HELP! Anybody who can help me with HAIR BLEACHING AND COLOURING!?

Question

My natural hair colour is a medium brown. i wanted to go blonde, so i bought a permanent dye from boots in "lightest natural blonde", and all that did was make my hair a little lighter. So i bought another one. that made it ginger.. so as a last resort i bought a loreal bleaching kit, thinkin that would finally do the trick.. this has all happened in the past 3-4 days! and all the bleach did..... YELLOW/ORANGE RESULTS.
Its AWFUL! i really dont know what to do! but im DEFO going to ditch the whole idea of going blonde! i think im just going to stay brunette - save the hassle!
BUT WHERE DO I GO FROM HERE?
CAN I DYE IT AGAIN WITH A DARK BROWN?
WILL THAT TURN OUT ANOTHER DISASTER?

I WANT TO GO TO A SALON BUT THEY ARE ALL CLOSED 4 NEW YEAR!

PLEASE HELP ME .
SERIOUSLY . IM A TEENAGER AND I DONT REALLY FANCY GOING BACK TO SCHOOL WITH THIS HAIR!

Answer 1

As a hairdresser I am seriously advising you to not do anything yourself. Wear a hat until you can get it done proffessionally.

Seriously cos you will have made your hair very porous now and I'm betting it's whiter on the roots than the ends? If so the you need different tones on the ends to the roots. If you keep putting more and more on it you risk 2 tone hair but just darker or yellower!

Even as a hairdresser whole head bleaching is not straight forward and unless you are naturally very fair I would be wary of advising anyone to do it themselves.

Answer 2

We've all ruined our hair with home coloring kits, so now you're part of the club, if that's any consolation to you. It's not possible to lighten hair without bleaching it, which I think you've already found out. I think you can find a salon that is open to fix your hair, and I think a professional will be best able to help, but if that really isn't an option, you need to get a semi-permanent color like Clairol Natural Instincts in your natural hair color and use it. However, because your hair is bleached now, do a test strand before putting the dye all over your hair. You probably only need about five minutes of processing time to get your hair cuticle to soak up the color. The Natural Instincts kit has great directions on doing a test strand. The kit also has a deep conditioning treatment, and make sure you use it. Save some of the conditioner so you can use it over the next several days too. You'll look fine in time for school, so don't panic.

I have done this so many times!! Its a night mare. 1st dont buy anymore shop coloures they are rubbish they are too low in peroxide especially the blonde ones.
Dont use bleach from shops they wreck the hair and they are again not high enough in peroxide to really lighten the hair.
If you want 2 go back brown here is what u need to do.
1) Go and buy a ginger hair colour or a red one and a brown colour of your choice. Im being serious ok, it needs to be red or ginger as you have died and bleached it and it has taken all the naturla coloures out of your hair and you need to replace them by using a red or ginger.
2) Apply the hair colour untill you hair is bright red/bright ginger.
3) Rince of and dry.
4) Apply the brown and leave on untill the recommended time.
5) Rinse off and you should have a nice brown colour.

PLEASE understand if you do not use the red coloure before doing the brown and you just apply the brown your hair will turn out a greeny colour or a greyish colour. YOU must put the red back in to the hair first.

I hope it goes well for you.

NEVER buy a blonde from a shop they are rubbish.
Good Luck

Answer 4

Hi your best bet is to try a darker hair dye - closer to your natural colour but a shade or two darker. Hopefully your hair will take this colour. If not, your only other option is to get colour correction from the hair salon when it opens. Also yout hair will be getting quite dry from all the bleaching and colouring so make sure you buy some intensive conditioner to help it.

Hi Smiles:)! Looks like you have a problem. If I were u, I would buy ur natural hair colour at the store today, and then dye it on Tuesday or something, so that the nasty color would settle. Because if you didn't let that color settle completely, then you would be ending up getting a hair color like...a bad one. But if u put it on the settled hair, it would turn out normal. I hope my information helped!

Answer 7

DON'T DYE IT AGAIN! it's not worth it unless you want to lose alot of hair, 2 years ago my hair was ruined by bleach and then when i wanted to go dark again it went khaki green/grey colour and went really stretchy, most of it snapped off and i had to wear extensions for a year. My advice would be to wait and go to a proffessional, i know it's hard but it's worth it!
it's not just about the dye's they use its about toners etc which you don't have at home and now you have stripped your hair of most of its natural colour the whole structure has changed.
good luck! x

Answer 8

Oh no. Try to calm down. Don't do anything in a hurry. Just be very careful. I had a friend who died (litterally) her hair too much in one weekend and it all frizzled up and went really corse. Another friend burned his scalp and was left bald in patches. Try a test patch at the back of your neck and make sure it turns out ok before doing the whole of your head. Good luck. If it all goes wrong try wearing a cool hat?

Answer 9

You need a pre lightner to dye your hair blonde. Well about 2 or 3 actually.

Just shove a dark brown over it.

Answer 10

Use pure lemon juice. Squirt it on clean hair where you want the highlights, and go out in the sun for a few hours. Or, what works better for an overall lighter color, is make chamomile tea and let it cool. Put it in a spray bottle and before you go out in the sun spray it in damp hair. Then hang out in the sun for a few hours and do this a couple times in one week!
