Fix Hair Dye Disaster

The Journey of a mizunderstood woman: A Hair Dye Disaster!

So the hair dying begins! 4 oz of the developer + 2 tubes of the 8N dye in a cup and mix it well. I applied it to her hair from midsection to bottom, waited a few minutes and hit the roots (this way, the roots wont turn lighter as it lifts color faster because its close to the scalp and the heat speeds it up) The application prolly took10 -15 mins and we left it off in her hair for 15-20. So we were so excited revealing her newwww hottttt hair color! She jumped on the tub like its a life saver and immediately washed her hair! We didnt want to mess it up any further! so we decided to just find a salon to color correct her hair! So we went around the area looking for a good salon with a good price! We got mix comments on it and mix price! One salon said it would cost $200 to match her darker ends with her lighter roots (She want how her light reddish brown roots turned out) and it would take at least 4 hrs!!! 2 of the salon said they can not make the ends lighter like the roots and gave us a price of $50-70. One salon though offered to even out her hair with the color she wants and a hair cut for $170! BINGO! So we immediately scheduled an appointment for tomorrow! And now its 8:30 pm and we started at 3 :) Whew what a long day! Thankfully enough though, we didnt have time to do my hair today! And i can only imagine the horror it woulda been! My hair was previously dyed too so its a bit more complex to color than an untouched hair. Additionally, i chose a color lighter than what she did! I dodged a bullet there :P Im waiting a few more weeks till i get enough money to get mine professionally done lol.

Aw, it is troublesome dyeing your hair from dark to a lighter colour, always turns out reddish. Had the same problem when I had coloured my blond hair black and wanted to go back to being blond again, I looked abit like I had a carrot on my head or something haha! I hope it works out well for you two and that you get the result you are trying to achieve :)

Well it was kind of a bad fix, I went to a hairdresser that dyed my hair abit more brownish and with highlights, still looked abit orange though but atleast better. I had quite short hair back then though so I decided to let my natrual colour grow out, so after awhile the orange was gone. So yah not the best solution! Hopefully if you go to a professional that know what they are doing you can get the right colour on your hair at once.
