So for two years, ive always dyed my own hair from kits from the store. Well, my hair ended up developing this orange tint to it. So i said enough was enough, and decided to save my money up to get it professionally highlighted. I tried to get these platinum blonde highlights, but it turned out even worse becase.. 1) the lady didnt even do a good job and 2) because my hair still had this orange tint to it. So my question is - how do i get rid of the orange color? I cant just wait for my hair to grow out. Ive decided to get light brown and blonde highlights at a DIFFERENT salon this time in April. But is there a way they can get rid of all the gold/orange tones in my hair FIRST? (Instead of just dying over it.) If so, how much do you think it will cost?

Pretty lengthy process. Going to be expensive because each step can cost anything around $80-$100. I would call the salon you are planning to go to ask about prices. Then, ask to speak to a hairdresser. See what the person says/thinks about your situation. Then if you like what they say they can do. Then make an appointment with the person you talk too.

Sorry to tell you this but its deffinity not good to dye your hair a lot because it will ruin your hair majorly. Dont dye your hair from the kits, get it doen at a hair solon like your going to do. Ask your hair salon person what you can do to get rid of the tint other then dying it.

xOchErrytWistOx answered Monday March 14 2005, 8:32 pm: Well, first of all, do not try to re-dye your hair from the box! It will just make a bigger mess. I would suggest you find another colorist (ask some friends; get recomendations!), then try them. Also, this may not be a good idea, but it will bring back ur natural hair color - you can strip your hair. It takes out any color in it and then it is dyeable. Also, bleaching it and dying over it may work. Talk to a colorist. They will know the most about it and the orange will be hard to cover up at first, but it will end up ok. It probably will cost anywhere from 75 - 150 dollars. If you wnat the color and the highlights, it's going to be more expensive. Just a color would be less expensive. Ever place is different!
if you need anything else, let me know.
xoxo
