just say you want your hair dying blue
It should dye back normal fine
But be warned the bleach may kill it
