If I've done 4 processes on my hair in 3 months will another process be detrimental to my hair?

Question

I dyed my hair at home then dyed a month later with at home dye to try to fix it. Still looked bad... brassy... so I went into a stylist to get it fixed. I asked if he needed to strip it to get the copper out and he said that hi-lights alone should fix it. So another month after the 2nd dye-job I got hi-lights. THAT didn't get the brassiness out so I went in a few days later for a toner. It is now DAAAARK brown and a total waste of money and healthy hair that I got the hi-lights. I'm going to ask him to fix it again but is my hair going to be dead after all of this processing? My hair was completely natural 4 months ago.

Answer 1

You need to get some conditioning treatments. Shampoo and rinse, then condition, don't rinse...wrap head in plastic wrap and wait 15 minutes. The heat from your scalp will open the cuticle of your hair strands and allow moisture in. Rinse in COOL water to close the cuticle. Use professional products like Sleek by Matrix. It is pH balanced for your hair.

If you just got the toner, be patient. A toner will fade out in a short time and your highlights will show through. Wait 4-6 weeks, when your highlights are starting to show roots and get a retouch foil, but have them add more highlights to it. I bet you'll love it then!

Answer 2

What are you trying to accomplish? With that many processes, your hair isn't going to be great. Sounds like he used the wrong toner to me. Are you trying to go blonde? No matter what you do, I'd advise getting a keratin replacement conditioner. It will be worth it to put some life back in your hair. You only need a little once a week or so. If you have a Sally Beauty Supply store where you live, ask for K-Pak by Joico, or the Ion brand of keratin. You might also want to try to let the color fade a little before you immediately put another color on it. Or do the highlights again. As long as your stylist puts the right color toner on your highlights, it'll be blonde, if thats what you want.

Answer 3

If you had really strong hair to begin with, the processes MAY not have been too much. The problem with AT HOME color jobs is that certain ingredients in them dont react well to the color used in salons. I wouldn't go back to see the same hairdresser. I'd look around and find a new stylist who either specializes in COLOR or has experience with COLOR CORRECTION. When you find someone new, let them know what your hair has been through. Depending on the condition they find ur hair in, they will know what to do AND recommend some fantasic deep conditioning treatments. Good Luck!!

Answer 4

I think natural is the best way to go. All those processes just seem like they would really damage you hair. If your hair has taken three processes it's probably stronger that most but I still would not recommend a fouth. If you must, remember to use a good contitioner to keep the hair strengthened and protected from all those processes. U may even want to use a reconstructor or hot oil treatment.

Answer 5

No, it's not going to fry your hair. I have had way more treatments than that in shorter amounts of time. Just make sure you're conditioning your hair properly, find a really good deep conditioning treatment and use it at least once a week.

I would wait at least a couple of weeks before going back to your stylist though. Give it some more time to fade, and you may like it better.

Answer 6

Yea, you shouldn't be changing so often. The more chemicals your placing in your hair, the more damaged it will become. So, figure out what you want and try to stay with it. Give your hair some time to breathe before suffocating it again.

Answer 7

You really need to go see a different hair dresser. Make sure to let them know about the abuse your hair has been through. Maybe they can tell you something that will help.

Answer 8

YES

P.S good vocabulary (detrimental)
