Colouring problem


Question Posted Wednesday November 7 2007, 4:17 pm

Heyy

I tried going blonde a couple of times, once by a salon but that looked awful, and then tried permanent home dying it..

Sort of ended up with a gingery blonde which toned down to some sort of dark blonde lol and my natural colour is a sort of dark brown/blonde

In other words i have darker roots about 2 inches down my hair and then it goes gingery dark but lighter blonde..

anyways my school is taking yearbook photos [last year of school =]] in 3 weeks and i want to look good and well iv found this picture of the hair style/colour i want:

[[on tha right]]
and the dark bits of her hair are liek the natural sorta colour of my hair and so all i would want is the blonde streaks puttin in..

BUT i have that block of gingery dark but light blonde that i cant get rid of.

So i was wondering
-if anyone knew any products that got you back to your natural colour?
-If i should find a hair dye close to my natural colour, to maybe tone down the gingery blonde?
-If a salon can dye it one colour, then put streaks init?
-If that process could take under 2 weeks
-If it would cost a bomb/ and which salons to trust.
-If salons do that kind of 'worn in' look lik the pic, like streaks not necessarily from the roots

-Just generally what to do with a budget of £100 and if they could do that, to get it looking exactly like that!

Becoz i dnt trust salons after the first time i got it coloured awfully =|

XXxxxxxxxxx

There's a product called color opps and other hair strippers that take out previous dyes. If you used bleach, then no it won't work.

You can try dyeing your hair close to your natural color or even a bit darker to cover multiple shades.. Buy a highlighting kit to. You can grab a piece of hair and wrap it around some foil, put some of the highlighting creme on it.

Some salons can fix it up while others will refuse. Some are really concerned about customer complaints and damaged hair. So that's usually why people don't get good blonde hair from a salon..

So you can go to one and ask what they could do to fix it. Some will refuse to do what you ask and some will try to help you as much as they can without too much damage. You really need to find a good salon and a good hairdresser you can trust. But you can buy conditioning & hot oil treatments to restore your hair back to 'health'

Salons will cost a lot. Usually a dye job can cost around $40-60 depending where.

I really don't remember the price since I do my own hair.
But it's best to go to a salon full of people in their 20's or 30's. I find that people around your age seem to listen to what you want more than the older crowd. AND, i've been to a beauty school before and they do pretty great jobs. They are always supervised with a teacher. Their students may do drastic colors & cuts, so they can do your hair.
