Recently I had scalp bleached my hair and it is very unhealthy and brittle, and snapping greatly in some areas. I am naturally a brunette. I hate my hair like this and I regret dyeing it blonde.
My best answer is: if your hair is this badly damaged, it should not be subjected to further chemical treatments. You should live with it or wear a wig until it all grows out.
My second best answer is: Apply a temporary brunette color, such as a weekly rinse. If you choose to go with a semi permanent color, choose one which has no oxidizers, catalysts or boosters of any kind. Above all, and I do mean above all, do a strand test to a small area at the nape of the neck before applying the solution to the entire head.
There are natural hair dyes you can use that have no harsh chemicals in them. Most of them are vegetable based dyes. Make SURE you do the strand test first! But this is what we used at the hair salon I worked at. Read your labels... they will say "no harsh chemicals", "vegetable based formula".
I bleached my hair about 4 days ago, I didn't have any problems other than it turned orange. So I knew I needed to redo it. Today I bleached it again, but my hair fell out. Not completely (thank God!), but enough to where my hair look thinner than normal. My scalp doesn't burn or anything and the color is just a lighter orange mixed with some blonde strands. I'm wondering how long should I wait before it will be safe to color my hair. I read that I can use an ash blonde color to turn it to a light brown. Will that be okay as well?
Thanks so much for the response!
Please help. I went to a hair salon on Saturday and have been left with orange hair, not only that, I also suffered minor chemical burns. It was the worst experience of my life. I am desperate to re-dye my hair asap as I look horrendous. Do I have to put a red on first before a brown will take?
Also as I have these slight burns, would it be OK to use a semi perm dye until I am able to dye it properly once healed? I had my hair bleached Saturday and hoping to use the semi on Friday? TIASo my hair atm is red well dyed out a bit. I was advised to bleach my hair then dye it red for it to go brighter? Or shall I just leave the bleach out and just dye my hair how I normally do just with the red hair dye? Jus confused cuz I want a bright red.
Thank u
I bleached my hair tonight, July 24th 2019, and it's still a little brassy. I'm just wondering if the emerald green permanent dye I bought will turn out that color or do I need another bleach session?
So I went to the salon to get a blonde/brownish balayage (I am naturally a brunette on the darker side), but unfortunately it ended up being this gross orange with lighter streaks in it. How long do I have to wait to just dye it black and not be ashamed at letting my hair down?
Hours after I got the bleach, I gave myself a conditioning treatment. Would I be able to dye it tomorrow using standard box dye? Help!I don't know why you can't go back to the salon to have the owner fix this. There is no reason you should be dissatisfied.
I have recently gone to a hair dresser to have my hair dyed a wonderful gray. However, she didn't have my hair to the lightest it needed to be for it to take and hold the gray. So now I have a lot of blonde/yellow showing through the gray after just two washes!
I'm wondering if I could just dye my hair gray over the previous gray to avoid bleaching again for a while, or do I need to just start over and go through the bleaching process again? Please help!High fashion blonds, platinums and silvers, require that the hair be pre bleached to the pale yellow stage. There are two reasons this is necessary. First, the toners which are applied to the bleached hair have a blue, violet or blue/violet base. If not enough yellow is removed in the bleaching process, the residual yellow and the blue/violet of the toner could result in green.
The second reason is that toners are very delicate colors. If the hair is not bleached to the correct stage of pale yellow, the hair will not have the proper porosity to 'accept' the toner. The toner is deposited only to the outside of the cuticle and will quickly be shampooed away. The toner must penetrate through the hair cuticle to get a lasting color.
Also know that since toners are very delicate, they can be stripped from the hair even if proper penetration is achieved. This would be the result of using a shampoo that is not designed for bleached and toned hair. Also, keep in mind that excessive exposure to sunlight can fade these delicate toners.
Recoloring you hair with a grey color will not solve your problem. It will only temporarily cover the yellow.
The hair must be bleached again to bring it up to the color manufacturer's suggested stage of pale yellow and porosity, and then the 'grey' toner reapplied.
It seems that your hair was bleached to almost the needed degree of 'lightness'. Your second visit to the salon should take only a portion of the time required on the first visit.
Once you achieve the desired color, be sure to use a shampoo specifically designed for bleached and toned hair. The best colorist in the world cannot guarantee the toner will last til time for a bleach and tone retouch, if you use a shampoo at home that can strip color.
For what it's worth: You should not have to pay for having the bleach and tone corrected, only for the shampoo and set (if in fact you do get a shampoo and set (or blow dry or whatever).
I dyed my hair last night and it's come out far too blonde. It is much higher than I thought it would be. I really hate it! What can I do? I was told to wait to go to the salon.
Yes. The corrective work should be done by a professional. If you should decide to recolor your hair, yourself, you should choose a color several (at least 2) shades lighter than you want the end result to be.
I just lightened my hair, it's white, light blonde, a touch of yellow with a small amount of orange. I want to put pastel blue on it now. I've already put a toner in. How long do I have to wait?
I went the hairdresser's yesterday to have my hair changed to blonde they bleached it, but it's lighter than I wanted. It's light grey and in places yellow.
I was wondering is it safe to put a box dye on today to make the colour less bright and to make it all one colour?I got half of my hair bleached about a year ago and I dyed it a nutmeg brown a month ago. The ends where it was bleached blonde are lighter than the top of my hair.
Can I dye my hair again with the same color to fix the lightness at the bottom or will it not change my hair at all?I just recently color stripped my hair and bleached it because I wanted it blonde. I hate my hair and it's only bleached so far and I want it back to black.
How long do I have to wait and how can I get it black without it ending up any other colors?I had black virgin hair and wanted to get a plum ombre. Instead the stylist bleached and dyed my hair pink.
I can't go to college with this hair. I need at least a dark brown dye. Can I get my hair redyed?I went to a hair salon today and bleached my hair. It came out orange from the bleaching. Then I dyed it medium brown, but it is now an almost light red copper color.
What should I do to fix it? My regular color is medium brown.
