(Gay thread alert) Dying hair white

Scuzi · 13 Sep 2009 at 16:18

Has anyone dyed their hair white? When I say white I don't mean really light blonde, I mean pure white with no hue at all.

If so, what does it involve? From the research I have done so far it appears to be quite difficult to do and bad for your hair if not done properly. I'm assuming a professional salon is the best route to take - how much would one expect to pay?

So yeah, if you've been through this fill me in on the details.

Don't do it unless your 100% sure!
I was very drunk (I have James May-like hair if I leave it dry and look normally) and somebody put white streaks in my hair (I was at a hair dresser-friends' party) and now guess where my hair always seems to get dread-locks every morning.. My hair conditioner spending has tripled trying to make it not tangle so much.

It's hard and it ruins your hair, if done incorrectly it will fall out, and there are some people that it just isn't possible as it won't take to the hair.
It also usually takes more than one try, and is gradually done over time else it will go horrible and fall out.

It would be best to go to a reputable salon that knows what they are talking about, not a backstreet kit pack job.

Just wait 60+ years and if you still have it, I virtually guarantee it'll be white.

Depends how dark your hair is to begin with. No chance of getting it white if you're naturally darker brown/black.

Go to salon, purchase high strength peroxide.
Mix peroxide 50/50 with shampoo
Shampoo into hair and leave for 30 minutes or so
Repeat until white
Sob at the hideous condition of your hair

If you do this you must photograph yourself with a pipe wearing a smoking jacket and a crevat. It'll form the basis for the new 'Hi, I'm Scuzi' pic.

I tried years ago and ended up bright orange.

This was the day before I went to Scotland for a weekend!

I know a guy at work who is starting to go grey, and he can't be more than 25. Moral of the story: be careful what you wish for.

I haven't succeeded, I ended up blond, but my housemate got closer, he bleached 2-3 times iirc and then used some weird purple stuff, the purple stuff did something to counteract the yellow colour of his hair, making it turn pseudo white..

Good luck.

Why is it that you are doing this anyway?
