When your colorist put color on your hair, did she do it twice? Like one dye, wash it out, then another dye on top of that?





If so, it was bleached, if not, it wasn't!Highlighted, donate hair to Locks of Love?
From what I understand, they don't accept any hair that has had any kind of colour treatments at all, and I am not sure about permanents either. The reason being that it's not virgin hair, and requires special handling. This adds considerably to the cost, as well as looking poor in a short time. The hair will not continually grow and it cannot be trimmed.





Any permanent hair colouring treatment will bleach your hair. That is a given. It must. The colouring chemicals contain bleach and tint in one operation. The hair cannot be coloured without the bleach. They don't tell you that because who really cares, but it's important to know. Even black has bleach in it. (I know -- too weird)





When it fades, or you remove the artificial colour, there is none of your own natural hair colour left in the hair, or it will mostly be the orange/gold that you have since red colours are the hardest to bleach out. When your lovely brown fades, the blue comes out first, leaving only the red/orange or the brassiness that we all know. It's not that the colour turns brassy, but that the blue has been washed out, and your own orange is what is showing through. (study the colour wheel)





A semi-permanent colour will not bleach your hair, but you cannot get lighter colours with it.
I didn't think that Locks of Love accepted hair that had been color-treated at all, bleach or no? If that isn't the case though, your answer is simple. Ask the person that colored your hair if bleach was involved (a hint: if the red is lighter than you natural color then you have your answer.) Good luck!
The hair you donate must be ';virgin'; hair. No bleaches, dyes, etc.
