Hi, I have just had an absolute disaster being bleached by a professional hair salon.. I am devastated and desperate for help!!:Scared: (So sorry for the essay........):zzz:
I went to a hairdresser today that was recommended by a friend, and specifically requested that they do NOT use any peroxide etc on my hair as I want to let my hair recover as it is very damaged towards the ends. I stated that I no longer what to be platinum blonde and return to my natural colour (a darkish mousey brown) so wanted to blend the lightened bits with my roots and lose about 5 inches off the damaged ends.
I had gone through hell (for me) letting my roots grow for 6 months without bleaching, conditioning my hair every day and using a moisture mask twice a week and using leave in conditioner every day.
I didn't realise until it was too late that he was pasting bleach onto my roots , straight onto my scalp (I've only ever had highlights professionally so wasn't sure what he was doing at first), he hadn't listened to a word I had said, and I didn't know what to do as the friend who recommended him was there, so I just let it happen and hoped for the best, and sorry but I'm too much of a wuss to complain so I paid and left.
I now have orange roots, my hair is really badly damaged and is breaking off within an inch of the root in large patches, and my head is sore and covered in red blotches - I just have no idea what to do! I can't afford to go to another salon and have them fix it, and I don't think I can step foot in the place that did it ever again!
:Scared:
What can I do to stop it breaking at the root?
And how long do I need to leave it before I can think about having a (minimally damaging!! like semi-perm?) browny colour put over it so it doesn't look exactly how I didn't want it to look?
Thank you so so so much :hug:
