How can I make my bright orange roots the same color as the rest of my hair???? HELP!!!!?

Question

I'm the biggest retard for trying to do my hair by myself at home. I "tried" to highlight it yesterday myself with an Herbal Essence kit and it turned out terribly with bright yellowy chunks all over my head. Then today I dyed it a nuetral blonde. The color came out great everywhere but my roots and my highlights which ended up turning into a bright orange!! So I went back out and bought a dark brown shade, hoping to cover the orange roots. Now it's even worse! my roots are a darker orange while the rest of my hair is almost black! Please help!! What can I do to fix this??? Dye it again??? I really would like it to be a dark blonde if possible, with my roots being the same color as the rest of my hair. Any help would be very much appriciated!!!! Thanks!!!!

Answer 1

The first thing you need to do is stop putting more stuff on your hair. You need to go to a professional who has done longer than a day or two and preferably a color specialist. Everything that is already on your hair, including your own natural hair color contributes to the color you put on. The only way you are going to get dark blond is to remove the color and tone. Do not attempt this at home. Very bad idea. I charge double and sometimes more for corrective color and the more you do to it at home, the harder it's going to be for a colorist to fix it. Most reputable salons give complimentary consultations so call a salon in your area with a good reputation and make an appointment for a consultation. They will look at your hair, assess it's condition, and discuss with you what can be done and how much it will cost. You can decide by the consultation if you trust the stylist enough to set up an appt. for the corrective service. If you don't, say "thanks, I'll check my schedule and call later for an appt." and move on to the next salon for another free consultation. Don't be afraid to ask lots of questions and discuss your budget openly. Good luck.

The brand "Nice N Easy" is supposed to have that color-matching formula, so that should make it look a bit better. If that doesn't work, you may have to go to a hair salon. One color is really not that much, probably about forty dollars, depending on where you go. And from now on, let someone else do the highlighting at home kits. Then you'll be able to tell if your hair is done or not.

Answer 3

I would recommend going to a professional colorist and having them strip all the color out of your hair and then reapplying the color you want. My mother always told me to never dye my hair myself...that advice has worked for me for 40 years...no matter how broke I am I will not break down and do it myself. Consider this a lesson well learned! Poor thing...

Answer 4

hi,
please don't put anything else on your hair. once your hair has grabbed a color to a black stage, its time for a professional to fix all this. if your new growth (roots) is orange, it has already been lifted in color... you risk your hair breaking right there if you put anything else on it that has "lift" in it. ie, color stripper or bleach.
for what you paid for all these products, you could have had your hair colored professionally. please, make an appointment!
good luck!

quit messing with your hair ..... or it will fall out! give it time to grow in & next time get it done by a professional - or at least go to Sally's and buy your color and they will help you figure out how to fix it.......
