Answer 1

first let me say you hair will not go green, this only applies if you have a different shade on your hair & you are trying to bleach it. Bleaching strips you hair of its natural pigmentation so depending on what shade brown you are after this is quite an easy process. May I first say chose a shade from the l'oreal they are indeed the best, they have everything you need from the dye its self to the conditioner you need for the after care .invest in a quality shampoo/conditioner for your coloured hair recommended redkin colour extend, you cant miss it in red bottle, not a lot of shops sell this so better to find it on there site.....Do not go for colours that have there own seperate bottle of extra boost colour, these will be far to strong on bleached hair & after a while fade & leave your hair looking dry & awful looking so please be advised.... mocha is a nice colour dark brown & stays glossy using the product mentioned earlier. Hope this is helpful

You need to see a professional, as I am one, and the hair needs to first be filled. You cannot just put any color on and have it look right. When you are bleached, the cuticle of the hair is open, and all color molecules have been chemically removed. A single process will not get you accurate results, and the color will not even hold, because the cuticle will not just seal itself. When you bleach, you remove all of the natural pigment in the hair (blonde:yellow, light brown: orange and yellow, dark brown: red) Therefore: It makes a HUGE difference what shade you are looking for.... Further, you need to fill the hair with the lost pigment first...... This will give your desired color something to hold on to. This first process is known as FILLING the hair. Usually done with a Demi Permanent color..... and if going brown, you would use a light brown/blonde shade composed of yellows and oranges....... As this is what naturally your hair would have......... NEXT... based on the color your hair turns (there is no predicting.... as this is chemical reaction that depends on the severity of damage done to your hair in lightening..... You would put on a dilluted permanent formula in the color you want to achieve....... Most probably cancelling out whatever funky tones your hair picked up in the demi permanent process..... As the hair is now in fragile state, your hair usually takes to this permanent process within five minutes. This takes quick professional hands, and a professional eye to determine how fast to take it off... I usually do this over the sink, as a minute too long, and you still have color correction on your hands, as your hair will now absorb the pigment very quickly.... If left too long, and appears to dark, now you need to de cap the hair with a bleach solution over the sink.... usually takes a few seconds, but professional hands, and a watchful eye as well...... Does this sound like something you want to get into??? Don't listen to the others.... i speak from experience, and too many times spend 8 hours with clients that have done this at home correcting their color...... Corrective bills are in the hundreds, and many long hours..... Right now you can avoid all of this..... by going to the salon, and you'l;ll be out in an hour with your desired color. good luck, hope this helps

Answer 3

Stay away from any colors that are ash in tone. It has green undertones, and will give your hair a green tint. If you want to go back to brown try something with a golden or a red undertone since as a bleached blonde your hair lacks the red pigments.

Answer 4

it is very easy to go from blond to brown...pick out a color at the store that you like (i would opt for a little more expensive brand to make sure the quality is better) and follow the directions! make sure you have a friend around helping you though to make sure you dont miss any of the pieces...if its your first time it might be smart to either save the extra color for an hour or so or buy a second box to do touch ups at the end. also, if you have a LOT of hair, really thick or really long it might be a good idea to get two boxes to make sure you have enough. good luck!

Answer 5

I'm not sure but I know if you want it light to medium brown you will need a really dark brown. Esspeically because it washes up alot too. I know this girl who had bleached blonde hair and she put a medium brown in it and it came out like a gray colour. So she went back to bleached blonde lol. good luck xxx

Answer 8

nicely, i could propose which you bypass to a expert as there's a severe possibility of you doing severe damadge on your hair, believe me! The brown pigment set on your hair cuticles will prepare complicated to do away with and bleach could extra develop the damadge with the aid of making them brittle and turning your hair orange. there is not any risk-free technique to accomplish at abode while death your hair to blonde quite once you're a organic brunette or had your hair at present colored brown. in spite of everything, in case you nonetheless choose to purpose it at abode, seek for professional propose formerly attempting something at abode. you could ask a expert for some the thank you to revert on your orignal hair colour.

Answer 9

you need to neutralise your hair first. if you dont then the dye will react with the bleach in your hair and it will most likely go a nice shade of green!! you can probably buy a solution to do this but its probably better to try and go to the hairdressers.

In the event that your hair does go green soak your hair in ketchup as it will take the green out, same thing if it happens after swimming
