Hair dye
My natural hair colour is a very dark brown but I've been dying it for about a year.
A while ago I tried to dye my fringe hot pink, but it went wrong so it was bright ginger. I tried to dye all my hair chestnut brown to cover it up but the front was still lighter. I dyed it again a few months later but the front was still lighter than everywhere else.
I really want to get it back to my natural colour but the only way I can do that is by growing it out or using a colour stripping solution. I've never used one before and I'm not sure how badly it will damage my hair. I have very thick hair and all the dye hasn't really affected it, so I'm not sure whether or not that will make a difference. Any advice or suggestions on a colour I could dye it would be welcome.

I'd suggest that you go to a salon and have them strip it and dye it back (bring an old photo of yourself with your natural color to give the stylist a better idea of what shade you're looking for). It'll cost you more money but that type of thing is much, much better left to professionals. Besides, if you mess it up, you'll have to go to a salon anyway.
Next time you're looking to dye your fringe...try bleaching it first to get the hot pink you wanted.

Well, I've had my hair stripped before with bleach and it messed my hair up really bad! The products used in my hair made me sick and my hair was completely ruined afterwards. It was really brittle and broke a lot and it felt and looked like hay. I had to dye my hair 4 separate times after this to get it to look half way decent. I think you should dye your hair a dark brown, let it grow out and cut the split ends every couple of weeks and use shampoo that has conditioner already in it AND use a conditioner afterwards and put spray leave-in conditioning in it when you get out of the shower while it's still wet. Try not to blow dry it a lot because that also dries it out. Good luck. =)

You have a couple options here (I'm an aspiring cosmotolgist) You can use a Clairol color removal. What this does is bleach's your hair a whitish-blonde so that when you dye it your "natural" color again, it stays the same color all over, not lighter and darker in certain sections. Or you could get hair-dye that matches what you think is your natural color but go a shade darker, this will end up being lighter on your hair making it more even looking. or you could always just let it grow out if your willing to wait that long. Regardless of what you choose get a hot-oil treatment (there at walmart about $2.00) this will keep your hair from becoming so badly damaged.

if you wanna do it yourself, you can find a color that is closest to your natural color, bleach your hair, and then dye it the color that you bought. Or an even better idea; go to a salon! haha they will know what to do to fix up your hair =] good luck ♥!

Okay, i dye my hair a TON. Like maybe 8 times a year, so i know all about what your worried about. I also have thick hair, that doesnt really get too damaged. My advice is to go a little darker than chestnut brown, maybe a dark brown. So that if the dye fades it will not be too light. Garnier Nutriese is really good for hair and doesnt tend to damage, but it fades quickly. You may want to use Color Silk, it does not fade quickly. My best advice is to go to a hair stylist and get your hair professionally darkened, it would not fade.
As for the color strip, it will not restore your hair to its original state, but it would bring the ginger back once again. So, my advice is to not try that out, and it does give the hair a slight damaging effect but so does the ammonias and dyes.
hope this helps.

If I were you, I'd go to a saln. They can do it right. Don't dye it yourself anymore for right now, especially with cheap home kits. You'll end up frying it! Get that taken care of professionally.

hey. what i would do is get dye that is closest to your natural hair color before all the coloring. then, when it grows back, the roots wont be so drastic and you can let your hair grow out, you can even get it cut so the roots wont take so long to grow in. hope this helps!! :) ♥ ♥ ♥
