Yellow Gold Hair With Orange Highlights and Platinum Roots!
Submitted by natalietodd on Tue, 12/02/2008 - 15:45.Yes, that was my hair color after dying my lightish brown hair to blonde using Born Blonde Maxi by Clairol. I must admit I did not follow the directions re: snipping 3 pieces of hair and timing it and I did not read the part about doing your roots for half the time so my ignorance resulted in the title of my post. I was cocky b/c I have been coloring my hair blonde since I was 13 and never had a problem.
Ahh! Hair bleaching disaster!
Submitted by xox_bananna_xox on Fri, 11/28/2008 - 13:34.Well I had medium brown hair and bleached it using Live Absolute Platinum... However my roots went yellow and the rest of it was still brown, I definitely covered it all.. I even used 2 packs to make sure. So, I've tried it again with Jerome Russell BBlonde - Covered the lengths and ends of my hair first and then did my roots and left them on for a short amount of time.. However - the lengths are still darker than the roots. Its really uneven and I don't know what to do?
A Triple Mess: color, highlightner and color removal= one huge disaster
Submitted by bonany on Fri, 11/28/2008 - 05:28.I used a color / highlighter combination mix where I highlighted the top of my head like a one big bowl. To rectify it I used a color removal kit all my head instead of the top and left it on to long. My hair got damaged and turned a orange blond mess. Then I still proceeded to color my hair with a medium brownish. My results were okay more on the red side, however I got patches now. Some spots are blond, some dark, some red. Is there any way to fix that?

At home hair bleaching. Will this work?
Submitted by Brookexcallan on Wed, 11/26/2008 - 00:46.Like most, I have been thinking about bleaching my hair myself. [Next month after my christmas holiday begins. Id like to be platinum before new year]
My hair is a light/medium brown and used to have a slight redish tint but I think it has pretty much faded out.
I was going to get a stripper/pre-lightener soon and strip out my current hair color and depending on the results color over it with a light/platinum blonde.
Then until next month get it in top notch form for the bleaching.
