Hair Disaster?

Question

I recently had my dark brown hair highlighted 2 shades of blonde on the T section. I don't like it - it looks ok but its not really me so hence I want to turn them a chocolate brown to blend in better with my dark hair, only problem is I have spent all my money on having them put back in! I have spoken to Clairol and another well know hair dye company and have been told slightly different methods of changing it. The first being buy the most radiant red semi permanant dye I can find, slap it on then use a medium brown on top although she did warn me of the khaki effect, the other lady was like no dont put a red on at all just ise a permanent darker blonde like a caramel or honey blonde to tone it down, My hair is dry and horrible and I was stupid to do it in the first place but I really need it to be nice and shiny again for xmas. Believe me aint going to get no kisses under the mistletoe looking like this!

Answer 1

Go to the store and choose a colour you like. Put the colour only on your hair. DON'T add the processor. This will help the health of your hair.

Answer 2

The damage is done, you need deep moisturizing treatments and a haircut. If you try to put brown on top of the blonde highlights, they are going to come out with a green hue to them, don't do it! If you use a darker blonde or honey blonde, you are going to lighten all of your hair at the same time. If you like red, you can go that route, but be aware that the blonde highlights are going to be very red. If you want to return to a brown shade all over, you need to use a brown hue that has the term "ash" in it. This will prevent the green in appearance. Such as "dark ash brown, light ash brown". The best thing to do would be to wait till you have the money and see a professional, or return to the person who did your hair and tell them you don't like it and request it to be fixed. This should be done at no cost.

Once you put red into your hair it will stay a red tone nomatter how many times you try to color it. It will always eventually start to show red again. I made that mistake and the only way to get my chocolate brown back was to completely grow out the old color. Which takes quite a while if you have long hair. I am not an expert so I won't attempt to tell you what other options to try, but from experience I woill tell you don't try the red option you were told. Good Luck. One more quick sugestion. BioSilk works wonders to tame dried frizzy hair, just don't use too much. A dime size will do the trick.

My suggestion, try a tinting shampoo which will gradually change your hair color. This will allow you to decide if it's helping, or hurting. Try the dark brown and if it starts to darken the blonde sections, great. However, it will also darken the rest of your hair.

The shampoo is only $5 or so. It is not permanent, and will let you intensify the color, or decrease the color, depending on what you like.

Good luck!

I recommend hair masks to repair the hair, try VO5 hot oils, (in a little tube for one use cost about £2) they're great and make your hair silky smooth. For colour, I would recommend putting in a darker blonde to tone it in, you could try it out in a semi permenant colour first. You could also go to a hairdressers if you can, hope this helps :)

DONT do to any extent further bleaching. As you're burned attempt a crimson shampoo like impress touch of Silver, two times a week brightening shampoo. It turns bleached virgin hair white. Then concern with the comparable form of conditioner. it quite is decrease priced and accessible at Sally's and Ive considered it at Asda. There are different manufacturers of crimson shampoos too if this one isnt accessible like shimmer lights. As your hair is relatively porous now from bleaching it may take up the crimson too plenty which you dont choose, basically wash in the impress and wash out as we communicate away. If its no longer white save on with returned, bypass away a minute or so. try this till white. It final 2 to 3 days then you definately could wash returned. Use a protien or keratin reconstructor for breakage. Ion reconstructor at sallys yet severe st save manufacturers have them now too. you may have used a toner like guidelines white toner or Wella white woman with a low volume developer as quickly as you acquire to a diminished yellow. in case you utilize toners save on with the learning precisely as a results of fact such bleached hair is extremely porous and could take up too an excellent number of the violet or blue which takes days to bathe out.

I would put your colour and wear your hair up that way it won't be so noticeable. Also put on an oil based conditioner and leave it on your hair and it will look super -shiny ! Good Luck !

Answer 8

wow! sorry this happened to you, it also happened to me but worse. the lady ended up making me like a pinata with all of those different colors, so i asked her to redo it in one color, i choose brown and came out orange with black. so i dyed it myself and i like it so far.. it's light auburn. it cost me $100, that's how much she charged me to ruin my hair. anyways, you can stop by sally's beauty supply and get the ion brand of color defense it's an after-color sealing treatment and use it 3 times a week... color solution it is. ask and they will find it for you. it cost me $4.99 in washington state.
good luck! have a terrific merry christmas and a happy new year!

Answer 10

I suggest you go see a professional hairdresser. If you do it yourself and if the results are bad, you’ll still have to fix it. Better to see a professional hairdresser.
