okay, so ive dyed my hair my entire life. i used to be really bad about it and not thinking about the consequences, would dye it like every 2 months. after about a year of the 2 month cycle crap summer comes alone and i decide to go crazy. i bleached my hair about three times just to get it to a beautiful, natural light non orange blonde. after about a week i got bored and dyed it demi-permanant blue with raw true blue hair dye.
long story short, summer ends and school starts, i dont want black hair but also dont want to screw up my hair any more so i go to a salon and spend over $200 with the end result in mind of a nice natural brown.
my stylist bleached it 3 times (and in a row) and then decided to dye it a light brown color, decided she didn't like it, [i wear glasses so i couldnt see anything she was doing with them off] and re-dyed it blonde and then put red-orange vomit-colored chunks in it.
yeah it sucked so i decided with my natural hair color dark brown almost black to dye it all black and not dye it for a year to make it healthy. i broke that vow and dyed it about six months ago with a little reddish tint after the black had pretty much faded.
now its summer and i wanna bleach it and do crazy colors, but im not sure what kind of bleach to use. i dont plan to bleach my whole head, just a small portion, and no salon cause moneys broke and no job so im broke.ive cut out most of the black dye since then but some of my tips have a little left and i know dyed black hair and bleach dont mix. help and suggestions pleeease.

I recommend an in-salon treatment like Kerastase Oleo treatement or Loreal protein pre-dye treatment or if this is out of the question, try a home remedy of smashed avo, honey and egg, apply to clean, dry hair for 30 minutes and rinse thouroughly. The egg will replace much needed protein and the honey is incredibly moisturizing - the avo has the best of both. Your black tips are going to turn orange so you will need to cut that out completely. Another suggestion, try avoid box dye, this stains your hair making it that much more difficult to change your color - rather use an approved in salon dye which is also a lot kinder. As for your stylist doing her own thing to your hair - demand your money back! It's not what you wanted and $200 is outrageous! [ Flange's advice column | Ask Flange A Question ]
