Hello everyone !
I am new on this forum . I could do with the advice of either experienced hairdressers or people who have been in a similar ( nightmare ) situation. Sorry it's a long story ! I am a brunette and I had highlights for a few years before I decided to go platinium ( aaah that stunning icy blonde on pinterest...so many victims ) I went to a salon as there was no chance I would do this on my own . It was lovely for a few months but then I got tired of the high maintenance . I asked my hairdresser to do a " root stretch " so the regrowth blends alright . Thing is, it looked awful .
It was a really warm/brassy brown clashing with the cool blonde . It looked like I had a hat on !
Then I went to another salon, one of the stylist said she could sort my " hot roots " so she just applied loads of highlights on top of the brown to break through the " bloc style " and lifted the brown color. Obviously I expected damage.
OH BOY THE DAMAGE.
The result was nice looking don't get me wrong but I should have just let my hair rest and stay away from the bleach. Anyway, that was about 8 months ago. I did let my hair alone then for a good while, I only had a few highlights around my face about two/three months ago. Now I absolutely don't know what to do with my hair.
My crown area have been completely ravaged from months ago and initially I wanted lowlights put through my ends to stop the roots being so obvious but my hair is that porous it wouldn't last . I dont wan't to be too dark/brunette either . But my hair has been really damaged . What could you suggest me ?
Looking for advice on condition and colorwise. Here are some pictures to help you see the extent of the damage and the weird color . Sorry for th bad lighting !
