general Need Help/Advice with hair dyeing/bleaching

[Rivulet 116]

Hello.

 

So I made this post because I want to dye my hair, but have no idea what I'm doing. 

So first off, I'm a guy, and my hair is kinda decently long, and I was going to get it cut only a couple inches and dye it in some way. The way I want to do it is kinda like how Boyinaband has it, but not necessarily with the color. Weird picture of him down there. v

So kinda like that, but the difference is that my hair is parted on my left and not so near the middle as his is, and mine is really dark brown instead of black. I was originally thinking having it like that though, but just a bleach streak until I decide if I like it enough to add color at some point idk. I want the advice of someone who knows what they're doing and saying about this because I have no idea. Sorry to have to make you visualize this, but would that kind of bleach streak look good on ~1.5ft dark brown hair? I think it would and some people don't think so, so I'm conflicted.

 

I've tried looking for pictures to show them what I mean, but I can't find literally any person with the kind of dye streak boyinaband has. So, if you know of any way to find pictures of it or anything, I'd ask you could plz send those too.

 

Sorry, I really have no idea what I'm doing or even looking for here  =P Thanks for the help

Disclaimer to say that I've never personally dyed my hair, however I would strongly advise you to go to a professional for something like this. I've seen some pretty bad dye jobs/fried hair, and the quality overall has been much better when I've compared friends who got their hair done professionally vs did it themselves. Part of it probably comes down to the quality of the dye a hair dresser has access to compared to what you'll find in a package on a store shelf, but it's not worth the risk imo!

I hope someone with more experience can answer your question more satisfactorily

Honestly, I want to do that, but around me, even if it's not a full on dye, it costs ~$60 for a dye. It's probably because they get the expensive stuff probably, so it makes sense I guess. Although if I can't get that extra cash, the original plan was for my sister to do it. I think she knows what she's doing, but yea, I don't really want to take that risk.
