can't decide between black or white

Post by starzphalling » Sat Sep 17, 2011 6:15 pm

I hope this is the right section to post in, sorry for my forum newbness :P

I'm going to dye my hair, but I can't decide between black or white/silver (preferably white though).

I was wondering if you guys could help me track down some pictures. What I'm looking for is pictures that have white as the base hair color, but with black dreads installed. Also looking for the opposite, black hair with white dreads installed. I've been able to track down some black hair with monochrome black to white dreads installed, but that's about all the luck I've had so far.

I really love the monochrome look, I'm just trying to figure out which color would a. best suit me, and b. give me the most versatility for different color installs. I'm leaning toward black, but I'd really like to find pictures like I stated above - I also love the all white look, gahhhhh so confused! Even pictures with a black or white base hair color, with random other colors installed, but not transitional from the base color. I hope this all made sense, and I'm looking forward to any help you guys can provide! Thanks in advance.

Also on a side note is it easier to go from white to black or black to white? As far as I know both would be horrible, one way you have nothing to hold the new pigment, the other way you are gonna destroy your hair getting the color out. Please help!!! :o

hehe thanks. I'm not sure I'm adventurous enough to go multi-colored again just yet. I've gone about 3.5 years without dying my hair, and I have the dying-nerves at the moment. I also blame the dying-nerves for not being able to decide between the two colors. I'm an information junkie, need to know all my options ahead of time :P

I've been lurking on these forums for far too long and you guys have become my panel of hair gods lol. Thanks for the reply and I look forward to any other help I can get.

Personally, I am a fan of black and white hair together. here is some links from ebay of different combinations you could try. But If you want just one color, Surround your face with black then white. (use like a sheet or clothing) See which one looks the best. For some people, one color could make them look washed out where the other color could bring their features.
White w/ black bangs:

Half & half:

White on top black on bottom:

It would be easier going from white to black only if you have good porosity. So if you want white hair, you would need to lighten all of your hair that color, then put a toner on, and have someone do your root touch ups for you. If you just keep bleaching your hair every time you need a touch up, you will fry your hair, and it you try to put color over it it will not hold very well. However if you want to go from black to blonde it could be easier if you do not ever use box color for black. You could go to sallys and get professional color and once again only do your roots when you need a touch up. If the black starts to fade, you could put black over it and leave it in for half the time you normally would. It all depends on how you plan on doing it. If you need any help or have questions you could pm me.

I found a picture of a wig that is white with black pieces of tubing around some of the dreads. It might give you an idea of what black hair with white dreads look like. http://www.flickr.com/photos/cinnamonsp ... 445361487/
