Is there a way to "reverse" bleached hair?

Question

I just bleached my hair with L'Oreal Feria Bleach Blonding, and I dont like it is there a way to have it like "removed" or something, I want I original hair color back lol

Answer 1

If you gone from dark to blond you will feel strange at first, it a big change it takes time to get used to it, blond is a nice colour i would give it two weeks before dying it back to your original colour. you probably find you look washed out and very pale that's why you don't like it,
It happened to me and a friend until we found out to get some fake tan on your faces or even go on the sunbeds, i swear that will make an amazing difference you will be surprised, unless you just haven't lifted it enough and you gone orange well that's a whole different story.

Answer 2

It is called tint back, done everyday, not a big deal. The only reason to wait is if it is damaged and in need of protein.The hair is protein, and any time it is lightened you are taking away and making the hair finer and more fragile. If this is the case use protein treatments for 3-4 days depending on damage. This will strengthen the hair and give color something to hold on to. If your natural level is 3 or more shades darker you will have to fill the hair first. This adds missing primary pigment and prevents hair from turning drab or green, so to speak. Fillers are usually a semi permanent with a red pigment. The level of color should be in the middle of your blonde and natural. Ex. Blonde hair is level nine, natural is level 7 filler should be an 8r or even ro.

Never let anyone fool you into thinking coloring it darker will damage it. Quite the opposite. If you are depositing, you are adding and if done correctly, meaning 10 volume or less , it will be beautiful.

Good formula is Shades EQ by REDKEN. 3 Steps.

First use 1/4 ounce of 6aa, with 3/4 ounce 9g. process 20.
Then use 1/4 ounce 6aa, 1/4 ounce 8wg, 1/2 ounce 9g. process 20. Last is 3/4 ounce 6g, 1/4 ounce 9g, 1/2 ounce clear. process 20. Foolproof beautiful caramel brown.

Answer 3

If you just bleached your hair then I wouldnt put color on it right away, that would be double processing your hair and could cause some real damage. When coloring or bleaching your hair it shrinks your hair which causes it to break. So be careful. Depending on what you natural color is you should use a semi permanent hair color. Try not and go too dark or you hair could pick up the base of the color being your hair is very porous now from the bleach. Try using a color a couple shades lighter than your natural. Then you can gradually color you hair back to your natural color. Good Luck

Answer 4

Well you could get the colour stripped off but that would cost you about 100 pounds or sumfin it is really expensive.

BUT......................

I am a hairdresser and if my clients dont want to pay that much money then I use tomato ketchup on there hair. I put it on for about 20-30 minutes and it takes most of the colour out and it only costs them 10-15 pounds just repeat this over a few weeks and shortly your hair should be back to its normal colour in no time? (NB only do this once a week and it does depend on your hair syle eg thivk thin fair dark so be careful) {YOU MAY WANT TO TEST ON ABIT OF HAIR THAT IS NOT VISIBLE?}

Answer 5

ooo. bleaching your hair is like removing the top coat. it's actually eating into your hair. so if you just bleached your hair.... your hair is like extremely fragile at the moment. not to mention weak..

soo i'd suggest you let your hair 'rest' for a couple of days. make sure to wash with conditioner everytime. that will help to restore the moisture lost during bleaching.

and about changing back to your original hair colour.. what colour is it btw? ((:

cause different colours might end up not as you expected on bleached hair. like if originally you were a red head .. it might just end up orange. but colours with a red base should stay though..if you get what i meant. lol

If originally you were a brunette and you want to go for a cheap alternative. i suggest 'hanna'.if you've heard of it. comes in powder form. VERY cheap and it works too. i bleached my hair once and just a touch of hanna, it turned it black just the way it was. (hanna comes in brown too i think.)

but if other wise. it would be safer to consult your hair dresser... just in case something goes wrong and you end up bald . =D

Answer 6

When a person bleaches their hair it strips out the pigment, when a person goes lighter in any form it does this. If you can't go to a stylist, make sure you get some kind of color with a red type base in it or it may turn green.

Answer 7

you cant remove bleach as it has stripped the natural pigment from your hair and so if you re-dye it back to your normal colour then this will fade within about a week because it cant hold on to any colour pigment and will need colouring consistently until the natural pigment comes back into your hair.
go to your nearest salon and see what they say, also maybe you should have had as consultation and had the bleaching done professionally before thinking about going totally blonde.
good luck

Answer 8

the bleach takes the colour out of your hair so you can't remove it. The best soloution will be to go to the hairdressers and explain the situation. If you try and correct it yourself your hair may come out green or red. it will cost more money but it will be fixed

Answer 9

Once you take the color out it's gone.

Kinda like bleaching your clothes.

You can deposit color on it but I would be very careful....you should probably get a professional to do it because your hair could break off or worse fall out.

Answer 10

first put a red tone hair colour on, then put a brown colour on at least 24 hours later!! if you don't put a red tone on then the bleach will throw of any other colour you put on it and can also make it look karki!! and you must leave it at least 24 hours as too much hair colour in one go isn't good for your hair!!
