some of the thai guys here (god only knows why, i dont dye my hair) want to dye their hair red (like the henna the israeli women do)... we tried twice with natural henna but it doesnt really come out red...

how do thai women dye their hair ?? do they peroxide first, or are there brands (clairol, et al) that work on black (fuzzy issaan man's longish hair, not silky smooth ) ?? they dont want carrot red, i guess the deep red

are there thai brands especially for this (like black afro hair type products for instance_)

I have seen boxes here for Asian hair, so yes, they do have it. Clairol or L'oreal, can't be sure. Don't know how well it works tho. They could end up with orange hair!

I dont have any experience about that stuff na ka, but i just ran to the Beauty Salon, and ask her ..if Black hair as Thai wanna do Red,what'd we do..

she told me that ..it's necessory to use hydrogen peroxide fisrt and then dye with color that we want (in case that we want to make light color as blonde,red)

thanx both of u

thats what i suspected also-- the peroxide bit... probably the clairol stuff has it all mixed so like a two step thing....

last time they did aubergine/deep purple blue which looked brilliant on the guys with silky hair but not so good on the guys with the more laos type hair (thick and coarse like a horses tail)

is this common (dyeing hair) among city guys also (not punk style peroxides, but all over colour?)

A lot of older Thai men dye their hair.

Maybe to look younger for the mia nois?

never known any younger thai guys dying their hair (some older guys with short hair, yes) but would really discourage then from doing it as peroxide is so damaging to black hair & the outgrowth would be awful.

Bina - the aubergine/purple color was popular among Thais when younger people started to dye their hair. You still see some around, but more red tones nowadays. How about highlight on just the tips for the course hair type - it can work well using reddish tone.....

one of the nephews dyes his fringe red...he is a disrespectful 16 year old punk (in the pejorative sense) and no longer welcome in our house...

If I could save them from dyeing, I would.. Mai dye, mai dye.

well, my daughter bought the green henna (which dyes hair red) and we did the mixture (egg, henna, olive oil, and water), put on hair and had the guy sleep all night with shower cap -- no real red

, the next day, did again on ends, they came out slightly rusty coloured... dont know whly since on yemen and mnorrocan hair types (similar coarse blackish/dark brown) the henna works well.....

peroxide definate no no

all these guys seem to like to dye their hair, even redying it raven black , the minute they see a grey hair....when they see a grey hair in my alpaca type tresses, they pull it out (ouch!)....

will check out the clairol type things

the thing is, some of the guys grow their hair out from the time they come to israel until they go home, like marking the passage of time... so outgrowth would be awful; others, when drunk at parties, suddenly use the #2 on the hair clippers, so proper hair care is not in vocab....

Bina, they are men. Don't think proper hair care is in any of their vocabularies
