i highlighted my hair blonde 5 months ago, and it was bleach(i used the loreal chunky)
i've been trying to cover it
i dyed my hair dark brown but it is still showing the blondes(not that much though)
then i dyed it red(the loreal powerreds)
it covered the blonde but then a week later
the red faded out now its showing again!!
HELP!!!!
is there any way to cover bleached hair!?!
do you think the salon hair colors can cover the bleached hair??

That's odd that the color isn't taking on your bleached strands. I've never had a problem covering hair that's been lightened. And I've bleached my hair and re-colored to go from a dark brown to a caramel blonde. After all, hair colorants work by stripping the color out (with peroxide) and then dye-ing the strand.

What colors do you use? Cool? Warm? Neutral/Ash? If you're using any sort of golden shade (and red is a warm shade), the yellowish aspect probably will not disappear completely.

A salon should be able to fix it at any rate.

i had my hair highlighted and she pulled it through the cap and used bleach.. my hair had platnum blonde streaks in it.. and i have med brown hair.i used redken shades eq hair color.(semi perm. color)used a color close to my natural color( or you can use a shade lighter) i have had good luck with it.. last for about 2 months.. providing you use shampoo... etc for color treated hair...you might try a semi perm. hair color, do it your self.. or get it down professionally..
good luck
