Question Posted Sunday September 21 2008, 3:25 pm

So my hair was medium to light brown and i decided i wanted it blonde. So i bleached it (cant remember the name of the product) and it turned bright yellow! so i put in some lighter caramel highlights which look fine but the problem is the rest of my hair apart from the highlights. Its still quite yellow and goes orangey at times. I have a shampoo called shimmer lights which has toned down the yellow to a large extent but its still quite yellowy and i dont want it to be yellow at all. I want it a natural blonde colour but not as light as platinum blonde.

So the question is, should i use a toner? or should i put the colour of the highlights all over my hair? if the worst comes to the worst i will save up to go to the hairdressers, but id artehr try and fix it myself first. My hair isnt a disaster, but it isnt the blonde i wanted.

Any advice would be helpful =]

Sorry for the long question.

xxxxx

The first mistake you made was bleaching your hair yourself. I too have made this mistake and the only way I knew how to fix it was to turn it brown again.

GO TO YOUR STYLIST and NEVER try and bleach your hair at home again!

Dark colors are easy to do at home....NEVER BLEACH YOUR OWN HAIR!

Be careful about using hair products to bleach or streak your hair. Some are fine, and others can leave your hair with unwanted colours and a brittle feeling. Yuck! Some are all right, though. When you go the drugstore, ask the ladies that are there to help you choose the right product. Or search a bit online first; you can usually find good products there.

Here's the breakdown:

CHEAP=bad.

Pretty simple, right? Although it can be tempting to buy two dollar hair products, the majority of the time they won't work. Always spend just a little more money [unless you're absolutely positive about the product]. Even then, you can never be 100% certain that it will work.

I know you wanted to find another solution, but the way to get your hair totally fixed is a GOOD hairdresser. Not a cheap one [Don't go to Great Clips].

Good luck! To get rid of the buildup in your hair from the bleaching products, wash it with baking soda and vinegar for a quick fix.

Best of Luck,
