Hair Dye DISASTER!!?

Ok, My hair is naturally a medium brown. For the last year, I've dyed it black. Recently, I decided to go lighter, now that my roots have grown out about 1-1/2 inches.

instead of stripping or bleaching my hair, I used a light blonde dye, thinking that the result would just be darker than shown on th box, right? WRONG!

Now, my 1-1/2 inches of roots are BLONDE and the rest of my hair is still BLACK/BROWN.

HELP!!

I don't have a ton of $$ to spend. (Otherwise, I would have gone to the salon to begin with)

How can I fix this??

Usually to get the color you want you will have to dye you hair 2-3 times. especially when u are trying to make it lighter without bleaching it. wait for a month and do it again. maybe u can avoid the roots this time.

I guess since you don't want to spend alot of money then a salon is out. Why don't you pick a darker color...maybe like a dark medium brown and color over what you have. At least your roots will be dark and close to the color of the rest of your hair. Whatever you chose to do, good luck!

What type of dye did you use on your hair? some dye are metallic and can melt the hair. if you used Clairol or wella you are in to good products. What happened was you dye all of your hair insteaded of just the long ends and leaving the roots alone. to fix it you are going to have to dye your roots a dark brown .

You really need to go to a salon. I am not making any promises that this will look great. Go to Sallys or a beauty supply place that you can get in to (DO NOT BUY ANYTHING FROM WALMART, ETC. ) You are going to have to use bleach because nothing else is going to lift that dark color lighter. OK get a friend, Powder bleach, 20 Volume developer, tint bowl, tint brush, gloves and plactic cap. Take small sections apply the bleach from the line of the dark to the ends. When done put the plastic cap on and let it prosses. You want to lift the color to a medium to light brown it will look a little orange. Make sure you shampoo and use a good conditoner, and then dry it.That will break the color up so you can put a color over it. And then get from the place a allover color get a 7N or 6N and 10Volume developer. apply that allover. it will come out a little dark but let it fade because it will fade a shade or two lighter or a little more. but you want it to be about that color so it will cover everthing. Dont ever use the stuff from stores. Just because the picture has that color does not mean you can have it. There is a lot more to hair color than just picking a color and putting it on your head. So good luck. please next time go to a salon you will acctualy be saving your self money.And if it is a good salon they should be able to work out a price and style that will work for you.
