So I have had darkish brown hair since forever. For the past two years I have been adding blonde highlights to my hair. There is a lot of them so it makes my hair seem lighter. Lately I have been hating the way it looks with blonde in it. So, I have decided to dye my hair back to its original color. I am wondering how this will affect my hair? i have never "dyed" my hair before, and I was thinking it might make my hair different. So is there any bad side affects that could happen to my hair because of dying it?

The first thing you need to know is that any chemical you put in your hair is going to cause a certain amount of damage, its not something that can be avoided. Its all on how you take care of your hair and also be sure not to color it too often. Wait the appropriate 4 to 6 weeks depending on how fast your hair grows and get a root touch up. Then when the color starts to fade, that's when the rest of the hair can be colored again. What you should do is go to a professional. The last thing you want to do is use any sort of box color or anything to buy off the store shelf. You have a much higher risk of color build up and box color contains metallic dye which can cause irreversible damage and breakage. I strongly suggest to go to a hairdresser, pay the extra money and get it done right! [ mandaxpanda21's advice column | Ask mandaxpanda21 A Question ]

I suggest getting an all natural dye since you are only going back to brown or maybe a demi permanent hair color from sally's beauty supply. [ smileydino's advice column | Ask smileydino A Question ]
