do you think that would cover it

Answer 1

Okay Don't worry you are going to be fine. It is smart that you put the conditioner on your hair in the first place. What I suggest is that you don't do anything with your hair for two or three days. Wash your hair with luke warm water and a gentle shampoo and conditioner the 2 in 1. The next day or two don't wash your hair. Give it time to get back all its natural oils. Then after a few days have gone by finish what you started. Instead of using a medium brown hair color on your semi-bleached hair just use a toner to turn your hair into a light blonde. It is normal for black hair to turn orange after the first stage of bleaching. For black hair to be blonde you gotta do a double process bleach blonding. Bleached hair depending on its color the results can range from a pale yellow to a rusty orange. The orange and the brown hair color will merge poorly. Since you started the bleaching process just use a toner and you will be fine. After the toner if you want to stay blonde try exploring the rich loreal feria blondes such as #88 Blonde chiffon Medium Blonde #72 Caramel Kiss Dark iredescent blonde or #70 Shimmering sands Dark Blonde. Loreal Feria is a great color that is gentle on bleached hair. If you want to go brown try loreal feria #51 Brazilian Brown bronzed brown or the #50 havana brown Medium brown hair color. After the toner and color use a leave in conditioner as well as mayonnaise to make your hair shiny, reverse the damage, as well as add essential nutrients. Don't worry with these tips your hair will look healthy and fabulous.

Answer 2

I did the same exact thing a few years ago. I had to leave it alone for about 2 weeks then I went to a beauty college (I know they are amateurs but they are very cheap and the teachers always guide them so they won't screw up) I went in for a vitamin treatment and the next day they helped me fix my hair back to a somewhat normal color. It only cost me about $20 to do it all. I would try that, it worked on me and I was a single girl. So my hair was so important to me and I will never do that again plus I look bad as a blond. After I fixed my hair, I used Redken color extend shampoo and Redken All soft conditioner on my hair, the color extend helps the color stay longer but the All soft kept it feeling really soft. You can use any combo they tell you helps. But after you fix it a little leave it alone for at least 6 months. I hope this helps.

Answer 3

You still have hope.
Unless you're seeing alot of breakage you should be safe to dye it med. brown. Don't do anymore "bleaching" though it sounds like you've done enough for awhile now. Have you thought of streaking with med. brown and using a color rinse to change the "peach" color?
If you use the med. brown be sure to do a test strip first . Your bleached hair may "grab" the color resulting in a brown that's too dark.

Answer 4

If you dye it medium brown, it would not come out that color. You would have to go a little lighter in order to achieve that color since you put such a dark color in your hair at first. THEN, KEEP IT CONDITIONED AND LEAVE IT ALONE FOR AWHILE!!! lol Your hair will be damaged from all it's transitions.

Answer 5

don't try to bleach it again for now just deep condition with the best you got then in about 2 weeks dye it back to your natural hair color don't buy any color that have warm tones in it just get a color that is natural like 6N not a 6W 6 is med brown. so try the deep cond. with a plastic bag on under a hooded dryer... good luck!

Answer 6

well dont put any more hair dyes etc for about 2 weeks to let it recover from the damage it has.
dont worry your hair wont fall out but it will be damaged for a while.
just go ahead and dye it brown but use super moisterizing conditioners to help your hair not be dry afterwards.
good luck!

Answer 7

i have black hair and i dye it blonde but i had many an orange day before i got there, foils were the only way and as a top loreal stylest told me, the chemicals that they use on foils is much stronger than the one they can use on your scalp for the all over effect, so many foils close together witha root lift to make the black roots less obvious was my answer.

Answer 8

Let your hair rest.

if i were you, I would dye it light natural brown for now and add some highlights after a few weeks have passed. Honestly, if you don't know much about hair, I would save some money and see a professional, you don't want to end up with fried hair.

oh yeah. condition condition condition!

Answer 9

ok my acquaintances achieved precisely this! LOL:) her hairs very very broken now to the element that shes left it brown now. that's going to break your hair and the element with orange is that if its not your organic shade you will would desire to shop death it,making it much greater broken. yet once you're looking after it,dont straighten it too plenty,bypass away in conditioner each from time to time then that's ok. no remember if that's reddish now,attempt putting yet another blonde on it and it might bypass orangey ginger as you have already got brown and mahogany on it :) wish i helped.

Answer 10

if you keep dying it and messing up, its gonna damage your hair. even if you cant aford an ezpensive hair salon, you could try a cheap place and see how much it is to just go one all over color so it doesnt look as bad.
