Answer 1

To fix the problem have them like do two different colors on the top and then do little ones through out your hair. If you are wanting to go to your natural hair color and are scared of a dramatic transition slowly add your natural hair color in with the blonde. I have went for a blonde to a brunette personally and then back again several times. Going from one shade to a completely different one can be scary, but if that isn't for your do highlights and low lights of each mixed. Blonde might be looked at more by guys but some consider them to be dumb and brunettes are sexy just as well.

Answer 2

I used to bleach my hair. Yes, blondest blonde. I did this from the time I was 15 off and on untill 3 years ago. I'm 53 and I decided one day, that's enough. I used a darker color, stay away from any sort of 'ash' as this tends to do a green thing to your hair. Then I just quit using hair color and grew it out. I couldn't be happier. Yes, there's some gray in it(okay a lot), but it's the silver kind, so it's wonderfull highlights. I look so much better with my dark brown hair, especially with my green eyes. I was a dope to color it for so long, buying into all those 'girl' mags that really made us think 'Blondes have more fun'.
I'm doing just fine, naturally. Good luck, Hon. I know what you're going through.

Hello yeah im going though the exact same thing right now I was a natural brunnette and I went blonde I kept getting it rehighlighted for a few years and just a couple months ago i decided to go back natural well every color turns it either red or to dark if I were you I would get some brn chunks put in and let it start growing out

Answer 4

For now, apply a semi-permanent color that'll help even out the bright areas until you get to a salon. It'll wash out and won't damage the hair. I'm a natural brunette who has gone from dark to light to dark again. The secret is to go gradual. I went from light blonde to honey, to almost cocoa, to dark with highlights to completely dark. I do wear my hair short and get regular cuts and conditioning as well. A good colorist can do anything!

Answer 5

Hey! Brunettes have fun 2. But 1st off. Stop coloring your hair or seriously, it'll start 2 fall out, and get really fried. It looks ok @ 1st when u do a change like that, but just watch how much coloring u do, k? Try going with light lights.

Answer 6

Well, the salon will be able to tell you what you should do to fix it. I've never gone from brunette to blonde, but I have gone from blonde to red and red to blonde. It's a little shocking at first, but it's fun to change drastically. I like it. If you want to stay blonde, though, you should. Just tell the hair stylist what you want to do and they'll help you figure out how to do it.

Answer 7

Have them foil it, and do two different colors. One dying your hair back to natural, and the other bleaching highlights in.. This can all be done at once if you go to a good quality hair salon that knows what they are doing. They can fix it, but you will pay at least $100 for them to fix your goof ups. Happens all the time...no worries.

Answer 8

Just leave it until you see your stylist. If you want her to fix it back to blonde, dying it dark will make it harder for her and it'll cost you more money.

The highlight idea sounds like it might work, but you should try to get a quicker appointment.

Answer 9

Ask your hair stylist all these questions at the salon she will know best she is a professional and trust me she will be giving you the most honest advice.

Answer 10

my friend went from very very blonde to dark brown and it turned out fine but it dried out her hair, you should get pro. done or do it gradually darker blonde all the way up to however dark you want it to.
