hair color

how do you go about getting that one shade of hair people with dreads seem to have a lot? idk, hard to describe, but it's like a light brownish-blond mix i guess, kind of darker but shaded to look light (? did that even make sense?) hopefully someone knows what i'm talking about.

 

most peoples hair goes like that after spending alot of itme in the sun

 

kind of a light as brown maybe or dirty blond? you buy the dye or are born with it.

 

Do you mean how the tips seem to fade and be lighter then the rest of the hair? Pretty sure that just happens over time to the older hurrz

 

yeah, that's what i was talking about. thanks chaos.

 

you have to risk your pasty complexion and get out in the sun sometimes

 

i'm half irish, half italian (i think). it's physically impossible for me to tan i'm pretty sure. unfortunately.

 

Yeah sun. Also without the conditioner and protection most people have in their hair -especially if you rinse with lemon juice, and sun dry I'd bet it is a lot easier to get sun faded/highlighted dreads
.
Wear sunblock for your skin though

 

umm i know plenty of darrrrk italians.
and im part irish myself.
really, all u have to do is mow ur lawn with out a shirt on and u'll get darker.

 

Coulda just inherited the irish completion- same as I only seem to have inherited the french pasty skin instead of any of the other mish mosh of genetic easier tanning skin(or the irish ginger insta burn freckle skin my sis got)..

With pale skin you gotta e careful. Outside mowing lawn with no shirt is asking for a nasty sunburn and THAT is upping your skin cancer risk.Do go outside, do go out in the sun as much as possible but I woudn't play without sunblock(you can still get a little tan,and sunkissed with sunblock)-
but hey if you do aloe will be nice on hair and skin

..says the pale ass Florida girl who has had too many burns

 

I'm Irish and I get a tan^___^does anyone on here have the colour you want to compareararaite?

 

i never imagined anyone would aspire to have dirty blonde hair.
i feel so great about my dirty blonde hair now

 

Im almost albino white, or so it seems in comparison to people here who are between gold and light brown, Im just your average white guy but sinve my schedule is upside down and I wake up at around 4pm if not later I dont get much sun which makes me paler, and malnutricion pays a part.... Im starting to realize why most people think Im a junkie...

 

where in Italy? my bf is Sicilian and he is DARK, I always thought italians were dark.

 

italians tan.. dont they

but im sure the irish part screwed u over

it was sunny here , for like 2days , bout a month ago... and my skin is still peelin

 

same. My aunt married an Italian and they're whole fam is pretty dark

 

yeah, it's like i got the worst of both. fuckin gigantic italian nose, pasty pale irish skin. kinda sucks, i go to school in miami and come home just as white. and it's not like i avoid the sun either. it's just that nothing happens.

 

you need longer hair for the fade effect. its cause by the hair being far from the scalp and not recieving oils. Loses its pigment. A summer in the sun will do the job

 

ah, thanks pat. i wonder how long it'd have to be though. i think right now is the longest i've had my hair though, so we'll see i guess.

 

My hair doesn't fade so I bleached the tips.
