hi guys!
ive been reading and taking advise from you guys for a while now, and so i decided to join properly today
i have had the same dilema now for a year and every hairdresser i have spoken to cannot help me, here goes....
just over a year ago i had a bleached platinum blonde bob, i had re-touch roots done every 6 weeks or so until my hair reached just pasted my shoulders then i began having just highlights as i wanted to return to my natural colour which is a mousy brown/blonde.
i ultimatly want to achieve the old beach/dirty blonde look, natural colour with high lights through it ( lauren conrad, whitney port, marris miller etc) but every time i mention it to my hairdresser they just look paniced and say either "well we'll have to dye it all red, then a brown but you wont be able to get any highlights until 6 months or so" or "well we can try putting some low lights through" which we did on my last visit to the hairdressers and my hair went a horrible green/blue metal colour (which i washed and washed with medicated shampoo until it faded - i was gutted!!) turns out he used a colour for grey hairand thought because mine is white/blonde it would have the same effect???!! obviously overlooking the fact that mine is bleached and so pouros it just held the cool ash tone???
as the past year has gone by i get highlights done every 3 months or so, and so my roots are now about 1.5 inches and i have an appiontment with another hairdressers tomorrow (on good recommendation from a friend) and so im hoping they can help.
i really want to achieve the natural blonde look, just not sure it is possible??
please please please can any professional hairdresser help me, any advise would be greatfully recieved
thanks in advance
