Today a friend of a friend coloured my hair. Well, i wanted a base colour of brown with blonde hi lights. She used a cap (her 1st time using this) and i think she pulled too much hair thru cos what has happened is that most of my hair is blonde.........what is the best way to get rid of most of the blonde, i just want hi lights not the majority of my head blonde? Is it possible to use the cap again and pull some hair thru only this time just use the brown, would that work or what is the best thing to do? Any tips would be gratefully received please.

If you are going to wrap the blonde you want to keep in foil or use the cap, please make sure that you use a reddy brown first and then the use another brown.
If you put brown straight over the blonde you will get a green tinge from your hair.
Also, don't forget that when you wash your hair it will eventually fade from the blonde.
Using the red colour will help counteract this problem.

I have been a hairdresser for about 14 years and from my experience what I suggest is for 1 go to a hairdresser to get them to help you. You have to be very careful what colour you use because you don't want the blonde to go a greenish tone. My advice is to use foils weave out the amount of blonde you want to remain. (Apply a bit of conditioner in the foils to keep it there.) Then with the hair not in foils apply red not to much just enough to cover let it dry in. Then apply the brown base colour you want. You might have to redo this in a couple of months again to get it to hold. It will probably fade very quickly there is nothing you can do about that. Hope it works out well for you.

You can foil the blonde bits that you want to keep and re dye the rest or make it all go brown again but you will need to put a red base down before the brown or your hair can go green

i recently have done this too you have two options mainly number 1 is go to a hairdressers and ask them to put some low lights in its depending on whether u used a highlift tint or bleach number two i actually went and bought a rich chocolate brown, pulled some of my hair through the cap and re coloured them with the brown i would strongly recommend you going to seek advice from a salon to be honest or i know from beiing a student colleges and salons are always on the lookout for models to pass assignments with they could use yours as a level 3 student for a colour correction at a fraction of the price that salons charge

Danielle is right, also test the colour first on a piece of the blonde hair before doing all of it.

absolutley! depending on how much you pulled out before, reverse it with less hair. you can acheive this by taking a ordinary nailfile to sharpen the needle that the kit comes with. most of the time those kits give you a needle that will pull out a big chunk rather than a slinder one. if she pulled every hole, make it every other this time. just make sure you choose a darker color (like 1-2 shades) than what you originally started with because if you don't the darker color will fade out.

you can foil out the blonde with brown, you have to know what your doing though go to a professional.
