I have dark brown hair and my tips are lighter than my roots and I don't understand. I want all

I have not highlighted my hair in a really long time, so it's definitely not because it's "growing out". I just want all my hair to be the same dark brown as most of it is. The ends are very light brown, even though I got a trim about a week ago. The ends are pretty much always lighter. Please help! Thanks. (oh and please don't tell me to dye my hair or cut all my hair off)

Well without dyeing your hair, or cutting the light bits out I'm not sure how you expect your hair to become a uniform colour?

The ends of your hair are lighter than the roots for the following reasons:

The ends of your hair have been exposed to the daylight for a much longer period of time than the roots and daylight slowly strips the pigment from your hair.

The ends of your hair are older, drier and more damaged than the roots, and this means the ends are more porous than the roots (cells are missing and the hair shaft is more penetrable). Porous hair is more susceptible to bleaching by daylight and by chlorine in swimming pools.

The ends of your hair are not protected from damage and dryness by the secretions (grease) from your scalp like the roots of your hair are. Also grease from your scalp can make your roots appear darker.

So you can't change the hair colour you already have without dyeing or cutting, but you can prevent your natural colour from fading in future by keeping your hair well protected from UV rays with a sunscreen product all year round - wear a hat or scarf in really sunny weather. You should keep your hair well moisturised and in good condition and it will be less porous and susceptible to colour fade - lay off the straighteners and the blow-drier whenever you can. Also keep you hair clean so the roots aren't greasy.

Unless your hair is really short, I don't believe you'll ever have one color without dying it. Your ends will naturally lighten on their own over time as your hair gets longer and gets more exposure to UV rays, etc.

it can be the sun and if you put heat to your ends it can do the trick, maybe get your hair highlighted and see what happens next

hahah..im not going to tell you to cut your hair off..but I will tell you what the problem is. If you do dye your hair you are probably only using semi perm. color because it is less damaging and it fades over time. The lightness in your hair is just from the sun even when its not out it highlights your hair..thats what it does to mine too its a pain..

also your ends must be lighter because they are thinner. my suggestion to make it less frusterating is to have ur hair dresser put semi perminate color in...if u dont want to just deal with..its no fun but yup!

Try looking really closely at your ends, because they might be split ends. I have dark brown hair and i have some split ends on the bottom so my tips get lighter. Theres this stuff called Profective, you put it in your hair and it helps split ends and breakage. I swear it works. My ends are getting darker cuz my split ends are going away.

You should consult a hair stylist for their advise because we can't help you. We will tell u what u don't want to hear. See what a stylist will tell you about the color and what u can do about it. Good Luck.

Its may be your genes so if your grandad or your dad or may be your mother might have dark hair or maybe you coloured it it might be the answer
