AND Which would last long? Say I highlight my hair to a really light brown, or I dye my hair to a really light brown, which would last longer?Which is healthier than the other? Dying hair or highlighting hair?
Are they not made of the same or similar chemicals??? sh**!!...Anyways, you could dye your hair brown and then highlight it an even lighter brown and see which product fades first!Which is healthier than the other? Dying hair or highlighting hair?
Neither are healthy for your hair - both are damaging. It definitely depends on what kind of look you're wanting to achieve, you could go for all over highlights / a full head of highlights if you want some dimension and not all over the exact same colour. With highlights, it'll also last longer or you can go longer until your next appointment as it'll look more natural when your hair is growing back and roots won't be as big of a problem. With dying your hair, you'll get a colour without dimension and it'll be an all over even shade / the same colour. The roots will be more noticeable when growing back this way, but if you want that all over look then this will be your best option.


Hope this helps :)
When you lighten or bleach your hair, it is kind of sucking the pigment out of your hair, therefore weakening it. Highlights don't ';wash out';, because what they are doing in the first place is ';washing'; the color out.





Coloring your hair adds pigment, and will wash out at least a little. It is the healthier choice.


However, to go from dark to light, whatever you use will have some kind of ';bleach'; in it to remove the color.
they both last till your hair grows out, since you will be using permanent color, that's the only way to go lighter, and highlights just keep getting blond. Dying is less harming to your hair rather than bleaching. You can do highlights using a dye, you don't necessarily need to use bleach.
well they both last about the same amount cause your hair does grow out. but highlights are only parts of your hair and dyeing would be your whole head of hair. so i say small high lights. its easier to hide when they grow out and you dont have to constantly tough up your roots.
