I know you're going to hate me! But I did what all hairdressers dread and during quarantine I decided to bleach my hair from dyed darkest brown to bleach blonde :/
It looked okay, but my hair was very dry and my roots come in so dark that I hated the look, so not long later I dyed it right back to brown again with a permanent brown colour. It looked absolutely AWFUL, I didn't do any research and just popped another brown box dye on it (permanent).
I'm sure you already know exactly what happened; it was an awful sludgy greenish khaki colour. So I immediately sent out for some more hair dye and got a SEMI permanent dark brown colour. It is okayish looking, surprisingly my ends are lighter than my roots though and I thought the opposite would happen. So while the roots have come out okay, I guess because the are less damaged? My ends are still lighter by quite a bit.
Now, I don't want to touch my own hair ever again with a 10 foot barge pole and am going to see my hairdresser. After all that rambling, I only have have 2 questions really.
As a professional, given my situation can you tell me if you would need to strip my hair of the previous colours I've put on it? I want to go to her and ask her to put a permanent dark brown colour similar to my natural colour on, the same darkness the roots are now so not lighter. But will a permanent hair dye be able to work on top of all the other stuff I've done with it?
If I don't have to have it stripped (I really don't want to put my hair through much more, it is SO dry, and it also costs an extra £30 or so), can I get the permanent colour done soon? Or do I have to wait for the current hair dye to fade?
Thanks so much for any advice!
