Can you dye your hair blond using peroxide?
Answer #1: You can, but it is damaging to the hair and makes it an unnatural color. Answer #2: Peroxide does not "dye" your hair, but rather it strips the colour from your hair, so it does become a blond colour and that is how you see people with white-blond hair. However it is always recommended to add a coloured dye (even blond) to the hair after applying the peroxide - this puts some nutrients back into the hair and protects it from breaking. If you use peroxide too often it could lead to hair damage and breakage.

Will hydrogen peroxide open the hair shaft to increase hair dyeing effectiveness?
First, hydrogen peroxide you buy at the store is damaging for your hair. Second ,it is not the same as peroxide developer in hair dyes. Third, opening the hair shaft will make your color fade faster. Plus it could change the color of the dye you are putting on. The question was true. Yes hydrogen peroxide opens the cuticle of the hair to allow the dye to penetrate it. Peroxide is an alkaline substance with a base of about 9. It opens the cuticle so that the colour can be deposited in the hair. If you didn't use peroxide your colour wouldn't last long.

How does hair dye work?
Temporary dye: It lies on the outside of the hair, not changing the colour but looks like a change and it can be washed off straight away because of this. It has no peroxode in it. It doesn't cover gray effectively. Semi permanent dye: It also has no peroxide in it but it sits under the cuticle (the outside layer of the hair) and doesn't physically change the colour of the hair. It lasts 6-8 weeks. It doesn't cover gray effectively. Quasi permanent dye: It has a small amount of peroxide in it and it enters the cuticle and sits just inside it. Peroxide makes it swell and opens the cuticle of the hair. It changes the physical colour a little. It can last up to 24 weeks. It can cover gray. Permanent dye: It has more peroxide in it and it makes the colour go into the cortex (main part of the hair inside the cuticle). It takes the natural colour out and deposits the new colour in there. This is permanent so you have to wait for this colour to grow out to see your natural colour again. Will cover gray effectively.

Pink hair still pink after using 40 volume cream peroxide what to do next its been on for one hour and still pink?
Wash it over and over until it comes out. If this does not work, go to the hair salon and ask to have your hair dyed the colour you originally had or whatever you want it to be. Next time don't use volume 40, try 20 or 25. It doesn't matter about the peroxide. The reason it might not come out is because your hair is porous/damaged. It is common for colour to stick in your hair then. You can go to the salon and have them fix it for you but I think the only thing that you can do is dye over the pink.
