Blonde to Brown...Gone Ginger !
Q : Major hair disaster
My hair was blonde (only a nice and easy light ash blonde) and has been so for months.
Yesterday I decided that I would go to a medium brown for the coming winter, and its gone ginger!!!
Answers :
"I would suggest you get yourself to a good hairdresser who should be able to correct it for you. The only other thing you could do is apply another, slightly darker, brown on top, but personally I wouldn't risk it. Hope you get it sorted..."
"Rinse rinse rinse, shampoo, shampoo, shampoo firstly - then I'd suggest getting a semi permanent or washin washout colour in a dark blonde or light brown (no golden tones in it) until you can get yourself to a hairdressers."
"When my hair went sludge green a year ago I put lots of 'head and shoulders' onto my hair dry and left it there all day, then rinsed it out and kept washing with the head and shoulders as it contains an ingredient which helps strip the colour. It worked a charm! "
"I've done this too! I dyed over it with a darker brown. Although if sounds a bit risky best you go to the hairdressers. Hope it works out ok!"
"I put a dark blonde on it and it seems to have calmed it down a lot.
I also washed it again this morning and that's toned it down slightly.
Why do I do these things???"
Tried to Go Blonde...Went Yellow
I tried too dye my hair platinum blonde yesterday with the 'Schwartzkoff live colour' but its gone yellow!!! What can I do? someone suggested a brown dye with a red tone to make sure the hair doesnt go green and someone else suggested another blonde dye. Is there a set time that I should wait to dye it with using a bleaching agent on it?? Please help!!
Answers :
"I *think* that using a dye with ash tones would work. But beforehand you could always ring a hair salon and ask their advice."
"Another blonde colour won't change it at all - could even make it worse. They just don' t have strong enough bleach in them to lift hair more than a few shades."
"A darker colour will cover it, but if you want to be blonde your best bet is going to the hairdresser - it might cost a bit to put right but at least your hair will be the colour you want it to be."
"Jerome Russell does a bleach kit that you can get from Boots. It comes in two parts, a sachet of powder and a bottle of liquid - mix the two and apply. Can't remember if it's called a highlighting kit or just a pre-lightener. Your scalp will itch quite a bit while it works, but it will make your hair go light after about 15 minutes or so (do a strand test). If you then apply a platinum blonde hair colour, you'll get the colour you want. Make sure it's lightest blonde though, or it'll go ashy brown.
Be warned though - buy lots and lots of intensive and leave-in conditioners as your hair will be wrecked. Bleaching to platinum is not good for your hair! If you decide not to do it, a red/brown dye will cover it up fine. I had my hair white blonde for years, then dyed it red one night - looked cool and nobody recognised me the next day ."
"Look you can either bleach it again so you get it pale enough to put a blonde toner/dye over it. OR if you want to go back to brown again, use a red dye first (chestnut or auburn), THEN put an ash brown color over the top. That should take you back to brown without going green. Hope this helps".
