hiya,
I have fairly long hair (to my ribs). It's dyed black (home dye...I know it's bad!!).
Basically I was moaning to my friend (qualified hairdresser) about the cost of my hairdressers at the time and she offered to dye it for me, I said I just wanted the same darkish brown semi permanent colour. All fine til I looked in the mirror and it was black!! I was mortified. She apologised but the damage was done.
Anyway since then, for the past seven years I've been dying my own hair. I went to the hairdressers for a strand test but they said my hair just melted it's in that bad condition.
My question really is what is the best way to repair my hair and what work/how long would It take to go lighter. I'd love to end up with brown/blonde ombré eventually but I can't see that happening!! I'm just so sick of my hair!! I tried grey extensions but didnt last 6 weeks til I'd had enough too much hard work for me!!
Any help/suggestions much appreciated xx
