Getting rid of highlights
I have dark brown hair and about 6weeks ago I decided to get blonde highlights.
I no longer like them and really want to go back to a dark brown all over. I don't want to have to go to the hairdressers. I have bought hair colour myself and dyed it in the past but not over highlights.
Does anyone have any advice on what I should do. The bleach isn't too blonde anymore, will it effect the colour I put on!? ie turn it pink or green where the bleach is?

I agree with the other person about buying a neutral color. Don't buy one that has warm or ash tones.
I used to have dark brown hair with blonde highlights. When I wanted to cover them up, I dyed it over with a darkest brown (almost black) dye and it got rid of the highlights for like 6 months. The problem is that they started resurfacing when summertime came and my hair was in the sun.
You'll face that problem no matter what, so just make sure you stick with shampoos/conditioners made specifically for BROWN/DARK color-treated hair. If you get shampoo/cond that jsut say they're for color treated hair (and don't specify if for blondes, redheads, brunettes), don't use them because they will bring your highlights out.

It should be fine but you need to look for the correct sort of hair colourant.
Get a hair colour that is meant for covering grey hair and getting even colours. I had a bit of a disaster with bleach the first time i dyed my hair pink and needed to get rid of it and it worked well.
Nice and easy by clairol works well if you have that wherever you live.
Hope you like the result!

Just make sure the color you have is a neutral color, it should have a number and after the number there should be a letter, make sure it has the letter N. What this is going to do is the neutral hair color is gonna color over your highlights and it'll come out with natural tones, which you want.
Your hair will only turn pink if you put a red color over it or it'll turn green if you put on ash onto it.
So basically just look on top of the box for a number with a letter next to it, if it has an N and only an N, you got the right one.
I hope I helped you.
