I have super bleached streaks of hair recovering from blue hair dye. i want to turn the bleached sections into a more natural looking warm golden colour to better blend with the rest of my reddish light brown hair. It also has to cover the remaining hint of blue.

are there any natural products i can use?

or semi-permanent products?

And HOW do i use these products??

i read that cranberry tea is suppose to make your hair reddish, but i did a same strand test and it turned it bright pink... not what i was going for!

If your hair was dyed blue, it will be difficult to make it a "natural looking warm golden" color without getting rid of the cool (blue/green) tones first. This is usually done with bleach, which might be too damaging for what you're trying to do.

Going to a corrective colorist is always the best, but it'll cost you, and oftentimes the results are still not as satisfactory as you would expect for paying that price.

My advice is to try this first:

Get a semi-permanent product that is a medium copper/orange color. Put this on for 15-20 minutes, rinse, and see where you end up. My guess is that it will be a muddy light brown. If this starts to look more natural, cover it with another semi-permanent color. At this point, you can probably go for a dark golden blonde or light golden brown to add more warm tones to it.

If your hair is still too bluish/greenish/muddy/drab after all of this, it means you need a lot more warm tones to counteract the blue, and I would not recommend experimenting too much at home. It's not that you can't, but it'll be a pain in the neck (figuratively).

I hope this gets you in the right direction!

I have totally been where you are at and unless you want to have even more problems with your hair go to a professional! The problem is that you can take color out of hair easily but it is very hard to put back in. If you don't use a filler on your hair before putting the color on it will absorb the color wrong and turn out really bad. If you put a brown color on bleached hair it will turn green - seriously I made this mistake and I am talking GREEN!!! If you put a color on bleached hair that has even minimal amounts of red in it you will end up with pink!!! Had a friend that made that mistake.

So go to a professional. But be sure to go to someone really good. Let them know before hand everything you used on your hair and how long ago. Ask them how long they have been coloring hair and if it is less than 5 years find someone else, because they can screw things up to! If they do screw up your hair when you have it done do not leave until they fix it, even if they say they have another appointment. DO NOT leave until it is right!!!!

Good Luck!!!

Put a semi-permanent color on over the bleached blond. Be careful of DIY haircare, because the color on the box is NOT the color that your hair will turn out!

Jason cosmetics has a brand of chamomile hair dye that dies hair golden.

I personally haven't tried, but I've heard good things about Jason so I'd probably give it a try.

i think of human beings respond nicely once you do formidable issues which comprise your hair. they tend to observe you extra. human beings will in all danger think of it incredibly is exciting, brave, and relaxing. as quickly as I dyed my hair blond it got here out an orangy-yellow because of the fact my hair became into dark first of all. My friends informed me to watch for my scalp to heal after which do it back; lots of those with dark hair would desire to dye their hair 2 situations or extra to get the needed color. you will desire to ask your mom approximately that. yet i think of human beings will incredibly like the orange! they're going to think of you're formidable, relaxing, and you will stand out in a crowd.

Without damaging your hair you would want to get a hair dye that is sylifane.
